Output
The script is intended to be deployed on the Cloud or a 24/7 Online server.I have deployed it on a Rpi.
Status
This script can be further automated using the coinbase/poloniex or various other Exchange’s api’s to sell and buy automatically as per the set min_max targets.This is not advised though and is very risky financially.
This is a very basic version and there are plans to develop a proper package with more functionality.
