Title: Program to monitor the different exchange rates Post by: dextryn on July 16, 2012, 05:33:43 PM Hey all,
I've been a miner for a while and I'm looking at getting into a little bit of trading. I'm trying to figure out how to monitor all the exchanges out there in real time. Is there a common program that is used? I know pretty much any site has it's own API but I honestly have no clue on how to use them. Any help would be appreciated. -Thanks Title: Re: Program to monitor the different exchange rates Post by: gweedo on July 16, 2012, 05:40:05 PM if your willing to pay I be able to whip up a java program that allows you to set prices, that will be alerted when any of the exchanges hit that price

Probably like an hour of coding and testing. Title: Re: Program to monitor the different exchange rates Post by: daybyter on July 16, 2012, 07:42:12 PM Wow! If you can do this in an hour, you are really, really, good! I'm still working on a similar app, and it took me many weeks yet...

http://nyse-group.de/bitcoin-arbitrage http://bitcoin-analytics.com/ theres a few android apps. One of them I'm trying to remember but can't find it, I'll remember it at some random moment. or something more like http://btc-trader.org/ theres a few others, I can't rember, but I'm getting more interested, and have really wanted to write my own trading bot for a long time, but it takes me a long time to code, since I have to get a collection of cheet sheets to look at.

He sure will need at least 4 days :) Title: Re: Program to monitor the different exchange rates Post by: daybyter on July 18, 2012, 06:42:50 PM Would still be very good. Maybe it's not too hard to read just the tickers. But tickers won't help you too much for trading, since you can't see the order volume...
Btw: when you read the btc-e.com ticker: buy and sell are mixed compared to MtGox. Pay attention to this...

Pay attention to this... what do you mean exactly? where exactly do you read it? you are taling about any concrete charts?

I could help test if you like. PM me if you like.
Title: Re: Program to monitor the different exchange rates Post by: PatrickHarnett on July 18, 2012, 07:55:56 PM My simple solution was to scrape something like bitcoincharts into a spreadsheet. I also link to FX markets and GLBSE so I can update as required for the different exchanges and currencies I monitor. When I was trading more frequently it also calculated my arb opportunities. Now I just use it for real time accounting.
