Bitcoin Forum

We also have a nice manual trading mode :).
You can also think of the automatic trading mode as assisted trading.
Just have a look at the video.
The strategy recommends an order, which then can interactively be adapted by direct Mouse (drag/drop) interaction.

If you have further questions, just let us know. We are happy to help.

Sure, for this price with this little background, its definately going to take off

If you guys have any other concerns, questions, ideas or remarks just let us know.

my bid 0.5  ;)

Will I have to give you guys my BTCE keys?

.. Since: let us make this clear from the start: I wont  :D

Good question. An no you don't have to send us your key.

You can just setup a new API key pair (key + secret) on
your BTC-e account (alternatively, you can of course also create a
dedicated account, just for leonArdo). By sending us the first half of your
secret, we can ensure that leonArdo just works with your BTC-e account.
So we don't need your key at all.

I hope that helps!

Thanks for getting the ball rolling Soloturn :)

Good luck implementing the plugin for CrAptsy!

Thanks :). But this should not be that much of a problem.
The software is modularly structured. So we basically just have to implement another market interface.

Further, the market interface is running in a separate thread. Which means that even if we are dealing with higher latency exchanges the software takes care of it.
When placing an order at a slower/unresponsive exchange, the software will handle it in the background.
The progress is always visible in the status bar on the bottom ( as it can be seen in the video).

So then please be so kind and elaborate on how we could do that.
We can't withdraw funds from an account with the information we have and we won't take any payment before we can deliver the product.
We didn't have an account on this forum so we had to setup a new one.

Further (as mentioned before :) )
a) we don't take the payment directly (e.g. escrow)
b) even if we wanted we can't withdraw the funds from the exchange
c) we have a video that demonstrates that this is not just some fantasy product
d) we will provide support to users to run the software in a virtual machine if they wish to do this.

Hi, is this the complete API reference page? : https://btc-e.com/api/documentation

nice to have you here Sampey :).


At least this is what we are using.
If you have any specific questions, let us know.

Hi  ;) ;)
I was curious to understand how you create the market history graph (max min open close volume etc) if in the API page there isn't an API Call with the market history values (or maybe i haven't seen it!).
BTC-E api seems very poor. Where's the order creator API?

I Have also checked here : https://support.btc-e.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/26/4/trade-api-en But it seems the same API spec

There simply is no BTC-E API for long term market history.
We keep the history locally on the client but also provide an up-to-date version on the net ;).
Currently we offer a high resolution history for the last two months and this is growing every day.
When you start the software it fetches the history and you are ready to go.

As for creating an order, in the link you sent us there is a
method called "Trade" near the end of the page that allows this.

We are happy to answer any other questions you might have Sampey. The
success of C.A.T was part of the reason we decided to create
leonArdo! :)

Mistery Solved!  ;)
Thanks for the answer  ;)

Hey everyone. Although the major developmental work is done, there is always room for improvement. Check out the latest feature we just added. Before the bins in the graph could either be turned on or off (see video in our first post), but now there is a third option - grayed out! This allows you to, in parallel, easily see the buys and sells you made along with the course of the market. We hope you like it :)

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BiUCS_6CMAEnSRo.png:large


PS Check out that effective gain of 2.58% :)

Note that this has been updated to reflect our new security mechanism to give you even more peace of mind

We added the following to our first post in an effort to gain your trust :) Please have a read and as always if you have any questions we are ready and waiting to assist you!

put me down for 0.5 btc bid, how long does this auction go for?

Welcome onboard darbsllim!

The auction will run until midnight CET on 23 March. This has been updated in our first post.

You are welcome Sampey. Glad to have helped!

Most of you who are clicking onto this thread haven't clicked through to watch the video  ???

Please take a look and tell us what you think  :)

http://youtu.be/jjLbJuUsp0A

What do you like/dislike? What features would you like to have added?

In the process of adding a notification feature that we are sure will become the go to place when you are checking in on how leonArdo is performing. More details to follow, but here is a sneak peak....

A little under 2 weeks to go until launch. Still 3 places available on our bid list!


Remember if you secure a copy through the auction you will also receive our next market plugin for Cryptsy for free :)

I bid 0.6 bitcoin

Thanks MadCow!

Welcome to the party  :)

lol little mistake  ;D

*edit* count me in for .5  ;D

To best understand what we have built I urge to watch our introduction video:

http://youtu.be/jjLbJuUsp0A (http://youtu.be/jjLbJuUsp0A)

Adapt orders in a fully interactive graph by clicking and dragging on them. Click and drag statistic windows and desired effective margins. Hover over order icons to immediately visualise gains made by our custom made bots...

Please take a look and let us know what you think!

Thanks for the bid. If you have any feature requests or questions let us know :)

This looks great.

Count me in for the last .5 bid as well.

So which one is better as an Automatic Trading Platform? How is this one beating the competitions?

Looks interesting, seems like alot of action happens when I'm sleeping anyways.  I'll bid .6 BTC.

Oh i don't know, i have written C.A.T. and i have never tried this one.   ;D

Interested.

Edit: 0.6 BTC

We developed leonardo because there simply wasn't a tool available with which we were happy with.
leonardo is not just a bot. It is a whole trading frontend. It can be run autonomously but can also be used as a nice intuitive day trading tool.
Just have a look at the video to see it in action. You can drag and drop orders, view the order history augmented onto the price chart....
And this is just the beginning, so have a look at the video and decide for yourself :) http://youtu.be/jjLbJuUsp0A (http://youtu.be/jjLbJuUsp0A)

If you want additional features that leonardo doesn't have yet: Let us know and we will look into it ;).

Welcome tifozi, ifxist and Nolii and thank you for your bids.
All the bids have been added to the auction :). 

Is it closed source or open? I'm not sure I would trust something with my trading API keys unless I could view the source code first to make sure there isn't anything fishy going on.

0.61 BTC

And a few questions around plug-ins ...
are new algorithms also called plug-ins?
Do plan to implement more than the two you already have?

Cheers

   one4many

@ LeonArdo This looks very interesting, the interface is similar to what you find in a brokers office, it's about time we had one too.

If you do a plugin for Bitstamp too I'm in.

Cryptsy is shit, orders don't get filled half the time at the right time and massive lag issues, double spends = accounts go into negative balance how will the bot work with those problems?

Also why don't you sell the software with a USB ignition key, like many professional audio recording software companies do they also use Internet Verification that stops people passing on a copy of their program. that may stop the scam accusations. I personally wouldn't be happy with giving you half of my keys no matter how much you say it's safe and it seems like the wrong way of going about it too.
Not sure how hard it would be but take a look at this it may help point you in the right direction, http://www.propellerheads.se/products/reason/index.cfm?fuseaction=get_article&article=copy-protection

Looks like a lot of work has gone into this, I'll be keeping my eye on this. Well done.

It's closed source. But you can create an extra set of keys just for leonArdo and furthermore even if we had both your API keys (which we never will, only a hashed version of one of them) we couldn't withdraw anything from your account anyway (see peace of mind section in first post).

 
We also thought of using something like a USB Ignition Key (one of us also has some audio background :)
But for now we will stick with the key thing. It's what others used (here in the forum) and we already altered it so that you even have to send us less info.
Just because we wouldn't give our full key anyone either!
We are not a company (yet :), so our resources are limited and it seemed like the best way (for now).
We really appreciate your suggestions and hope you understand our decision.

Bitstamp is on the list :)
We also know what a pain cryptsy can be. The idea is to take care of that in the background.
When you place/alter an order, the software will take care of it. You'll just be notified when the order was placed.
Have a look at the notification bar in the video to get an idea.

What other markets would you like, guys?

definitively. There will be more strategies.

If you have an idea for one, let us know and we will take a look at it.
We are also considering to support third-parties to write their own strategies in the future.

Sweet ... please offer a python based interface for your third party plug-ins. Either direct or REST is fine.

Cheers

We plan to have a general interface for the language of your choice, it may even be REST based.
The first release however will not support it yet. At the moment we are focused on making leonardo as shiny as it can get :).
Additional features like plugin support will be added later.

Congrats, you are first in line :)
Welcome and thanks for the bid btw!

A quick update from us:

At the moment we are working on the last touches for the first release but also on a unified trading API (e.g. REST as proposed by one4many).
With that API we want to enable you guys to be able write your own strategies without worrying about the implementation details for every market.
Also leonardo can be used to analyze/control your bots as you can see in the video.
If anyone is interested in writing their own strategy, feel free to let us know your needs and feature requests.

Sometimes, an idea pops into your head and you ask yourself: why didn't I come up with something that easy/trivial in the first place :)
The same happened to us when we were re-thinking the account verification process.  
The result is that you don't even have to provide us with half of one of your keys anymore (which was already less than some others ask for). Now, a simple hash (SHA-256) of it is all we need!

0.62 Cheers Big Ears  Grin

Edit: Would be great to see what you can do integrating this software with counterparty (and the other 2nd gen dex when they get round to theirs!).

Welcome and thanks for your bid :)
Until next week we are focused on the first release, but we are already in talks with other developers to join the project.
Getting leonardo to work with counterparty and other DEXs is something we are really looking forward to do.
We will keep you updated!

