Is there an open source bot I can get for BTC-E? I'm interested in automatic trading but I don't know how to get started.
You can write your own bot in any modern programming language using the BTC-e API. Also MtGox, Bitstamp, Bitcoin-24 and probably more popular exchanges support this.

These API's mostly give you the possibility to track the price, the market depth and place orders, making easy for you to implement your own trading bot.
