It depends if you have a huge amount of bitcoins and fiat to play with, the market cap is around $3B which is easily manipulative if you have a huge capital to invest into the manipulation.
is $3B referring to the value of the number of bitcoin out there ? because many coins are in wallets lost forever (especially those created in the early days) , also- many of the bitcoin owners do not necessarily trade, but rather prefer to just hold on to the coin. |

After all, how much would it cost to manipulate the BTC/FIAT exchange rate ? after all - there is a very limited number of exchanges, and trading volume is not as high as is the case in the traditional Foreign exchange

hi, look this powerful api with LakeBTC exchange, https://lakebtc.com/s/api?locale=en include orderbook, trade histroy, and trading api and there are many available sample code can be used such as Python, PHP, Ruby etc... at present, I trading with the api without any problems, okay, little trouble, its sometime timeout but short-lived Thanks Nrcewker ! I would appreciate if you could answer a few questions in a 1.5 minute survey, for a select group of experienced trades (1.5 minute survey) - the survey is about investment preferences: https://eSurv.org?u=bitcoin_investor_survey The aggregated (and, of course, anonymous) results will be posted in the Trading forum |

Very important every decent charting site uses an API, bitcoinwisdom.com cryptowat.ch tradingview for instance. So even if you don't directly query the api, you need it to functionally evaluate price as internal charts on exchanges are pretty bad.
As far as "people" that actually use APIs you're looking mostly at bots or people gathering data for backtesting purposes. There are some things like QT-Trader, cryptrader, coinigy which by adding your api keys you can view and submit orders.
tl;dr I wouldn't run an exchange without an API.
Thanks, for the input CreationLayer. interesting stuff |

Traders
1. are you actually using the APIs provided by the BTC Based exchanges?
-Or-
Are you using mostly the regular web interface ?
2. Those who are using the API - are you using for : making trading decisions / submitting orders / both ?
3. are these specific generic tools that connect to the APIs or each trader has to build his/her own tools ?
I'm asking in order to understand the level of importance attributed to the APIs (Important vs. "nice to have" )

what is leverage in this context?  Lets say you have 300 usd and you are 99% sure the price of btc in usd/btc will go from 300 usd/btc to 330 usd/btc in the next week and that it will not at any point before that drop down to more than 290 usd/btc then you can for example: 1) buy 1 btc and hold if and when the price gets to 330 usd/btc you can sell it for 330 usd and get a profit of 30 usd or 2) take a 5 times leveraged long position usd/btc with 200 usd and sell the position when it reaches 330 usd/btc and get a profit of 200*(((330/300)-1)*5) = 100 usd profit Basically you lend 4 times your own (200 usd) amount in the second example and invest 1000 usd in total and then profit or losses becomes 5 times higher in this example the reason why you only take a 200 usd position in this example is to handle possible smaller downswings before the value of bitcoins gets to the 330 usd/btc level one predicted, the 100 usd left can in this example handle a 100/200/5 = 10% downswings. There is some fees to for lending funds also so this is just a basic example but if your correct in your assumptions you can earn more with smaller amounts available if you do leveraged tradings, but the risks also increase. The trades you mention ARE indeed risky, but not all Bitcoin trades are created equal, and more importantly, not all carry such a high level of risk . A person can use Bitcoin to invest in DOW, NASDAQ, Gold , Silver [and others] which are much less volatile that the BTC/to-other-digital-currencies trade that you described. |

I wouldn't advise you to use leverage if you are trading beginner, it's dangerous and you could lose all you money, especially when you are using higher leverage(less guaranty bond),People are addicted to leverage because you can throw out a minnow to catch a whale with the leverage,so I call it "gambling" instead of leverage.
You can lose through leverage and you can lose without leverage. the leverage itself has nothing to do with it You CAN lose all your money. but this would happen only if you risk all your money. BUT, if you limit possible loss (and you can limit), I'm sure you would agree that one can prevent such a thing from happening This, of course is not a recommendation to use leverage, but a distinction that one should know what he/she is doing, before doing it. this apply for many areas of life. Question - Did you ever use leverage , or are you against the idea of leverage on principle ? |

Have you ever Leveraged ? |

thanks for the insight.
for some reason i can't see the importance level you gave. Is it safe to assume it is the highest priority ?

as experience trader (person who invests bitcoin in various exchanges)
Is leverage important to you or is this something that you dislike/avoid ?

Similar to the a stock exchange order, you indicate an order amount. (There is no fixed contract amount)
your Order goes to the order-book, till it is matched with a counter-order
Minimum per order is 0.1 BTC
Commission: 0.1% of the executed amount (if a part of your order was executed, the fee is due for this part only)
At this time, Orders are not on margin.
Please note: all Contracts are auto-settled on end of trading day.
Need any clarification ? let me know