A reminder that

were you doing something for XCP on this leonArdo?

Actually our plan is to support all major exchanges and also de-centralised exchanges such as counterparty (XCP). We have started with BTC-e, and will next add Cryptsy before tackling XCP and bitstamp and whatever else there is a demand for! We have already had very positive contact from the XCP team and are looking forward to working with them to create the best possible user experience.

Don't hesitate to ask if you have any other questions :)

Hey Guys,

Are any of you senior/hero members interested in providing the escrow service for leonArdo?
We thought: why not pay the fee to someone who is interested in leonArdo and is reading this thread anyway :)
Just drop us a message. If no one calls dips we'll run it through someone else.

Have a nice day and keep on bidding ;)

Hi everyone,

as I'm interested in this product and a long time user of bitcointalk, I would offer the service for the leonArdo Team, if they accept and trust me.

I would charge a 1 % fee in BTC for the transactions (this seems normal here on bitcointalk for low risk transactions).

If someone wishes to use my service for this software purchase contact me after you have been acknowledged as one of the winners in this auction by the leonArdo team.
I will promise to make the transactions as smooth and swift as I can for all three of us (buyer, seller, me).  :)
Keep in mind I'm on CET, so nothing will happen at 4am usually, unless my insomnia kicks in.  ;)

Thank you and good luck with the auction!

Regards

    one4many

Fantastic.
We will take care of the fees for everyone.

If you don't want to wait a few weeks before getting a copy, secure your copy tonight :)
The auction ends tonight at midnight CET/ 11pm UTC.
  

So, we are nearly there for auction deadline!

Check out this nice image of a leonArdo instance I am using for testing. It's great having a product that pays you to test :)

0.63

0.6 for the other copies...

I hope you accept my bid, i had massive issues with internet and 2 factor encryption...

You will all receive your copies of leonArdo in intervals of a day (starting with one4many :) )

We will contact the winners via pm tomorrow.

We would also like to thank our bidders who didn't make the top 5. We hope that you will continue your interest in leonArdo and maybe even purchase a copy when it goes on general release!

Good morning everybody,

I could not resist and snipe at the last minute for the 1st copy of leonArdo, I'm quite exited about it.   :)

Chang Hum, MadCow, ifxist, tifozi, my offer as an escrow for the leonArdo Team still stands!
The leonArdo guys kindly offered to pay for the Escrow fee, which is a nice move in my opinion ... so all you have to pay is the purchase price you quoted in this auction.

The escrow procedure will be following:
1. Contact me via PM to get a payment address
2. I publicly (in this thread) will announce the payment address
3. You pay and publicly (in this thread) confirm your payment
4. As soon as I received the payment of the correct amount I notify the leonArdo team to release your copy of the software (at the day of the auction ranking). They will contact you with a date/time when you are going to receive your copy.
5. After receiving your copy please let me know via PM that you got your software (additionally you can also state this publicly)
6. Finally I will release the collected funds to the leonArdo Dev-Team

optional 7. We all wait for 'FREE' exiting new features of this probably brilliant piece of software  ;D

All the best!

     one4many

I might get a copy once it goes to general release with more exchanges and lots of cool features to make some nice profits.

Hey everyone,

we will reach out to all the winners later today :).

As one4many is the first in line, he will get the first copy and can report his first impressions before you have to send any funds.
If you have any further questions let us know.

Thank you one4many! Will PM you now.

Thank you for your trust MadNow!
Your payment address is: 1HJ9DuTaPTL2AofZSJ7JUB98yhgBq5RV75

All the best!

P.S.: For every bodies convenience https://blockchain.info/address/1HJ9DuTaPTL2AofZSJ7JUB98yhgBq5RV75 (https://blockchain.info/address/1HJ9DuTaPTL2AofZSJ7JUB98yhgBq5RV75)

Hi,

gave my copy of leonArdo a testdrive today. I like the clean interface and the ease of use. I'm quote happy with the results so far.
Can't wait for the OSX build however, although I'm still a Linux fan in the server world, the desktop usability experience is a lot better on OSX than some Ubuntu distro.  :D

All the best!

    one4many

Payment received in full!

Thank you!

   one4many

Thanks one4many :)

Yay! As already reported by one4many, we shipped our first copy of leonArdo.
We have contacted all the winners and will ship in order of the auction list.

We are really exited and are looking forward to your feedback!

@one4many: If you get a nice series of trades feel free to post a screenshot :)

Congrats! MadCow has received his copy as well! :)

Using it via a X export from my Ubuntu VM to my Mac ... it is a bit laggy that way, but works.
Looking forward to get the native OSX release soon  ;D

    one4many

We just finished a new feature which was requested by one of our customers.
Keep those feature requests coming :)

Timezone augmentation into the live trading view:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bj-pij1CEAASVdg.png:large

I'd like some of the features from this upcoming bot https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=447727.0

do you just wanna promote that software/thread or do you have any requests in particular? :)

We just added a cool feature to leonArdo and wanted to share it with you!

Drag the market chart to the left now and reveal a depth chart. We hope you like our implementation.
Actually having this information in the graph can really help when deciding upon margin parameters for
bots as walls are readily visible.

Anyway, take a look and let us know what you think!

Hey,

Just wanted to let you know that we are working hard on having leonArdo ready for the general open beta release, which
will be in a couple of weeks! In the meanwhile I left leonArdo running for a few days for testing and thought
I would share a screenshot of some of the action and the associated trades :)

The picture shows the PPC/BTC currency pair and note that were were 2 bots running - a mArgin
maker bot (trading with 26.2122 PPC) and a static ping pong bot (trading with 25 PPC).
It is interesting to observe that the mArgin maker bot can continue trading even though the course falls.  
This initially entails a loss (the parameters of which can be controlled by the user, e.g., don't lose more than
X%) in order to be able to continue trading and make a gain! On the other hand the static ping pong bot
doesn't recover if the course goes outside its range.

Here is the screenshot of leonArdo :)

Send me a copy with the price of LTC!

We are only selling it for BTC I'm afraid. It will be available on open beta release in a couple of weeks!

Thanks for your interest :)

Just a short update from us to let you know that we are hard at work ramping up
to the general release of the beta version of leonArdo!

We have already added some cool new features (timezones, depth chart etc. -
see above in the thread) and are constantly working to improve leonArdo.

Exact details of the release to follow in the next couple of days  :)

What's the price tag before releasing it?

Hi BenAnh,

In the first post our pricing policy for leonArdo is explained. 5 winners of the auction became leonArdo closed beta testers and when we move to the open beta testing phase leonArdo will be priced 1BTC.

Thanks for your interest :)

Hey everyone,

We just wanted to give you an update on what we are currently working on.
During this closed beta phase we realised that most of our customers do not
want the hassle of installing a Virtual Machine in order to install leonArdo if
they are not using Linux. Therefore we have been working hard to get
leonArdo to build on Windows. In parallel we are working on a native version for
Mac OS X (which should prove a little easier  ;)).

It is our hope that once we enter the open beta testing phase (at which
point you guys will be able to get yours hands on a copy of leonArdo!) we
will have native versions of leonArdo for not only Linux, but also for Windows
and Mac OS X too.

We will keep you posted!

Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions for us!

All the best
The leonArdo team

We will hold off on giving a general open beta release date until we have
leonArdo running natively on Windows and Mac OS X. 

But if all goes well we should be still on track for a release in the next couple of
weeks....

Any of you going to Bitcoin 2014 in Amsterdam?

Looks really interesting....

Give a discount on the beta and I will order a copy with LTC!

Thanks for your interest BenAnh!

We are just finalising the details of the open beta release version and can confirm for the first few copies sold there
will be a discount.

If you really want to use LTC to pay for leonArdo, then I am sure we can facilitate that. Out of curiosity, why is that
important for you?

Hey everyone,

We just got leonArdo to work on Mac OS X!!!

Just need to test it a little more but a Mac version will definitely be available for the general open beta release!

Still working on a Windows version....

Check it out

Awesone! ;D

Thanks one4many  :)

I'd like to get a beta copy with LTC;)

Great!

We'll contact you as soon as we have the general open beta release date!

Thanks for your support.

OSX but not linux? boooo

Linux was the first OS we supported.
OSX and Windows are just following :)
Have a look at the video: It shows leonardo running on linux.

Product bashing without researching first .... BOOOO  ;D

lol I most humbly stand corrected!

When will the OSX beta be out?

It's being tested at the moment and will be out in about three weeks as part of the general release (together with the windows version).
If you happen to be at Bitcoin2014 you can also try it out yourself :)
Anyone else going to Amsterdam?

No harm done :)

only to my self esteem.

Video looks pretty slick too by the way!

"Forget about it"!

Glad you liked the video! Thanks and enjoy the holidays :)

If you are going to the Bitcoin 2014 conference in Amsterdam make sure to come and see us! We can show you leonArdo in action and conference attendees can take advantage of a 30% discount on the price!

We hope to see you there!!

What's the price now in beta?

Hey BenAnh,

Thanks for your continued interest. We are hard at work towards the general open beta release and it will be announced very soon!

