Thank you very much for posting this. I've been looking for a Trade Bot, figure I can work out the trading algorithm, needed a jump start on the API stuff, etc.

No problem good luck trading!

Again if anyone or you find a bug, or add a new API market, send in a pull request and I will test it and add it to the main client.

Thanks for the sources!

Why do you retire?

No problem! Because my strategies weren't being profitable anymore and I don't have time to work on new strategies, so I decided to focus on my other project rather than this.

Did your btc-e implementation work until recently? Mine has stopped working now... :(

Invalid sign ... guess they modified their api again ... :(

It does look like it isn't working, I am going to see if I can fix it today or tomorrow.

Any chance you could release a sample arbitrage strategy?

Arb on one exchange? That's simple: usd => btc => ltc => usd on btc-e as an example.

Using 2 exchanges:

Yeah this bot wasn't made for arbitrage thru many exchanges, it is meant to only run one exchange at a time, I just packaged the api's together since I would run multiple instances of the bot one per exchange. Mostly bitstamp and mtgox

Gweedo, Btc-E API v3 seems to be the problem (thanks to Jasmin68K for the hint):

https://btc-e.com/api/3/documentation

But I can only find Russian docs at the moment, which I don't understand... :(

Yeah I saw this, as well as I am waiting for the english version.

But it seems the Trade method is identical to the older versions?

So my older code should still work .. I'm somewhat confused ...

Btw: look how old the v3 announcement is. Don't think it makes sense to wait for a translation.

I mean I will take a look tonight for sure. I know that the current marketapi for btc-e isn't working, I tested so I got to see which part isn't working as should be and replace that. But if anyone wants to open a pull request on this I be more than happy to test it and make sure it is working correctly.


Thanks, I will take a look.

No Problem enjoy!

gweedo, I solved my sign issue. The problem was actually the decimal separator of amounts and prices. I had used ',' before (i.e. 2,35), but btc-e stopped working with that. Now I use '.' (i.e. 2.35) and it works again. Had nothing to do with the encoding of the sign.
