I built a Bitcoin DCA bot – here's why
I started DCA’ing into BTC many years ago. I kept missing buys, buying emotionally into pumps, and forgetting during chop. So I wrote a simple script that hit an exchange API once a day with a fixed amount. Friends asked to use it, so I generalized it and added a DB to manage multiple users. Why I didn’t use existing tools: Most options I tried were either locked to one exchange or did fixed-amount DCA with naive execution. I wanted multi-exchange support and a way to scale buys during dips and preserve capital during rips. I also kept running into inconsistent API rate limits and…

Hello HN. I built my own automated Bitcoin trading bot and noticed that many others want to do the same thing, but lack the coding skills required for the harder stuff, like order execution and backtesting. I like the idea of making automated trading more accessible to existing day traders as well as newcomers. Hopefully this will also inspire some people to learn to code. We’re currently in private beta, but please check out the site below. Feedback is more than welcome. http://tradewave.net

Hi HN! For the last few weeks I've been building an algotrading bot based on the Supertrend indicator. It's a trend-following bot that uses the Supertrend lines as support/resistances to enter long/short trades and it's currently running in simulated mode (not real money) on all Binance futures pairs. I've written a somewhat detailed write-up about the strategy here: https://ailef.tech/2021/05/20/im-building-a-cryptocurrency-trading-bot-that-you-can-follow-live-on-telegram/ The cool thing about the bot is that he reports everything on his Telegram…
Compare doing dollar-cost average (DCA) in Bitcoin VS Stocks2024 · bitcoinvsstocks.com · ▲5DCA is a popular strategy that consists in saving/investing the same dollar amount (let's say $250 every month) in an asset. Here's a simple, easy to use, and verifiable (code is open source) calculator so that you can brag with your friends how your portfolio outperforms bitcoin (yes, I also wished I bought NVIDIA...)

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