When we release there will be an offer of a 20% discount on the first 10 copies sold. So keep an eye on the thread  :)

BTW The 20% discount is on a price of 1BTC, which means that the first 10 open beta customers will get
leonArdo for 0.8BTC

PM for details on getting a copy for 0.8 BTC or equivalence of LTC

Never seen this before..


what caught my eye was this quote.


uhhmm c/c++ is not OO .net is and Javanis etc
why did you say that and not use a real OO lang then ?
that comment makes no sense at all.. at least not to programmers lol

sounds ok i guess but would have to admit i'd be a bit paranoid of what kind of dormant code you can put in for future purposes at any point in time.
a quick update and wham community could get ripped off and you could walk and be long gone before anyone has any clue what happened.
Like how coin cloners have done in the past with wallet updates.. and those are open source, which doesn't matter because no one looks at the source.

private trading patterns ?
i'm a cracker i could rape that and hand it out publicly if need be i bet lol

My cracking resume is lengthy.. PC games, Steam, Mikrotik Router OS (Linux), all kinds of shareware apps on windows/linux, Moto Surfboard firmware cracks, cellphone systems..
I'm the kind of guy that keeps scammers on their toes i have done it for ages and have busted prob a 1,000 guys across the globe in the last decade.
Just a heads up.. keep it clean or you'll get caught.. people are ALWAYS watching trust me.. and leakers leak lol

anyway i trade manually i wouldn't feel too comfortable with a front end or bot etc
using the exchanges is sketchy enough as it is with out having a software middle man lol

Although i would suggest doing a free version for the public but require people to make a donation to have advanced access to beta versions.
There is not much more you can do to monetize things really.. any protection system would be cracked so..

First of all: thanks for your feedback. We beg to differ though about C++ and
in any case we said that we developed leonArdo "as an object oriented C++ application"
- which is certainly the case!


Did you read the "Peace of Mind" section of our post? In it we discussed the
fact that the BTC-e website API only allows us to trade on an account.
There is no facility for us to withdraw money through the API.


It is our belief that most people will not trust a hacked version of
such a program over a legitimate copy. Furthermore, if a hacked version
of our software became available, anyone using it would forego all support
and future updates from mArgin.


Thanks for the warning :)


If you like using the BTC-e website then that's great. But some people
want to use a more powerful tool and for them leonArdo is very interesting. I
can only say that once you use leonArdo and have access to it's features
(months of data verses a single day, depth graphs, fully interactive chart,
automatic trading strategies etc.) you will not want to go back to the website!


We chose a different strategy with leonArdo to the one you suggested. But we are
open for ideas and maybe at some point we will release a minimal manual trading only
version for donation as open source. We are also in talks with decentralized exchanges,
which also would be a lot happier with leonArdo being open source (for obvious reasons :)).

Thanks for keeping an eye on our new project for the sake of the community
and have a nice day!

Just wanted to let you know that we made big progress with the windows version of leonArdo today  :)

More details to follow soon!

Check out the new look we gave leonArdo!

I would be a bit embarrassed to continue posting teaser screenshots.

You said in the first post it would be out March 29th (a few short weeks from March 8th).

It's now been a looong 7 weeks and still nothing, not even a set launch date.

That's as bad as pre-ordered ASIC hardware.

Push a public release of what you have, and start selling that wizbang software.  I personally can't wait to kick the tires!

Ehm. No, actually it's not :).
Everyone who paid (during the auction) already has it.
So no pre-ordering here.


Yes, we are also keen to release it. At the moment we are still working on the windows port.
It's working already, but is still in testing.

Sorry to keep you waiting. We will hurry :)

On what platform (Linux,Win,OSX) would you use leonardo, btw?

Windows.

Cool. As we said, we already have a Windows version running and are currently testing it.

We'll keep you updated!

Only 2 and a half weeks to go to the Bitcoin 2014 conference in Amsterdam! We are getting excited!

Hope to see some of you there. Who's going?

We will have a stand in the exhibition hall so come and see us if you are there...

Just a quick update from us! We are busily preparing for the Bitcoin 2014 conference in Amsterdam next week.

On top of that we are just ready with a Windows version of leonArdo which means it will be available for all
major operating systems.

Thanks for your patience!

Thanks for the updates LeonArdo!

Ready to get a beta copy, already PM'ed!

You are welcome Chang Hum!

We are heading to the Bitcoin 2014 conference in Amsterdam and will be set up at booth 7 on the 1st Floor of the PTA (Main Deck). If you are going
please come and see us  :)

If you want to go but haven't registered yet, pm us and we can give you a promo code for 25% off the cost of registration!

how much are the tickets and is there a website? may see if i can get some cheap flights

Hey mafia,

Here is the conference website: http://bitcoin2014.com/

Tickets are pricey enough at 395 EUR for standard registration. Let us know if you are booking and we'll send you the promo code.

All the best

Any update?

Sorry we have been so quiet lately, but we have been hard at work. We were at the Bitcoin 2014 conference in Amsterdam a couple of weeks ago and it went really well. Lots of interest in leonArdo!

We will be announcing some nice developments soon, but we wanted to say that leonArdo will go on open beta release by the end of next week. Existing customers will be
contacted before that with details of the Windows version of leonArdo. When we release it will be available for Windows, Mac and Linux!

All the best
leonArdo guys

Hey

Sent you a PM in regards to the windows version. Let me know when you receive!
thanks

So whats the differences from C.A.T?

Leonardo you've completely missed the dates you promised and this has been dragging on quite a while now, can we have a realistic update and if for unforseen circumstances you're experiencing extended delays is a refund possible?

Yes. Sorry about that Chang Hum and everyone else. Actually, we initially got delayed due to the bitcoin conference and then the fact that it was such a success for us extended the delay for our windows release. But we are ready now and I will pm you with more details.

Once again thank you guys for your patience, but we are back now and looking forward to hearing how you like leonArdo!

All the best,
Jonathan

Hey Statdude,

I recommend you take a look at the video in our first post to get an impression of what leonArdo is. We have spent a lot of effort building a professional trading terminal that allows intuitive interaction with the GUI. Drag and drop orders. Visualise nearly 6 months of historical data. Drag the chart left to reveal the depth chart. Run automatic trading strategies. Actually we made a new video for the Bitcoin 2014 conference and you can check it out here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bm1G_Vlzq9k#t=31

There is no commentary, but I think you can see the possibilities. Since shooting this we have added some more new features that we can't wait for you guys to get to try out.

Our existing customers will be getting their windows versions over the next few days and then we will announce a general release date.

Sorry for being a bit quiet lately, but we have set up a company now as we wanted to do this right. We are back!

All the best,
The leonArdo guys

Check out our new custom made sliders which make placing limit orders easy :)

What's new and when's the general release?

Hey BenAnh,

We have a number of new features such as new way you can place limit orders shown above, a new ruler that can be brought up by clicking and dragging in the chart which gives information regarding the effective gain you can expect should you place an order at a particular price, plus VWAP pricing to name a few...

And you can get it straight away. Its available for Windows, Mac and Linux right now!

All the best,
The leonArdo guys

Whats the timeline for new exchanges?

We will start a poll to see which exchange people would like us to support next.

One of the reasons we were quiet for a while was that we were busy setting up our company. We are determined to
build the best bitcoin trading experience possible and have a lot of ideas for the future of where we want to take leonArdo!

Check out our website here: http://www.marginsoftware.de/ (http://www.marginsoftware.de/)

It looks like a two horse race thus far between Cryptsy and Poloniex for the exchange leonArdo will support next.

Make sure to vote over on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=706537.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=706537.0) if you haven't already done so  :)

Can you explain what is shown in the GUI window:

"Trading Window" 55% what is this?

Eff Margin* What is this?

Min Eff margn what is this?

Also, does your tool automatically move/adjust your order to be the best on the market, ignoring the first X btc if needed (sometimes not good to beat the most aggressive 0.1 btc or so in orders)?

How does the tool decide to place where the orders go?

Can you post a link or PM  me your full documentation?

Hey Statdude,

Thanks for your questions!

I am assuming you are looking at the image of our GUI in the first post. leonArdo allows you to set the most important trading parameters for a particular automatic trading algorithm by clicking directly into the chart data.

The Trading Window is the blue area in the chart. This is the amount of historical data taken into consideration by the algorithm and is set by the user by dragging backwards in time in the chart. The red area inside this, for this particular example, takes up 55% of the Trading Window. This represents the buy and sell margins and can be set by adjusting the position of the red area top and bottom lines.

The Eff Margin* parameter falls out from the movement described above. This is the effective gain you can achieve should a buy/sell or sell/buy cycle get executed. The reason there is an * is that it is based on the current parameters but subject to change should the market situation change.

The Min Eff margin gives the user the opportunity to allow an automatic trading algorithm to continue trading by adapting to the new situation in the market. This is not possible with the static ping pong bot that leonArdo also supports. For that bot the buy and sell prices are fixed and if the price moves away from those then the bot does not react. The mArgin maker bot can, if the user wants it to, take a small loss in order to continue trading. The amount that you are willing to lose is set by this parameter.

