Example for a cryprocurreny exchange

This example demonstrates where Oliver Twist will manage multiple orders. Be aware the cryprocurrency exchanges use AVERAGES only, so you will see situations where your wallet does not have enough for a specific order, subsequently purging it. You can use "ConditionalRepurchase":"Yes" (experimental) in your exchange config file to tell the system to repurchase the amount at a better price then the original.

This example demonstrates the most effective and profitable way to trade on a cryptocurrency exchange. It allows only ONE position of the asset at a time. I have spent 2 years testing and researching this to know that a single position (non-accumulation technique) is the most profitable way of trading.
