Bitvision

Bitvision is a JavaScript terminal application for viewing Bitstamp data, charting Bitcoin prices, and placing manual or automated trades. Its automated engine uses logistic regression with historical candlestick, technical-indicator and blockchain data to forecast the direction of the next day's Bitcoin price change.

Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use Bitvision when you want a terminal-based view of Bitstamp and Bitcoin-related data, or when you specifically need its manual order or automated-trading controls.

Who it is for

  • Bitstamp users who want to view Bitcoin charts, account information and transaction history in a terminal.
  • Traders who want to place manual orders or explore an automated, model-driven trading option.

Documented uses

  • View a daily Bitcoin exchange-rate graph alongside related news, technical indicators and blockchain data.
  • Review current account balance and previous transactions.
  • Place manual buy or sell orders through Bitstamp.
  • Enable a daily forecasting process that can place risk-adjusted trades.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The documented installation uses npm and requires Node.js 10 or later and Python 3.7. Trading access requires Bitstamp API credentials with specified permissions; credentials are stored locally.

  • The dashboard is terminal-based rather than a graphical web interface.
  • Automated trading is distinct from viewing forecasts: when enabled, the daily process can place buy or sell orders.
  • The README says the application is in alpha, warns that some trading features are buggy and not fully tested, and marks portfolio metrics as under construction.
  • The application uses Blessed.js for its command-line interface, the SciPy stack for charting and trading services, and a local JSON-file store.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