Could you please clarify this question "Also, does your tool automatically move/adjust your order to be the best on the market, ignoring the first X btc if needed (sometimes not good to beat the most aggressive 0.1 btc or so in orders)? ". Am not sure what you mean here :)

Actually we haven't written a manual for leonArdo. It is designed in such a way that you do not need one! All of the questions you had for me are answered by the program in the form of informative mouse over tooltips!!

Watching the video can really help to let you see what the different features are: http://youtu.be/jjLbJuUsp0A (http://youtu.be/jjLbJuUsp0A)

Thanks again for your questions. Its quite late here now so I will only be able to get back to you in the morning!

The race is on and Cryptsy and Poloniex are still leading. But Bittrex has closed the gap!

Don't forget to vote here:   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=706537.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=706537.0)

Wanted to share an image of leonArdo running on my Macbook tonight. Some nice trades made by our mArgin maker bot.

Don't forget that leonArdo is available for Windows, Mac and Linux.

CCEDK.com out in front with 26 Votes with Nxt Multigateway in second place on 18 Votes.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=706537.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=706537.0)

interested in a MAC OSX version, please check PM

leonArdo will be available with support for Bitstamp in the next couple of days :)

This was exactly what I was looking for, easy to use, the interface is fantastic.

Ill certainly be adding more Markets as they become available.

Thanks Doff!

Really glad you like leonArdo  :)

As for those new markets. We were having a little difficulty with data collection through the Bitstamp API - but think we have solved it now. We will make an announcement shortly.

Hey everyone,

We added Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) indicators in leonArdo. We are really happy with the outcome. Take a look!

Very nice!

I hope some more people will vote for Poloniex and Bittrex.

Thanks Shrikez. Glad you like it :)

I suppose I'd have already bought it if there were Poloniex/Bittrex support. As for now these are the exchanges with the highest volumes in the coins that interest me.

We're working on it! But we hear you. Actually, we have spent a lot of time on the interface and believe that its by far the best experience you can have while trading
digital currencies. We will be starting to roll out more exchanges on a more regular basis soon and when we have implemented support for Poloniex and Bittrex we
will give you a shout! Thanks for your interest in leonArdo!

What exchanges now supported?

Hey Statdude,

We support BTC-e and Bitstamp. But rest assured more will be added soon.

We've been busy making sure leonArdo is the best digital currency trading experience you can have. We are really pleased with the results and will
start ramping up the addition of more markets very soon.

Thanks again for your interest!

All the best,
leonArdo guys

has anyone tried running this on a raspberry pi?

Should add BitFinex and Coin.mx!

Hello, seems to be a very interesting project. I would like to ask if there is any backtest engine so we can setup and compare different types of strategies based on previous data

No, not yet. But it is something we have thought about and is on our radar.

Thanks for your interest!

Nice hearing from you again BenAnh.

Thanks for your suggestions.

So nice when your order goes through at the tip of the spike!

Hey,

Just wanted to let you know that we have added a slider to the mArgin maker automatic strategy. The slider, already available for
limit orders and the ping pong strategy, is a really cool feature. It adapts as you move the buy and sell margins in the strategy
or as new funds become available and ensures you cannot place an invalid order.

We really enjoyed using it during tests and wanted to share it with you!

The leonArdo guys

Hey everyone,

FYI, we will be launching a new website in a few days which we hope you like. Details will be announced here.

Our introduction price of 0.5 BTC + 1 market still holds and you can add a second market for just 0.2 BTC more.

All the best from the
leonArdo guys

Who thinks bitcoin will bounce right back? Visualise your gain with leonArdo's ruler (7%).

Hey there, so this bot doesn't work on bittrex? Only btce and bitstamp? Any plans for future implementation of bittrex? And if so how far away it is?

Hey,

Yes, we have plans to roll out lots of new exchanges including bittrex. No exact date yet, but soon.

Thanks for your interest!

Hey everyone,

We have been very hard at work improving leonArdo and we wanted to share some of the new features that have been added in the last month or so:

1.  A new encryption mechanism on the login screen to keep your credentials safe
2.  Added a certificate so you are not presented with a warning message message when installing leonArdo on Windows
3.  Network connection indicator and better recovery should the network connection go down or a laptop is put to sleep
4.  Overhaul of icon buttons and tabs for a cleaner design
5.  Nearly 3 years of historical data for main currency pairs
6.  New indicator infrastructure (little flag button on top of the chart)
7.  VWAP and VWAP moving average indicators
8.  Relative time indicator
9.  More consistent design between the mArgin maker strategy and the Ping Pong strategy
10. Login credential checking has been substantially improved
11. Copying data/orders from tables to the clipboard is now possible
12. Bug fixes

All the best
The leonArdo guys

Are you adding the support for Bittrex and Poloniex. I would be interested in buying but if it is only for the main BTC exchanges then it doesn't make much sense for me to buy it.

It would be nice if there were a a support for cryptsy also, upon the whole looks very interesting, will keep an eye on this.

Thanks BootstrapCoinDev and MalboroMan36 for your interest in leonArdo!

We will add more exchanges soon.

Just to let you know that we have re-worked leonArdo's core to allow easy addition of new exchanges, so we really will be adding more exchanges soon! Already started testing the next one.....

Just wanted to say thanks to the Dev on LeonArdo for the great support on this software, I am genuinely getting instant  bug  fixes and change requests to LeonArdo! never more than 24 hours.

The best part is, without much trading knowledge (being a beginner at trading) I am seeing good profits with very little input with this software. 

My strategy has been pretty much the same for about a month now and I am seeing constant gains. Hopefully my portfolio will grow soon and expect bigger daily profits.

My trades for the last few days:

Type   Price           Time
buy   369.05   12/04/2014 09:04

I have another Bitcoin trading bot and I have to say I much prefer LeonArdo. - Keep up the good work!

You are most welcome mafia. Really glad you like leonArdo so much!

No Problem, Thanks for the support and a bot which works :)

I've been running leonArdo 24/7 for the last week and I just want to give a BIG thank you to Jonathan and the leonArdo team for making such a wonderful product. I had a few hiccups getting my latest version registered after I accidentally deleted my API key from btc-e, but support from Jonathan was first rate.

I've never used a trading bot before, and I've got a lot to learn, but my impressions of leonArdo are ALL good. Software is fast & stable, and the gui design is very slick. Overall I'm very happy, and having a lot of fun trading now (which I always found too time consuming previously to do on any serious level). Knowing that I have a few different bots setup working for me 24/7 is cool!

My only real suggestion is to maybe add a few 'power' tips on trading strategies and bot setup, like how many bots should you spread your funds over for the same trading pair, complementary settings between different bots to max profits, how far apart to set the ping-pong bid/ask - stuff to help novice traders like me get up to 'pro' standard as fast as possible.

Using leonArdo is easy, but I guess learning how to setup effective bots takes knowledge & experience, and some tips on strategies in this thread would be much appreciated!

TL,DR - leonArdo is a great product, support is excellent

Thanks for the great review of leonArdo MadCow!

We would really like to provide the type of 'power' tips you asked for, but unfortunately we are not in a position by which we can, as a company, give trading advice. We have created a real company, mArgin UG, which is registered in Germany and we are very serious about complying with all the appropriate rules and regulations governing our company's status. Having consulted our lawyer, he confirmed that one of those rules is that we cannot give such advice. We can only sell a tool by which others can make their own decisions in terms of trading. Otherwise we are effectively doing the job of a financial advisor, which currently our company is not registered to do. As we continue to grow we will investigate ways to allow us provide such a service as we would really like to help our customers, especially those who are new to trading, get the absolute most out of leonArdo. Until that point we can only continue to make what we think is the best, most intuitive, interface for Crypto currency trading even better.

We are aware of the fact that this sounds a bit like a cop-out , but the legal situation is very strict on this point, so much so that we are actually not even allowed to suggest a "good" currency pair to trade with. However, we promise to continue working together with our layer to provide the best tutorial and advice possible that gets as close to the border of what is legally allowable without actually crossing it.

Of course the fact that we cannot explicitly give advice does not mean that others cannot share their experiences here :)

Merry Christmas everyone!

Crazy stuff with the bitcoin price development. We hope you guys are holding up well. The upside to such a low price is that leonArdo is priced in BTC and that means you can get your copy for the cheapest price ever :)

leonArdo's introductory price of 0.5 BTC still holds!

The leonArdo guys

Great software !

Thanks unlock.mk!

Hey everyone,

Its an exciting time for us. We have been hard at work improving leonArdo and adding support for 2 new markets. Details to follow very soon.

