## What it is
Cointrol is a Bitcoin trading bot with a real-time dashboard for the Bitstamp exchange, built with Python (Django + Tornado) and a Backbone.js single-page webapp. It automates trading based on price triggers and provides live order/transaction monitoring, which can also be used standalone without executing trades.

- monitor my bitstamp orders and transactions in real time
- build a trading bot with price change triggers
