Title: [Searching] BTC-e bot/script solution for flat markets
Post by: btceing on March 18, 2014, 10:38:30 PM
Hello Bitcointalk people,

I have been searching for a bot/script for with the ability to sell&buy at specific prices to make a profit during relative flat markets. E.g:

When the price of BTC/USD is 600 that a bot can set up the following trades:
Buy 1 btc @ 585
Buy 1 btc @ 595
Sell 1 btc @ 605
Sell 1 btc @ 615

For my strategy to work a bot should be able to place a Buy order once a Sell order has been filled at a higher level (e.g. 1 btc  bought @ 595 place --> 1 btc Sell order @ 605). And it should do the same thing for filled Sell orders (= placing a lower buy order).

This strategy could be profitable if:
- Each trade earns more then paid in fees and;
- Enough trades made during the time that prices are within my range of buy/sell orders.

With an automacted system during relative flat period, this strategy could work. However after searching a bit on bitcointalk/github/google, I haven't found any bot for this.

Anyone aware of a, preferably open source and free, bot that is capable of executing a strategy like this? Or can point me to resources have to build one myself (e.g. how should a bot interact with the API instruction/how to interper data send by API/ how to send instructions back to API)?

Would love it, as newb here, to get some help further directions!

Happy trade,

Btceing

My online bot can do this. Is that maybe what you are looking for?