I just wanted to take a minute to tell you about some of the features of leonArdo you might not know about:

* All API key pairs can be encrypted and password protected
* It is possible to run multiple strategies on a single currency pair! This means you can run our ping pong strategy and our more advanced mArgin maker strategy on the same currency pair. It is even possible to run multiple same strategies, so for example you can have 3 mArgin maker strategies each with different parameter settings (low frequency, high frequency etc.) and 3 ping pong strategies with different buy and sell prices.
* leonArdo provides a fully interactive GUI. It is great to be able to drag your order just above a wall to ensure it goes through. Or visualise the gain you made on the last cycle directly in the chart.
* leonArdo's ruler feature allows you to accurately place your next order to ensure a gain of X% after exchange fees are taken.
* leonArdo will automatically recover should you temporally lose a network connection or put your computer to sleep. After the connection is resumed, it will re-download all trades and fill in any gaps that had appeared in the chart! All strategies will also resume automatically :)
* Using leonArdo's sliders ensures you never place an incorrect order. It makes it impossible to sell more than you have or buy more than you can afford.
* A couple of clicks allows you to add VWAP lines or the latest VWAP price to the chart.
* leonArdo has more than 3 years historical data available in the chart for selected currency pairs.

Enjoy the weekend!

The leonArdo guys




   

Hey everyone,

We have an issue with our database collection process for bitstamp. This means that you will see a couple of small gaps in the data (of approximately 2 hrs). We are currently fixing this and will let you know when it is up and running again.

You can still continue to trade using leonArdo. The only effect is that you will see a small gap in the history chart.

Best
The leonArdo guys

Issue has been fixed. Old gaps are still there, but will be closed tomorrow. For now the data collection is running properly again!

Best wishes
The leonArdo guys

Can we expect BitTrex and other altcoins to be added in Leonardo ?

We have implemented Bter already and testing it atm. But we want to test it thoroughly before we release it. 
We are also working on other exchanges ;).

That's good news, waiting...

btw: we have a new website if you find this thread to confusing :) -> http://marginsoftware.de/

We will also be at the P2P Financial Systems 2015 workshop in Frankfurt, Germany this Thursday.
Just in case someone wants to chat.

Really enjoying the P2P Financial Systems 2015 workshop in Frankfurt, Germany. A nice mix of Bankers and Cryptocurrency enthusiasts.

Andreas Antonopoulos gave a great talk this morning. If you are interested we are live twitting from the event (@mArginsoftware) and there is a live stream here: youtu.be/4uEhnTToqIc  

All the best  
The leonArdo guys

leonArdo beta 1.4.0 released

We have been very busy improving leonArdo and all registered customers have received a link to the newest version!

Release notes

• Total restructuring of the mArgin maker strategy
    - Partial orders are handled explicitly now should an order need to be replaced due to max order age being reached
    - The Min. effective margin is now applied to sell/buy cycles and not only buy/sell cycles
    - In a market specific manner the minimum tradable amount is set to ensure the strategy can continue trading after the subtraction of fees
    - Logic has been improved
• leonArdo will automatically restart trading after a network outage now (no more coming back to a dialog waiting for your input :))
• Notifications tab updated to allow entries to be stored in a client database. To remove notifications simply select all and click 'x'  or click the tick you if want them to remain but not show as a number in the notifications icon
• Improved display of numeric values for better readability. For example, hover over a value in the slider and the full precision will appear as a tooltip
• The "Total" label in the top left corner of the volume chart now also provides an estimate of the resulting volume in the other currency. For example: 2877.8 BTC [641.58k USD]
• When you hover your mouse in a within the depth-chart for more than 2 secs, an estimate of the resulting amount in the other currency is provided
• Some more changes under the hood
    - Improved thread safety when manually adapting strategy orders
    - Adapted internal handling of all price and amount values for more accuracy
    - Added new framework for faster integration of new markets (BTER and Bitfinex are already in the testing phase)
• several smaller bug-fixes

Best wishes,
The leonArdo guys

You should put Leonardo Dicaprio's face on the logo to make it more attractive.

Great idea. We'll get to work on it :)

When will you add Bittrex?

Thats what im waiting for.

Thanks for your interest.

We are nearly finished with bter and bitfinex and will be releasing them soon. Bittrex is also on our radar, so stay tuned :)

Clearly not the right choice for us to spend time implementing support for bter given what has happened. Ah well, looks like bitfinex will be next for us now.

Hope you guys didn't get burned too badly...

Hi again.

If I use your mArgin strategy or Ping/Pong what happens when the market goes outside those values?

As in if I set it to trade at $260/$265 and the market either falls below or rises above this, does the bot just sit there waiting till I change the values?

Hi SavellM,

It depends :)

If you use the Static Ping Pong strategy you set a buy and a sell price and these remain fixed. However, if you use the mArgin maker strategy, it has a Max. order age parameter you can set which determines lifetime of an order before it is replaced. Once this expires the strategy will take the current market statistics (including your chosen buy and sell margins) and place a new order. To control the amount of gain you want to achieve you can set the Minimum effective margin [%] parameter. E.g. setting it to 1.0% limits the strategy to only placing orders that will result in an effective gain (after the subtraction of exchange fees) of 1.0%.

Does that answer your question?

All the best
The leonArdo guys

A big announcement coming from us in the next week or two. The fruits of our hard work will be revealed soon....

Good works guys! Cant wait for the announcement! :)

 Great, I'm excited to know also :)

New leonArdo version available!

There is a new leonArdo version available for all existing users.

We also have made updating super easy. Just fire up leonArdo and you will see an update available! link on the login page. Simply
click on that link and you will be brought to our webpage where you can download the particular flavour of leonArdo (Windows, Mac or Linux)
you want.

There are some other minor stability and GUI improvements that we are sure you will like.

Hi there,

i just found your thread here.


Which exchanges are supported yet? I read sth. about bittrex,is it implemented yet?
How are my passwords stored? Are they stored local or on your server? Is there any connection to/from your server to the software?


I am interested in your software, would be pleased receiving an answer from you


To all the users/testers: Is this a valid software?

I can vouch this is valid software, instant support and no issues from the developers!

leonArdo@margin - you can ignore my last message, i have figured out the problem.

+1 ... Software and Dev's are great. Well worth the money.

    one4many

"0.5 BTC for leonArdo with support for BTC-e or Bitstamp,
or if you have already purchased a copy of leonArdo then you can
add markets at a price of 0.2 BTC per market."

That's kinda ludacris.

Hey testbug,

sorry for the delay, but we are working on a new release and an announcement which is due soon.

Btc-e and Bitstamp are available right now. Bter and Poloniex are (partly) implemented and in internal testing phase.

If you want, your password is just kept in your local memory. If you do not want to enter it at each start up, you can store it in an encrypted container on your local harddisk.
This functionality is already integrated and is available with a click.
We just serve history data for convience. If that scares you you can just block the ip or we build a custom version for you, but it really is nice to use that data ;)
The software talks directly to the exchange API.

sorry again, but we are quite busy right now. If you like we are also available for a skype call.
For more information just have a look at our webpage: http://marginsoftware.de
If our response time on the forums is slow just drop us a message at contact@marginsoftware.de ;-)

This looks very interesting.

I will wait to see the next update before I make a purchase.

Thanks for your interest Jude!

We posted a new thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1078323.0 and in it are details on how to get your hands on a free demo paper trading version of leonArdo. Or you can just go to our website (http://www.marginsoftware.de/) and download a copy. That means you can try it out before you have to decide whether to buy it!

Can it trade on the nxt Asset exchange?

I'm waiting for the right price to buy the coin.

Not yet, but we are investigating support for decentralised exchanges like the nxt Asset exchange.

In the meantime if you would like to try a free demo version of leonArdo we posted a thread telling you how here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1076991.0

Or you can just go to our website (http://www.marginsoftware.de/) and download a copy.

Hi! I just downloaded the demo and noticed a scroll bug (Mac version). No matter which way I scroll it zooms out. The only way to reset is to click on one of the timeframe buttons.

Hi Dadj,

You are right! I use a mouse with a click wheel and that supports zooming in and out. We need to take a look at fixing that for a Mac trackpad. Thanks for the tip.

For now the solution you found is a good one. Just click on one of the time frame buttons. If you right click (using the trackpad) and horizontally slide your finger to the left you can pull out the price aligned depth chart.

The leonArdo guys

I like where this product is going.

Timely and informative responses from the people within the company.

Even peaceful coexistence between LeonArdo and Sampey (Creator of C. A. T),  C. A. T I still use to this day.

Keep up the good work. As soon as leonArdo has an API for an exchange I use I will purchase it. 

Thanks a lot for your comment Jude. It's really appreciated :)

nice software, im interest to try this platform
Can you mention the advantages of this software compared to other software?

Hey Stingery64,

Can you give us some more information? What flavour of Windows are you running? Is it XP? At what point do you get this message?

Thanks,
Jonathan

yes xp sp3
when i open it,

Hi Stingery64,

We found the issue. But fixing it will take a bit of time. Actually leonArdo was built to only support Win 7 onwards (it also runs on OSX and Linux). We didn't think there were any XP users left :)

So in order to try to fix it we have to get our hands on an XP version first.

For now have you considered a switch to a newer version of Windows?

We will get back to you as soon as we can with an update.

Thanks for your interest in leonArdo and sorry for the inconvenience.

All the best,
The leonArdo guys

Hey dHe_zHiq,

Thanks for your interest in leonArdo!

