I work on similar stuff.

I would try to run such a system on mobile phones. Much harder to shut down than static servers.

If you want to discuss things, you can add me on skype. Nick is daybyter.

In case you want to use java: I released some of my API implementations as opensources already (not yet complete, though):

If you are interested in some form of a collaboration, let me know.

No Fibonacci. I used Java.

I created the tables from a data model and already have some more stuff. My experience is from trading software. I wrote (and write) bots and implemented some APIs in my trading lib:

https://github.com/ReAzem/cryptocoin-tradelib

So I know at least some problems of those APIs.

It's easier for a bot to check your current funds.

If you trade btc/usd and ltc/usd with 1 account, you might not know what percentage of the usd funds belongs to the btc trade algo and what belongs to the ltc trader.

Do you have to enter commands while the bot is running? (Because you asked for the gui). I have a framework, that runs on a VPS, so it's hard to have a GUI there.

When you want to turn yout strategy into a standalone software, let me know. I work on similar stuff and already got something running.

RapidFire: would you be interesting in creating such an exchange, that is better for bots etc? I implemented some APIs and wrote bot code, so I guess I have some idea, what would help...

I would add them to the lib then, I guess. See the link in my earlier posting.

Does anyone know what happens if you request data too frequently? Does the IP (= both accounts) get banned then?

No. Openbitcointrader was meant as a opensource trading app. I wanted (and still want) to support this project and donated some sources. I work on a bot framework and released some of my API implementations as a lib, so the trading app doesn't have to replicate this work. I'm also willing to release some of my UI stuff later, if the opensource trading app could use them.

Very, very, cool! Another user, who doesn't hate java! I'm excited!

I also write trading stuff in java.

Some parts of my sources are here:

Maybe you could join forces with the openbitcointrader project?

Wie schon angedroht, hab ich immer noch Interesse... 

Also meine API Implementierungen haben nichts mit einem UI zu tun. Meine App kann im Server-Modus komplett ohne UI laufen. Die Module haben also keinerlei Abhängigkeiten zu irgendwelchen UI-Methoden.

Btc-e hat doch Altcoins?

Ja, der Artikel ist enorm gut. Sollte man jedem schicken, den man kennt.

Aber zu den Anlagen, wie Lehman usw: dort sind ja eben gerade oft ältere Leute reingelegt worden. Und für die ist der Schalterbeamte (unter dem Begriff läuft das ja noch oft) eine Institution und eine Vertrauensperson. Wenn der sagt, dass das Geld sicher ist, dann ist das für die Nachkriegsgeneration quasi in Stein gemeisselt und man bezweifelt das nicht. Das aus dem festangestellten Bankberater (beachte: Bank_berater_ vs Auto_verkäufer_ z.B.) inzwischen oftmals ein selbstständiger Handelsvertreter wurde, der rein auf Provisionsbasis arbeitet, und daher auch mal venezuelanische Goldminenanteile vertickt, wenn daheim das Brot knapp wird, können diese Leute sich nicht vorstellen. Viele Leute teilen mit diesen Menschen ja noch mehr Geheimnisse als mit dem Lebenspartner zuhause. Diese Person ist halt nicht 'irgendwer'. Und das wird dann halt auch heftig ausgenutzt.

Mateo: could the lifetime of the card (and the associated bank account)  extended by paying another 30$ at the date of expiration?

Ich würd mal beim nächstgelegenen Bitcoin Stammtisch vorbeischauen?
