Welcome 👋
This website is the home of Create a cryptocurrency trading bot in Elixir book.
This book is 75% complete - chapters 1-15 are finished but I'm planning to add more content in the near future.
Are you looking for a real-world project to gain hands-on experience/solidify your understanding of Elixir/OTP? You are in the right place! We will venture on a journey to create a cryptocurrency trading bot in Elixir. You will be able to see first-hand, how complex systems are designed and developed as we will build them together!
This book is based on Create a cryptocurrency trading bot in Elixir video series released on YouTube.

Contributing / Errata
The book is written using R Markdown(it's a very similar syntax to the GitHub markdown but supports many more features including code execution, etc.) and converted to final form (for example PDF) using the bookdown app. This means that editing a chapter is as simple as editing the markdown for that chapter - there is even an edit button at the top of the page to do exactly that. I would love to follow the standard process of forking, making changes, opening PR, merging, and releasing a new version of the book. I invite people to open issues as well with suggestions.