The main difference between leonArdo and other bitcoin trading platforms is that it is a C++ desktop application. This makes interacting with it a pleasure. It has been built from the ground up with an emphasis on graphical interactions so for example you can drag limit orders (or bot orders) to new prices, maybe to a price which places your order just beyond a wall so that it has a better chance of getting executed. The order book and wall are also visualised in a price aligned depth chart. And as you drag the order you receive visual updates as to the effect this will have on the gain or reduction in gain you will make.

We take full advantage of the APIs from the exchanges we support and deliver you all the relevant information concerning your account in the unique interface that is leonArdo. This means for example that maybe Bitstamp is offering you exchange fee free trading for this month - if that is the case then leonArdo will receive this info and incorporate it into the visualisation of the gain you can expect to make in a trading cycle for the parameters you have set in your bot.

There are many more features (VWAP, 4 years historical data, ruler, timezones, visualised cycle gains etc.) that you can check out on our website. Just go to www.marginsoftware.de (http://www.marginsoftware.de) and click on Tutorial.

Last but not least we have set up a real company in Germany and are here for the long haul. More exchanges will be added and we are also planning on releasing an API for leonArdo which will allow anyone to write there own automatic trading strategy and run it on leonArdo. Even sell it to others if you like :) And I forgot to mention that leonArdo comes bundled with two algo trading strategies!

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

All the best,
The leonArdo guys

does this program allow backtesting?
also, what are the strategies ?

leonArdo doesn't allow backtesting yet, but its on our todo list.

It comes bundled with two strategies. A simple Ping Pong strategy that allows you set a static buy and sell price. And a more advanced mArgin maker strategy that is more dynamic and will adapt to changing market conditions.

The best way to check them out is to try the demo, but I know you can't right now as you are running XP. We'll get back to you on that soon!

 

any chance you guys will open up to more exchanges in the near future? i am particularly interested in cryptsy.. i enjoy the wide range of altcoins they have to trade..
also, if i understand correctly the 1btc purchase option would include all future exchanges?

thanks :)

Hey tarzan2,

Yes! We are currently implementing support for more exchanges. Bitfinex, bter, Poloniex and OKCoin are in the works and more will follow.

And yes, the 1 BTC offer entitles you to all other markets we release.

Thanks for your interest!

All the best,
Jonathan

Check it out. Some nice trades made by leonArdo's mArgin maker automatic trading strategy.

The orange triangles in the chart are all sells and the blues are buys. Notice how the strategy updated the margin between buys and sells by incorporating the trading history...

Hi all, I would like to thanks Jonathan and mArgin Software people for the impressive and effective support: I have suggested them some small mods and they have immediately replied with new releases, testing them until perfection. I am very impressed by their immediate reaction. I have a software development company and know perfectly what imply to be so responsive and effective. Thank you, Jonathan, indeed :-)

Thanks a lot alex! It is very much appreciated!

Hey guys,

We added Coindesk and CryptoNews RSS feeds to leonArdo! They appear right in the chart and are a really handy way to see what has recently happened in the bitcoin world while you trade. Check them out:

I really like the software. It is very useful and handy. It has a nice and simple interface and it actually helps you to maintain your trading strategy.

Thanks Blackpaw! Really glad you like it.

Once you have used leonArdo, you cannot go back to simple web interfaces...

Great development with the bitcoin price. And great opportunities to trade!

We just implemented support for dynamically allowing both new currency pairs to be loaded at runtime and even markets too! Really looking forward to getting that into the hands of our customers. You are going to love it!

good job !

Good job guys! Will download the new version and give it a whirl soon!

is it the same impertinence like it is with C.A.T. ?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=507103.0

if I buy it with BTC-e enabled I have to pay a second time for the API if BTC-e lost the API keys like it was this year in spring?
(this year on BTC-e disappeared all API keys due to a mistake of BTC-e)
thx

In case of a well known problem - like in this case - we don't let our users down.
All the affected users that contacted us, got their new key registered for no cost.

any chance for free trial before buy?

you can just download a paper trading version for free on the website :)

Hey everyone,

Made great progress with Poloniex today! Hoping to release it by early next week!

All the best,
The leonArdo guys

Hey

loving the RSS feeds! Is there a way to add more than one feed to a chart?

Hey mafia,

Glad you like them :)

Yes, you can add more by simply clicking on the + button a second time after selecting your first RSS Feed. You can give different feeds different colours too.

All the best,
the leonArdo guys

I see it now

thanks!

The sale has ended. Welcome to all our new customers!

The leonArdo guys

Are you planning to keep adding new exhanges ?
Are you supporting mutliple fiat currencies (e.g. USD, EUR. etc.) ?

Yes. The first new exchange will be Poloniex, which will be released perhaps as early as next week :) And yes, leonArdo supports whatever currencies the exchanges' offer.

Hope that helps!

Nice price development and nice work by leonArdo's mArgin maker bot :)

I have x LTC on Bitfinex and in leonArdo Balance is allways 0
(tried with exchange, trading, deposit account)
thx

Hi ewibit,

It looks like you might not have checked the wallet checkbox when you set up your API key.

Can you check that?

Thanks,
Jonathan

new API on the way...

If the Chinese will make listing the coins, how high pictures we can see? The triple double... the moon? :)

leonArdo version 2.1.0 released!

What's new?

• Poloniex support added
• Filter capability added to the dynamic adding of currency pairs widget
• Filter capability added to the funds widget
• Partially filled orders visualized with a progress bar in the active orders table
• Clicking into the order book dynamically sets the amount and price for next order
• Smaller bugfixes

Existing customers can simply click on the "update available" link on the leonArdo login screen and download this version.

How can you get your copy?
Just go to the website (http://www.marginsoftware.de/) and click through to our Products section.
You can also download a demo version of leonArdo from the website to try it out before you buy it.

I have a few orders open with my current Leon@rdo. Do I need to close these trades before I upgrade?

No need to close the orders. They are on the exchange. Just close leonArdo and download the latest version. No need to uninstall your old version of leonArdo either. Just install the new one over it!

Upgrade installed!

My Margin Maker strategy is stopped , is there a way to link my existing trade?

Or should I leave this order and start a new Margin Maker?

If mArgin maker is suspended you can simply click on it and re-start it. 

Another option is of course to create a new mArgin maker. You could cancel your existing order and set up mArgin maker to replace it in the same place. But you don't have to cancel the order :)

Great that you got the new version! The filters on the currency pairs and funds are so handy. Especially when using an exchange like Poloniex which has so many currencies...

leonArdo now supports....

If you have any other questions, let us know.

A good day for bitcoin :) The bounce back...

leonArdo@margin
Charts , order book  and market trade history are slowly refreshing, once in ~ 2-9 seconds. Is it a demo markets limitation only?

2-9 seconds sounds pretty longish. Normally it should be way faster.

But we are using pull APIs (as some streaming API's are unreliable) and most exchanges have restrictions on the number of calls per minute/hour (call quotas). However, when you place/cancel orders on leonArdo these are directly sent to the market and this is usually even faster  than if you were to use the exchange websites. This is especially the case if you place many orders/cancels in quick succession.

We have made a start on investigating push API problems and implementing fixes for these to support e.g. web sockets. Then the chart will be updated even faster.

leonArdo@margin
Thanks for the explanations. Will be waiting for push API implementation.

Suggestions for the next versions:
1. Price sound alarms
2. Order book prices grouping by configurable steps
3. Market depth saves visibility state in the charts
4. 1 min candles
5. Order book and market trade history displayed simultaneously

Thanks for the nice suggestions!

Welcome to all our new customers! We had a great reaction and look forward to improving leonArdo over the months and years ahead.

To make leonArdo as affordable as possible we have decided on a new pricing scheme and therefore we are happy to announce that going forward leonArdo costs just $89 compared to the old price of 0.5 BTC.

We have been releasing new markets lately at a rate of one a month and we intend to keep up the pace. As you can see from the above post, next up is Bittrex, C-Cex and then Kraken.

Let us know which market you would like to see supported!

We are also looking into adding support for margin trading. Is this something you guys would like to have?

And remember, leonArdo's new price is just $89!

All the best,
The leonArdo guys

I just ordered leonArdo to play with on Polo.  I'll let you guys know how it goes  ;D

Thanks tripppn!

Just mailed you. We are building your version and will send you a link in the next hour.

The leonArdo guys

Got it and I'm already up and running.  Very smooth transaction and so far the interface is very easy to understand.  Now lets see if it makes any money.   ;D

We've been working hard adding new features to leonArdo. We expect to release a new version in the next week or two and are looking forward to hearing back from you guys as to how you like them!

If there is anything you would like to see added, whether a feature or a market, let us know :)

All the best,
The leonArdo guys

Just wanted to post an update of how it's going.  So far so good.  It's working great.  I do notice when I wake up and get home from work some of my strategies have stopped but that may be my computer or just 8 strait hours of running things can happen.  Basically it does require a bit of babysitting but not bad.  It's not a 100% set it and forget it.

I've had good days and bad days but I'm certainly up in the long run.  I keep my buys/sells in the .05 - .1 btc range so I'm not playing with big money.

