You can try to "front run" the bulk of orders at crowded price levels by placing your order a few odd number of cents below it (if its a sell) or above it (if its a buy order). It helps looking at the order book before placing the order. I also recommend trading with a comfortable trading client application rather than through the website. For Linux and Mac users I recommend goxtool.

Because it is likely that a lot of other people also have orders at this same price and if not *all* orders at this price get eaten then then only the ones who were earlier than you will be filled. Once *all* orders at 795 are filled then your order will have been filled too.

Orders are sorted by price and then if the price is the same then they are sorted by time and the oldest orders at any particular price are filled first.

Since a few days it does not work on Firefox anymore. (Ubuntu precise + Firefox 26.0). All I get are the empty black frames and a small box in the middle saying: "loading". Firefox is not an exotic 0.0001% browser, its still pretty common in many places, please test on all major browsers. Thank you.

Really? I read otherwise. I know only of one statement from official sources and that did not mention something as nonsensical as funding allowed, withdrawl not allowed, it also said that registered exchanges and bitcoin trading are legal and also no mention of a deadline of 31st January. Everything else I have heard since then were only interpretations and speculations by other people and the complaints of the owner of one exchange about how he could not find a payment provider or banking partner. But I have read nothing about a new law since then. Please send a link. Until then I call it market manipulation through FUD.

Why would they want to do this? This would be the equivalent of completely shutting down their operations.

What is on January 31st? What deadline?

MtGox websocket is excellent, 99.9% uptime and <200ms delay. Try goxtool (see my sig) for a proper implementation and reference.

It was a few hours ago, I did not look at the exact values at that time, so I can't comment on that question. Currently (right now at this very moment) according to the official MtGox API the correct numbers are:

You must first multiply each *individual* bid with its price to get the USD value of each bid and *then* add the USD values. This screenshot you posted is doing it wrong. Its totally meaningless to add up the sum of BTC on the bid side.

Its probably also a modified goxtool. Original code for original goxtool is at my repository (link in my sig)

He probably added the user.conf stuff to support multiple installations on his multi user hosted goxtool server, probably heavy modifications because also every user needs his own account api secret.

The original _balancer does not need a config file, the way it is supposed to work in a single user setup is to edit the .py file of the strategy directly and then just press "l" (lowercase L) to dynamically reload the strategy at runtime (keep it simple approach, also for making code changes to the bot or similar experiments without needing to restart the entire application).

and in my signature the link for the main goxtool app. The only recommended and supported version.

Thats a fork of my original bot. I don't know what was changed in this fork and how to use it, I can only recommend my original as it is found in the link on page 1.

The _balancer.py this thread is about has no "user.conf", please see the link to the original in post #1

You also wouldn't have needed any additional json packages, all of goxtool is using the built in json moule that comes with a standard python installation, I don't know what this balancer fork is doing or what it needs exotic additional json libs for.

ThomasV, could you please have a quick look at this thread (its a bit old already, are you aware of this, is it fixed already or is it meant to be that way intentionally? What does the corresponding BIP say about it?)

Is not enough. please read the thread, I have mentioned it multiple times. Load it at least with a few thousand dollars for it to make any sense. Minimum order size on gox is 0.01BTC, if you do the math you will see that your rebalancing orders would be too small by orders of magnitude.

Hier ebenfalls. Stimmt hinten und vorne nicht. Ich hab jetzt 423µ beommen (22 cent) für 5 Gh/s (vorher zufällige Summen zu zufälligen Zeiten), anfangs war wöchenliche Zahlung ausgemacht und jetzt wird mein Wallet täglich mit Staub vollgeblasen, wenn ich das jemals wieder ausgeben will geht die Hälfte für Gebühren drauf. Der nächste Miner freut sich dann.

Bitstamp M15 chart, ascending triangle, short term ultra bullish. And if it breaks upward we might also break the down trend on the H6

Edit: and if this happens we might see $2000 before the year is over.

This thread's sentiment is turning bearish now? I will take that as a bullish sign.
