Quick CrowTrader Mac guide.

Make sure you have Chrome/Brave installed – it is all we’re supporting right now.
Make sure you have Java 8 installed (this is only temp for next week or two). Download it here if you don’t: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
Download the zip file and unzip it onto your desktop or somewhere you are comfy.
Go to that directory and double click on the mac-start.command file to start the bot.
A text window should show up that says: CrowTrader started
In chrome go to this link: http://localhost:2112
This will start the setup. YOU WILL NEED A VALID BINANCE KEY TO COMPLETE SETUP.
If this completes correctly, you will be then redirected to the Dashboard. This data is all canned – it’s there for looks and we will be adding real data soon.
Go to backtesting and create some backtests. Running 1m candles will get you trades sooner. 1m candles, 24hr timespan, end date of today. When the backtest completes, you can click the ‘Start Papertrade’ at the top of the chart to add it to papertrading. Since the bot does to intra-candle trading, longer timespans are perfectly legit and could get you trades quickly too.