I love the marginmaker strategy but I would love to see a smart ping pong added in addition to marginmaker.  Where it tries to put buys and sells toward the top of the bid or ask book and adjusts regularly when people stack orders on top of you.  Maybe let you set it so you keep your orders in the top .5 btc of the book for example. 

One of my strategies just quit on me.  Looks like it made a successful buy and something went wrong when it tried to put in the sell that killed the strategy.  I also get the (something like)"Active order. Would you like to cancel" window that pops up like I manually stopped the strategy.

All in all though I put my stamp of approval on this.  Great work devs.  Keep up the good work.

As a feature, I'd like trailing stops as an option for orders.

As market, Vaultoro.

Thanks for your positive review!

Coming back to strategies that have stopped is never good. As long as the network connection is sound and your computer doesn't go to sleep, everything should be okay. Even when a connection is poor, in most cases leonArdo will recover - first suspending the strategy when the connection goes down, and then resuming when the connection is back up again. But, we agree that there are still some exceptional cases in which a strategy will stop for what seems like no good reason at all. If it happens again please send us the log file for the particular currency pair in the .leonArdo folder and we will try to figure out why exactly it has happened.

There is one known issue which occurs given the way exchange fees are taken. If you start buying the minimum amount possible, say 0.01 BTC, you will not receive 0.01 BTC as the fees are taking from this amount. This means you might only receive 0.0098 BTC. Now the strategy will try to place a sell order for 0.0098 BTC and it will fail as it's lower than the minimum allowed. We are looking into a fix for this which might be simply reducing the min amount you can start a bot with so that this doesn't occur in the future. The nice thing about the sliders we have created is that they make it easy to choose min and max amounts so we want this experience to continue to be a useful one.

Good idea about the dynamic ping pong strategy. Such a strategy is on our list...

All the best and thanks again :)

the ping pong strategy is this what C.A.T. makes, but  C.A.T. has no server for history and no RSI, MACD etc.
so you can win or loose if you are in the right or wrong direction
but
with leonArdo we have a server with history and so it is possible not to make only a simple ping pong, it can be a enhanced ping pong in the right direction -> up or down as showed somewhere here with crossing EMA
like this was
MtGox MACD/EMA trading bot (Tobli)
or
chrome butter-bot
 :)

I will certainly send you a log file next time.


Could it be caused by the previous buy being less then what the program wants for the next sell?  Lets say I have it running at 10 XMR. After a couple cycles and fees the buy is only 9.9?  Wait, that doesn't make sense unless I ran out of BTC on my account.  There might be something there though. 
Just a thought.

So here's my buy/sell graph on ETH for the past 24 hours:

https://i.imgur.com/H2MF6uU.png?1

As you can see ETH had a big drop but during that drop it had some nice upswings that could have been taken advantage of as well as a real nice recovery that was missed.

I understand that the program is trying not take a loss but there is money to be made on the way down if it was willing to take a loss to get them.  Not to mention a real sweet recovery that was missed. 

I set my stat interval to 1 hour in an attempt to keep my buys/sells really tight but there were missed opportunities in this case.  If I want the bot to follow down swings do I need to adjust the min effective margin setting to (lets say) -10?

I bring this up in an effort to learn your program better, not to complain by any means.  I'm a total newb to running a bot.    :D

 

Another thing...

https://i.imgur.com/ONpx10R.png

Here's a case where the bot refused to buy for more then it sold for last.  Again, I realize what the program is trying to do but in this case it missed a real nice upswing.

Hi trippin,

>>  If I want the bot to follow down swings do I need to adjust the min effective margin setting to (lets say) -10?

Yes! If you want the bot to follow swings (either up or down) that means you have to be willing to take a loss in order to make a future gain and keep trading in the new price region. However, we cannot tell you what to set the Min Effective Margin to. It depends on too many factors.

You can practice, testing out the different parameters, using the paper trading version of leonArdo before risking your funds :)

The bot refused to buy because the min effective margin was set not to make a loss.

Therefore, the bot did exactly what you told it to do.

Once again, I suggest trying out different combinations of parameters using the paper trading version. There are a number of parameters that you can adjust and play with to ensure swings you want to catch are not missed. But remember this has an associated inherent risk. If for example you accept a 1% loss on a down swing and the course doesn't swing back up, you have lost 1%. No bot can avoid that...

All the best,
The leonArdo guys

I understand completely the bot is only as effective as I tell it to be.  I set my loss margin to -10 and it seems to be working the way I want it to.  I don't risk much on my trades so I'm not that worried about down swings as long as it keeps trading.  No trading is boring   ;)  I love all the little up and down arrows of filled orders.

Exactly! Thanks for your input ewibit.

so with the way I understand this thread, there is a big possibility that this platform will help you understand the flow of the market? and because this guide you will earned? good job to you sir leonArdo, would you mine? how much is the minimum investment that i need to start trading and using your system?

Once you buy the software the minimum investment it determined by the exchange you use.  Usually very very low.

Looks really nice from some pictures I guess I'll think about buying it.

Thanks, if you have any other questions let us know. :)

Will this run on Linux?

Can it be run remotely in a server/client configuration?

It is open-source?

Yes

Yes ... If you can export X.

No

@  leonArdo@margin - Hi! Do You planned to add yobit.net?  ::)

Nice question. do you have any future plan to add yobit? I'm almost done with my research in coming days going to try your system.

Up next from us are Bittrex, C-Cex and Kraken. We will look into yobit for sure :)

The leonArdo guys

please first Kraken  ;) :) :)

We're working on it :)

i cant see okcoin btc/cny on list , it is not supported on demo or you didnt add cny market ?

Looks like you need a bank account in China to be able to trade CNY markets on OKCoin...

no you dont need.

You are right! Sorry about that.

But OKCoin have two different logins: one for USD and one for CNY. That means we probably have to treat OKCoin as two different markets with their own API keys etc. We are checking it out and will get back to you.

All the best,
The leonArdo guys

Hi to everybody

i'm not a leonArdo user , but 2 days ago i started to use the demo.
i'm a linux user , and if you are not using a 64bit distro , the demo on the site will not work.
So i contacted the leonardo team and after that we understand the issue , they created in less than few hous a 32bit version just for me :D
Before buying it i will spend some days to understand the full potentiality of this program,but meanwhile , i would like to say thanks to all leonArdo team and especially to jonathan
for helping me, that was very professional.


just some little suggestions.

1. add on manual trading label - Sell If Executed Price - Stop loss price
2. hide your orders from the market
3. When an order is completed , display in the book orders which bot/(strategy-name) did it.
4. Add Fibonacci levels
5. High refresh rate, i thinks it's too slow
6. 5, 15 , 30min Candles


Thanks a lot and good work to your team.

I need version Linux version 32bits  :'( :'(

Run in Raspbian - Raspberry Pi2?

Thanks a lot for your nice comments!

Yes, the download we have on our website is for 64 bit Linux, but we will add a 32 bit version there.

Thanks for your suggestions. Some of them are already available in leonArdo but perhaps not obvious. Let me go through each of your points.

1. add on manual trading label - Sell If Executed Price - Stop loss price

Do you mean adding a stop loss feature? If so, this is certainly something we are planning on adding.

2. hide your orders from the market

This is possible. There is a button on the left hand side of the chart containing three triangles. Toggling that button will hide/reveal all completed trades in the chart and active orders.

3. When an order is completed , display in the book orders which bot/(strategy-name) did it.

Good idea.

4. Add Fibonacci levels

We plan to add this, along with a number of new indicators soon.

5. High refresh rate, i thinks it's too slow

Right now we are using the pull API. But we are nearly finished implementing push API web sockets and will release soon.

6. 5, 15 , 30min Candles

If you click on the 1H button in the chart the candles are 2 min candles. Clicking the 6H button displays 5 min candles. 12H = 10 min candles, etc.

Once again thanks for your feedback and suggestions!

All the best,
The leonArdo guys

Just sent you a link through pm.

All the best,
The leonArdo guys

1. add on manual trading label - Sell If Executed Price - Stop loss price
Do you mean adding a stop loss feature? If so, this is certainly something we are planning on adding.

yes , but im talking also talking to set an automatic sell position if you complete a buy order (its a feature tipical of bitstamp platform)

2. hide your orders from the market
This is possible. There is a button on the left hand side of the chart containing three triangles. Toggling that button will hide/reveal all completed trades in the chart and active orders.

no i was talking about put hidden orders from the market , it is a bitfinex feature so other traders will not see your orders. (but i think depends from the exchange)

after that , adding Fibonacci levels other indicators and more trading bots will really improve your program
i dont want to push you over because i understand the lot of work that you have to do guys

thanks.

hidden orders are a nice feature but best one is
a trilateral trade (e.g. BTC-USD-LTC-RUR-NVC-PPC...)
thx :)

Thanks for clarifying! We are constantly working on improving leonArdo so suggestions such as these will become features of a future release.

All the best,
The leonArdo guys

leonArdo@margin, very interesting app...

Do you plan on eventually integrating a dark skin?  8)

Yes!

New referral scheme for leonArdo

We will pay $25 for every new customer referred to us by existing leonArdo customers.

