The OctoBot project

A small open source project

February 2018, the cryptocurrency bubble just popped, a large correction as started. Guillaume and Herklos (OctoBot's founders) realise that pure technical analysis based trading starts to work well again.

After searching for a tool able automate and optimize their trades, they realise that no open source robot allows to easily achieve this task. Herklos and Guillaume decide to develop a robot that will be optimized for technical analysis based strategies and easy to use.

Birth of the OctoBot community

Thanks to its presence on github.com, OctoBot starts to grab users' attention. Slowly but steadily, the OctoBot user base grows and in early 2019, the OctoBot community was born. With time (and no communication except for the github.com repository), the community continue to get larger and larger.
