Title: High Frequency Trading on the Coinbase Exchange
Post by: Coinbuddy on May 18, 2015, 08:14:09 AM
I’ve recently started trading bitcoins algorithmically on the new Coinbase exchange. After reading about high-frequency trading in the book Flash Boys by Michael Lewis, I decided I’d give it a shot myself, albeit in a clumsier, more amateurish way.

The experience has been fascinating, both on a technical level, and in a strategic sense. Writing logic that controls money itself is a strange thing. Setting it loose for the first time, knowing that any bug could literally throw away cash, was terrifying.

Your thread title is exactly the same as ChrisPop's and it is a bit confusing.
Do you think you can modify yours a bit so that we can separate the two?

Thanks  ;)
