============
Simple python bot for trading forex on oanda.com
It can only trade one instrument
Built on top of https://github.com/oanda/oandapy
This is only a sample for your robot with simple sample strategy. You NEED to implement better logic, otherwise you WILL loose money.
I have my own strategies that I run this bot with, you need to implement your own logic in logic/strategy.py.
Currently there is a sample moving average cross over as an example.