All new customers have to do is add the email address of the existing customer to the referral field when they purchase leonArdo. Simple as that. We will then send the money :)

All the best,
The leonArdo guys

I received a rate of $ 25 reference , thanks Margin Software Devs.  ;) ;) :D :D

Best wishes,
Silvio

A new version of leonArdo is available with minor updates:

1) BTC-e market depth increased to 2000 orders
2) Calculation of effective gain when hovering orders in the chart fixed
3) Tooltip for the hovered ordered integrated into the tooltip for the comparison to the next order
4) Smaller bug fixes

We are working on a larger release with some really cool additions and will announce soon.

All the best,
The leonArdo guys

You are welcome Silvio. Yes, we will pay $25 for any referrals we get from existing customers!

Here is the transaction for our first referral payment:

https://blockchain.info/tx/239599885b4583777a81dadae2d5e66cd638ab181818319f0bf408e37e17c796 (https://blockchain.info/tx/239599885b4583777a81dadae2d5e66cd638ab181818319f0bf408e37e17c796)

Remember, if you are an existing customer you will receive $25 for each referral. Get the word out :)

The leonArdo guys

Yes it would be really great to be able to set an order if some conditions are met (like the price reached such levels and previous order completed or so)...

That could be a way to define safety nets for the bot trading strategies.

thanks !

We are working on some really nice new additions along these lines. Wont be ready for our next release, but maybe the one after that!

Just paid out our second referral bonus!

Thanks Margin again and my friend sydhelly  ;)

You are welcome! Thanks to you for spreading the word :)

Yup thanks Silvio for pointing me out to this nice software and for your tips on bot configuration :)

Nice Promo. Just placed my order for the ULTRA...

patiently waiting for Bittrex addition  :D

Thanks,

-Kushed

Thanks for your purchase.

And bittrex is a little delayed, but very close to being there we promise!!

Just fixed an error on the Mac OS version of leonArdo which caused it to crash when an indicator was removed. This wasn't an issue on Windows or Linux and therefore slipped past us.

It's working now though :)

If you use Mac, please download the newest version.

Best wishes,
The leonArdo guys

Any chance Quadrigacx gets added in the future?

Every chance, but up first are bittrex, C-Cex and Kraken...

Update

Just a short update to say that yes we are a little behind with releasing bittrex support. Sorry about that but there are just a couple more (minor) issues we need to resolve and then it's ready.

Our next major release, version 2.4, is also close and we are really excited with the new features we have added. Can't wait to get it into the hands of our customers.

And speaking of customers we can announce that sales of leonArdo are up by a factor of 16.5 on the same quarter last year! Welcome to all our new customers :)

The leonArdo guys 

Sounds good, looking forward to the updates...

 :)

Remember, using leonArdo's tools window you can keep track of up to 25 charts on another screen. What's more, you can fully interact with those charts to adapt orders, change view etc.

Why do I keep getting this annoying popup?

Hi NextGenCrypto,

If you think this is a bug then we need more information than what you provided to be able to even start looking into fixing it. Some important details:

• What OS are you using?
• A short description of what was happening when you encountered the issue
• The log. You can find it in the .leonArdo folder

It looks like it is the message you get when you stop a strategy. As the strategy "owns" an order you are prompted whether or not you want the order to remain on the order book or whether you want to cancel it.

But I can't say more until I have more details.

Best wishes,
Jonathan

I think it's linked to when the strategy stops on its own.
It seems to be after it completed an order and can't set the next one because of amount/value problem.
Looks like it's when you use all your balance of one currency, then due the fees, the bot may not be able to keep the same amount in the next order.

I found out that it works better if you use only a portion of your balance for the bot. It will keep trading.

But still the bots seems to be a bit buggued.
Yesterday I had a bot that completed the same order twice.
He bought 5 Ethers and instead of placing a sell order, he bought 5 Eth again !

Thanks for your input sydhelly.

Yes, it used to be that if you used used the min amount in the slider to start trading with then there is a chance the bot will stop as after fees are taken as there is not enough funds left to place the next order. But we fixed that a long time ago. This looks like the opposite case, using the max amount given by the slider. Can you provide some more info? Thanks!

The bot should NOT have bought twice. If you observe something like this please send us the details (including log)!

Thanks,
Jonathan

HI Johnathan,

Thanks for your reply and for the god good consumer support as always.

It was in a previous session so I don't have the log in my current leonardo. Is there a way to get the log from prior sessions ?
(I'm on ubuntu btw, maybe some hidden txt files to access ?)

Regarding the double buy problem, I think it was due to problems of connections with Poloniex during the downtimes/ddos.

If I can access the logs of previous sessions we may be able to know more.

Btw, I am very happy with leonardo software as a manual trading/analysis tool.
I am playing a bit with the bots, but they require a lot of baby sitting if you wanna make some profit out of it in the current alt crypto environment.

Thanks,

edit : typo, "God consumer support" was a bit too much :)

Correct, this is when using the max in the slider.  Will get you more info later when I can.   ;D

Thanks sydhelly!

hey, LeonArdo.... where you at? Sent you money and no response.  How can I get the software after paying?

they will compile the software once you send them half of your api key for the selected exchange. Did you register your email with your selected exchange ?

Once compiled you will download the software on the main page and it will work with your key.

Welcome :)

Hi greymatter,

As you didn't fill out the registration form with the API key details we need there was a mix up! Apologies for that.

I have mailed you and pm'd you now.

Best wishes,
Jonathan

Thank you , I got it! Thanks for the fast and great support!

And thanks to Leonardo for my referral paiement :)

Happy to help people get on board this nice software !

It hapened again with the ping pong bot !

I think it occurs when the strategy is running and you manually cancel the current order.
The bot will think the order has been fulfilled and will place the opposite order, which results in a double buy or double sell.

IMPORTANT 04/15 09:40:35 am [poloniex:bot:ETH/BTC] : [DR. PonG] current order was manually canceled, switching to sell
CRITICAL  04/15 09:40:35 am [poloniex:bot:ETH/BTC] : [DR. PonG] transition to "switching state"
DEBUG     04/15 09:40:36 am [system] : heart is beating ...
CRITICAL  04/15 09:40:36 am [poloniex:bot:ETH/BTC] : [DR. PonG] transition to "creating order"

Please solve this, I lost some money because of this bug. (definitely not a feature !)

Thanks for finding this. On the mArgin maker bot manually cancelling an order results in the same order type being placed again. But the ping pong bot switches states!

Will work on a fix for this straight away. Until then, don't manually cancel orders when using the ping pong bot!!!

Ok thanks for the feedback.
Yes it does not happen with the margin maker, only with the ping pong bot.

Thanks for the good support :)

Issue resolved

Please download the latest version of leonArdo to get the fix. Windows and Mac OS X version are available and linux will be updated in the next hour or so.

Thanks again to sydhelly for finding this!

All the best,
The leonArdo guys

Linux version also uploaded.

You are welcome. Thanks for spotting the issue!

Any rough ETA on release for Bittrex support?

We were just about ready to release when we realised that Bittrex doesn't handle partially filled orders well. Everything is an order. But if an order gets only partially filled and then cancelled, things get very strange indeed. We need to find a solution for this within leonArdo's framework as it is different from any of the other exchanges we support...

What is this new thread about v2.5, with a new website and a new account ?

Legit or scam ?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1441983.new#new

It's a scam. Thanks for posting there.

The post started by "BarrioFInito" is a scam. Please don't click on any links there. We have contacted the mod.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

All the best,
The leonArdo guys

This is the true post, don't get fooled by the other scam post on the forum.

Thanks to our great customers for emailing us and for posting on the thread alerting everyone about the scam. Also thanks to Cyrus for taking down the post.

Kept vigilant everyone.

Can someone tell me what i posted? Or why my name is coming up in this thread?

I never posted nothing outside "Leocoin" thread, and im sure that mods and admins can confirm that.

If anyone from @leonardo@margin would like me to answer anything i am more then willing to help.

So i have been sent pm, i have sent it back, and now i hope we can clear this up.

So you are the source of this. Where and how did you find this "thread"? It was never posted by me, and i wonder who, how and why choose "me" to pin this on me.

So please, if you could help me understand, how and when did you find this thread?

did you find it, or were you told by someone? and if so by who?

ty for your help, im sure we will get the bottom of it

The thread was right here on this subforum. roughly 30 hours ago.
A copy of the first post of this thread claiming that it's become free and v2.5.

And it was definitely coming from your account, no doubts on that.

Btw for those that come here through reddit/twitter, only 24 hours remaining on the discount :) don't miss it !

Would be nice to add QuadrigaCX (https://www.quadrigacx.com/?ref=r5fuq0h77ox78diexb85orow) exchange. It's the best Canadien exchange I have seen.

Sorry to anyone who downloaded the demo since about 8pm last night (CET). We introduced a bug that meant if you downloaded it leonArdo wouldn't start!!

Everything is fixed now so please download again :)

All the best,
The leonArdo guys

Will look into it. Thanks.

Version 2.4 will be released next week! Can't wait for you guys to get your hands on it :)

Please Black Theme, my eyes Thanks. ;)
