Primary LanguageRuby

boring-crypto-trader

Use limit orders to do dollar cost averaging

Allows you to frequently buy small amounts of cryptos on Coinbase without fees (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, etc)

Doesn't try to be be clever about timing, just buys on a regular schedule throughout the day

Setup

You'll need recent-ish versions of ruby and bundler

bundle install

Register a GDAX API key -- just need View & Trade permissions

Then copy .env.sample to .env and put in your API keys

Running

TEST=1 bundle exec ruby trader.rb buy 0.01 ETH

You can specify how much you want to pay instead:

TEST=1 bundle exec ruby trader.rb buy 25USD ETH

Remove TEST=1 to buy things for real

Good luck
