A theoretical, greedy algorithm that can trade a certain cryptocurrency or stock.
This has also been tested in the real world, and with a few tweaks, the proof of concept worked.
However, due to slippage and other market factors, this kind of algorithm won't work very well in the real world, since the algorithm focuses on short and quick gains over a short amount of time.
