Title: Successful Bitcoin bot? Post by: itake on June 28, 2011, 07:31:33 PM I am currently working on writing my own bitcoin trading bot. I just want to know, is it possible?
My latest version can only beat the market by a very narrow percent, assuming perfect market conditions. Title: Re: Successful Bitcoin bot? Post by: BTCcommodities on June 28, 2011, 07:34:02 PM well, I guess then it's not.
unless you make it. but then again, probably not. no telling, really. let us know! Title: Re: Successful Bitcoin bot? Post by: Moxed on June 28, 2011, 07:47:24 PM it is possible to make good bot if you understand the market.
im also working a vb.net bot however mtgox API are not working for now :( Title: Re: Successful Bitcoin bot? Post by: angelo95 on June 28, 2011, 07:50:03 PM I have one which is working very well. To code such a robot you need knowledge of three kinds:
- coding obviously (I did mine in PHP, will move it to Python/C++ soon) - autotrading/hft trading - algos Title: Re: Successful Bitcoin bot? Post by: Acidka on June 28, 2011, 08:37:19 PM will try to write my bot on php then api will go online

Wikipedia hasn't been helping me that much :-( Title: Re: Successful Bitcoin bot? Post by: angelo95 on June 28, 2011, 09:52:20 PM it's all about buying signals and selling signals, but I am sorry I can't share ;)

Title: Re: Successful Bitcoin bot? Post by: angelo95 on June 29, 2011, 12:49:01 AM At this time it's pretty tough as the value is almost flat. Before the Mtgox crash it was doing +100% per week.

Title: Re: Successful Bitcoin bot? Post by: Zoomer on June 29, 2011, 03:19:04 AM Thanks for narrowing the spreads / reducing volatility / predicting the future.
Welcome to arbitrage / trading! Title: Re: Successful Bitcoin bot? Post by: johnvm on June 29, 2011, 03:30:29 AM It most definitely is. I'm an algorithmic equities trader and there are definitely super easy opportunities in the BTC market right now.
Title: Re: Successful Bitcoin bot? Post by: achillez on June 29, 2011, 07:08:36 AM johnvm can you give some basic algorithm examples on how this works? I've always been very curious how one is able to predict ups/downs in the stock market (and I guess btc now as well :: )

I mean, logging in by using the postbacks for when you normally log into the site? e.g. Login here -> https://mtgox.com/users/login -> https://mtgox.com -> to buy/sell your coins. |
