Title: Problem Creating Simple Bittrex Bot in Python
Post by: virtfund on May 31, 2015, 02:31:51 PM
Wrote a simple bot to automate a task for Bittrex trading. Here is the source code:

from Bittrex import Bittrex
import time

trader = Bittrex(APIKEYS)

while True:
   while trader.get_balance('LDOGE')['result']['Available'] is None:
      time.sleep(15)
      print "1"

   bal=trader.get_balance('LDOGE')['result']['Available']
   print '2'
   trader.sell_limit('BTC-LDOGE', 0.00000004, bal)
   print '3'

whenever I run each command through the command line I get this output from trader.sell_limit (and .buy_limit just to see if that was the problem):

{u'message': u'ZERO_OR_NEGATIVE_NOT_ALLOWED', u'result': None, u'success': False}

Any ideas why? I have a high enough balance for the trade.

I'm not sure why you posted this in currency exchange. This is just for trading currencies with someone. You probably will have better luck if you move this to the appropriate board. Maybe try Technical Discussion. I'm not even sure thats the right board, but you'll probably get more hits there than in here. You can move the topic at the bottom left of the page.
