Do any of you folks know of a good Bitcoin trading bot? I'm currently trying https://github.com/askmike/gekko in simulated mode, but its lost about 30% of my simulated money in 5 days.

Wouldn't that suggest your strategy is flawed, not the bot?

I think the bot comprises a large part of the strategy. Maybe the bot is good...though, I'm not sure what settings to give it.

Better late than never here but from a quick look at their documentation it appears that you can configure the logic as you please to design your own parameters for executing a trade. Check out the configuration and trading methods documentation.

I have no personal experience working with these bots but I'm sure there's some great discussion online elsewhere regarding the general strategies applying to BTC and equities trading as well.
