Disclaimer: I do not endorse the influence McAfee’s tweets have on the crypto market. I think it’s very dangerous for one person to have the power to manipulate markets the way he does.

- Timed orders (e.g. sell after 30 min)
- General order management (/neworder)
A stream is configured to listen to new tweets by user IDs specified in config.json. When it receives a tweet, it checks if any coins that trade on Bittrex are mentioned, analyzes the overall sentiment and determines which coins you should buy. The Telegram bot then sends you a message with those buying options and allows you to inspect a market summary of all the buying options. Along with the market summary, it provides you with a button that you can press to buy the coin on Bittrex and asks you to specify how much (in BTC) you would like to spend and places a buy order at the asking price.
McAfee doesn't only tweet the coin of the day. A Telegram bot is merely a conservative approach to prevent the bot from making stupid trades. E.g.
