Bitcoin Forum

I just want to do Bitcoin arbitrage, which encompasses three markets high price, low prices, and leverage, it can let me accomplish a lot profit, and I hope to find a trading bots can support three markets, so I can relaxed for a while.

There is no easy money. If such bot exists, it won't be cheap.

If you already have your own trading software you can connect it to a new exchange for a couple of days.

Most of exchanges have their own API, like btc-e.com

https://support.btc-e.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/212/0/api-trade

There are many opensource bots which you can use directly, or tune them to your needs. There's no sense in making new bot for every new strategy, it would make maintaining such bots a nightmare. If you describe your strategy in detail, maybe we can tell you which one has functionality closest to what you want to achieve.

My code only supports bitfinex and btc-e. Never heard of lakebtc. Maybe it could be added with reasonable effort. Don't know yet.

arbs are easy money.

Trading bots are very dangerous and will likely result in a lot of trading losses.

Even if the bot is running automated you still need to watch your account to make sure the market is not acting in a way that would warrant the bot to be turned off.

How to add?

Although I already have a trading robot, I'm not a professional in this area, add their own new API is probably a problem

Arbitrage is really not possible anymore as it will take too long for your withdrawal to be confirmed by the receiving exchange and prices are not that far apart between exchanges

btc-e, lakebtc is always cheaper  5-10 dollars than bitstamp, bitfinex on coindesk price.

Is your code open source?
There seems to be available API on lakebtc: https://www.lakebtc.com/s/api?locale=en

It is difficulty to supports 3 exchanges at the same time , after all, everyone's needs are not the same.

But for each exchanges seems to have a corresponding  trading bot can be used

Bitfinex and btc-e do have api support.

All you need to do is write an interface and come up with a good AI.

The API implementations are open source. My bot framework and the bots are not.

Can you give me an introduction?

Over the last half a year, I've built my own bot to do automatic trading on a bunch of exchanges. It currently works with bitfinex/btc-e/bitstamp. Latest addition is a margin trading arbitrage model between bitfinex and btc-e(MT4), it can open opposing (long/short, short/long) or similar (long/long, short/short) positions given a signal trigger defined by me. I'm a programmer, so I don't have the magic trading formula... however, this kind of tool could be pretty powerful for someone who knows trading.

If you are interested, I could customize a trading bot for you given your trading specification/signals/formula with the price being relative to the sophistication/requirements. You would receive the .NET source code as well for safety. PM if interested, we can discuss timelines/pricing.

Trading bots are almost always going to be a bad idea.

I am also looking for it.

Well, I look for other people if they have ready trading bots, and it's good enough, I'm willing to pay at most 0.5 BTC to buy it.

I expect anyone PM to me.

I got something running, but the fee structure is a problem. For now, I just use the highest fee without any discount, since the trade code doesn't know the volume?

Yes, some exchange fees regularly adjusted, bad user experience.

nice
So the bots finished? Can you share it or buy?

No, the bot is not finished. It cannot trade automatically, because stuff like withdrawing from btc-e is not available yet. I wrote some code for it, but it was never tested. There's also some other private API code for LakeBTC etc missing. You can look at the code here:

https://github.com/ReAzem/cryptocoin-tradelib/tree/master/modules

But these are just the exchange API implementations. The bot framework is closed source at the moment.

for BTC-E you can use any Metatrader bot with their MT4 account. there are thousands of them, automatic, halfautomatic, for free, expensive. they are called expert advisers

example?

yes,

for example you use 2 EMAs crosses as signals. what you would do is google something like this, and you find a bot fast: https://www.google.com.br/search?q=ema+croos+ea&oq=ema+croos+ea&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.2855j0j1&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8#newwindow=1&q=ema+cross+ea&safe=off&spell=1

EMA cross EA
thanks, I know what should I do now

all you need is a working algorithm......the EA for it you generaly find for free

I am a student of financial college who know nothing about algorithms and code, how could I do?

Has anyone tried out haasbot? (haasonline.com).
Im looking for a bot to trade, and this one seems to be quite trust worthy. 

nothing......if an algorythm is good, the person doesn't share it.......any shared algorythm is not good......a good algorythm that is sold, won't work long. the more people use it, the less will it work

useful when you know what doing. to say different, it can work or not depends how you use it and for what. its like a tool.

BS. there is not one algorythm. its a bunch of them and then someone interpreting.  the software  of goldman sachs is worth billions, and in combination with good traders they make money. pretty bots at godmode-trader.de

read again what i wrote. does GS share it's algo?

oh yea ? cool  where the place to study about aloritheme and code ? no places

I know a trading program that you can create your own rules for is called qtbitcoin trader. It's a good program, however you will need to input the rules yourself such as if price goes above or below this then execute a number of other functions, etc.

You're molested him >:(

They all provide their own API, if you will use, it will not be difficult

ok, thanks  :)

We launched the WebSocket API recently (https://www.lakebtc.com/p/2523?locale=en), users who wish to use LakeBTC WebSocket API may visit LakeBTC API documents for instructions, sample code, and Javascript lib file.  https://www.lakebtc.com/s/api

Can you explain to a 5 year old how to do that? I know a little about php and such.

