Great stuff! It was quite exciting to play! I figured I'd attempt to go long when above the trend line, and get out when the price fell below the trend line. Only in the world of crypto trading would an annualized return of 640% over 3.75 years be described as "Better than nothing" and "At least you came out ahead". I guess those lackluster assessments are deserved when you consider that my net return of around 25K was only about ten percent better than just buying and holding. Did you use some kind of javascript framework to create this?
Yeah the comments are a little cheeky :). Pretty much everything was build in house with the exception of ReactJS and Redux. I mainly reused a lot of components from our front-end on https://merklex.io/trade.
Thanks for the info on that. It's an entertaining little app. With a wide range of data sets (e.g., other crypto coins, stock market, Forex), this sort of thing could be turned into a fun group game at a party, with onlookers cheering on participants as they compete simultaneously on their tablets. It would be way more entertaining than most board games. Upon further examination, I've noticed that when you click the sell button, you're selling roughly ten shares (about a tenth of your starting position). I wonder if you'd consider adding a button or two to "Sell All Shares"/"Buy With All Funds"?