Was wondering if anyone have sample code written for bitfinex bot either in java or script.

I write java code for bots. But I do not write code for a specific exchange. I wrote me a lib to abstract from those APIs, so I can use the same bot code for all supported exchanges.

But I have a question: what do you think is such a bot worth? What would you pay for it?

The key is finding enough traders to pay for the bot. If you have a fully configurable bots for the major exchanges, it shouldn't be hard to sell it for around 10-50 dollars each. Which can add up to a hefty sum.

It seems to be 0.5 BTC

Even if you can find 1000 traders, it wouldn't pay the development. And the traders wouldn't make any profit anymore, because you'd have 1000 bots trying to make the same trades.

Was the bot available yet?

What do you mean?

This is a problem. Have anyone come to solution to this? For instance, you can have each local bot poll the exchange in different interval starting from different timestamps, randomizing the interval, so the insight into the prices on the exchanges will be slightly different. Even then the trades from each bot would heavily influence each other, since the trade logic is similar, especially with arbitrage. Must be something else could be done about this, but I fail to see it.

The only solution is what the do with good forex bots....they sell them for thousands of dolars.

Can you point me in which direction to search for them?

no, sorry....i'm not an expert in forex bots....you sure can find cheap bots if you google, and all of them will promise you gains, but you know ho things work in this internet world

The market seems to be very lack of trading bots

More than a month has passed, it seems that no result.

Hi, my bot works on BtcE (and other exchanges of course)

This is the official topic : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=507103.0

This is the price list :

https://i.imgur.com/FEKXCda.png

Are there any trading bots available?

ok, thanks, but it seem to an altcoins bot

I did not release any code, since I don't see a viable business model.

Thank you, but this is not what I want.

I didnt see this suggestion, so i am adding it here.

Why dont you just use MT4 on BTC-e, there is a full library of both free and paid EA (Expert Advisors ie Bots), that you can use with source.

does mt4 not only work on btc-e?

Hey guys,

We developed leonArdo, a trading terminal with algo trading support for BTC-e and Bitstamp (soon):


More details can be found here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=506317.0

In summary:

- leonArdo is written from scratch in C++/Qt and is available for Windows/OSX/Linux.
- BTC-e and Bitstamp (soon) support. Other exchanges will follow.
- Concerns about trust/security? Have a look at out peace of mind section in the post (see link above).
- Unified trading API in development. Write your code for one API, get access to all supported exchanges.
- Available for a discount till final official release (updates are of course included).

Please, if you have any questions, let us know.
You want a special algorithm implemented? No problem, just talk to us.
We put a lot of effort into this and we love to hear your feedback and ideas.

Sorry for the ad, if this does not fit here feel free to delete it.

Have a nice day everyone.

why start with low volume exchanges like BTC-e and Bitstamp ?

What exchanges would you like?
Bitfinex, BTC China and OKCoin are on the list.
We also have plans to support distributed exchanges like counterparty.

Before we started the development of leonArdo we just wrote some trading strategies for fun and profit.
BTC-e and Bitstamp were just the two we happened to start with.

nice

Haasbot BETA (available with all licenses) trades on: BTC-E, Bitstamp, Bitfinex,Cryptsy, Polinex, Cryptsy, Houbi, CampBX, ANX , mintpal and okcoin will be added.

If you have any questions about the bot just PM me.

how soon??

where can I experience?

You can already get a beta copy for BTC-e (for the discounted price).
Bitstamp will follow prob. next week. It works already, but is under heavy testing right now.

For any details just have a look at: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=506317.0
A video is available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bm1G_Vlzq9k

or just PM us.

Could you please publish links of good bots (open source) that you think are good ones, so someone like me with no experience in trading could study them.

Thank you.

Good and open source (when you talk about Bot) are not 2 words that could work together  ;)

This is not necessarily true. It would be possible that a bot is open source but also has many customizable variables that the user can set to trade at certain times/under certain circumstances. 

Most users ask for a click and earn bot...nobody wants to learn the trading issues...  :'(

Of course, it's not an universal rule.
If a "very very very good person" wants to loose month of work, changes, releases etc to create a fully functional open source bot, there's the possibility that this bot will be very good. But I don't know about results when a lot of people start to use.

I Sell a Bot, 1 year of hard work, full support, no open source code, no free (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=507103.0)
This is the result of :
- Lot of test and code
- More than 30 release
- Work with users to find the best way to add features
- A Bot create for CryptoCurrency and not using real market patterns (EMA, MAC etc are not useful for Cryptocurrency Market, but many people think different)

in fact , if the bot is good it wont't be available.....and even if it is good, it will be good only until the markt changes (what it does frequently)..the only way to work with bots midterm to longterm is to create AND to adust it's on one owne

Always looking for a collab to build better bots, btw...  ;)

I don't find the BTC-e's bots no longer now,  it's fee too high!

Now I do not like BTC-e, its fee is just like robbery

which bot or platform do you use?
