To the credit of BTC China - their help desk did email me back quickly - with an explanation, which i am satisfied with...

So i've decided to keep my account with them

I recently began trading on BTC China because I heard that they do not have any transaction fees at this point.
I opened an account there and was happy with the level of intrusion required in order to verify my details - eg supplied my mobile number - with the understanding that I would not be able to deposit/withdraw fiat without supplying further identification details.

I then uploaded bitcoins to my account on a few occasions, and traded in and out of yuan a couple of times and enjoyed the experience knowing that I'm very new at this and could "practice" trading here due to the zero trading fees policy which they currently have.

Suddenly a short time ago - after I had uploaded some more bitcoins to my account - I noticed that the website would not allow me to do anything except for direct me to a new form entitled "
Please provide identification information to continue" ...
Here is asks for more personal info such as passport numbers etc - which i am not comfortable supplying!

I wish to emphasise that my understanding of the terms and conditions were that the limited personal info I had already supplied up until this point - eg mobile number - was sufficient for the purposes of trading - with the limitation that i could not deposit/withdraw yuan fiat.

I have emailed their help desk for assistance but am afraid they will not assist me. After all I had emailed their help desk a few days ago asking for assistance with their API details not working for me, and got absolutely no response from them whatsover.

Now they're sitting with a chunk of my bitcoins and i'm powerless to do anything about it!!

Not sure whether my previous comments/questions will get a reply because I can see that there many more questions than there are people able to answer at this point in time.

As somebody whose been over this entire topic once and has also gone through the bot help once I am struggling a bit and have the following general observations.

1. I am not having much success with the backbenching functionality. It would be much easier if one could move the data from right to left - in order to go back in time (and visa versa) - just as you can in bitcoinwisdom.com charts. In fact, if you (Stephan) could update the graphical parts (charts and indicator) to work just like they do in bitcoinwisdom.com's charts then that would go a very very long way in making this bot easier to use.

2. It would be amazing as well if you could get the indicators to work exactly as they do on bitcoinwisdom.com charts - even with the same defaults - and especially the same logic so that when we add an indicator to the bot, then it will behave exactly as the corresponding indicator on bitcoinwisdom.com behaves.

3. If somebody could also please explain the correlations/relationships between the following "time" parameters:

a) the bot "update timer" value
b) the "interval length" in various bot indicators
c) the "time period" in BitCoinWisdom (ranging between 1 week and 1 minute)

If I can get these questions answered then i stand a chance of getting the most out of the bot

anybody here who is willing to answer my question is welcome to reply - this is not just directed at Stephan as there are many savvy members here who understand the bot and particularly its indicators well enough to answer my relatively simple question(s).

I am using the latest version 0.0.9.6 beta.

I am trying out the indicator called 'stochastic indicator' ...

I have some questions and hope somebody can answer them.

1. The "interval length" (default = 30) - is that supposed to be set to the same number as the "update timer" setting for the bot or is there no relation?
Perhaps the interval length of this indicator must simply be a multiple of the interval length? What is the relation between the two - if any?

2. I see it says "buy at 80 or higher" and "sell at 20 or lower" ... so I'm assuming that this indicator is the exact opposite of the traditional indicator called Stochastic RSI?  (it has buy at <= 20 and sell at >= 80)

3. If so, why not just use the standard Stoch RSI indicator that everybody loves and knows?

I also have some Q's regarding the MACD indicator:
1. It comes with two default params of SMA short length = 12 and SMA long length = 26. If I compare that to the MACD indicator shown on http://bitcoinwisdom.com : which has three MACD parameters of 26, 12 and 9. So two of the params correspond, but any idea what the extra param of 9 is for on bitcoinwisdom?
Are these two indicators the same?? Because i find this one on bitcoinwisdom seems to fit my trading requirements best - particularly when the data is collated into 1 hour intervals...

2. As you will know, bitcoinwisdom can show the data in intervals of 1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 6h, 12h, 1d, 3d, 1w
and so my next question is what is the link between these intervals on bitcoinwisdom and the simple bot, i.e. HOW do i tell the bot to apply the data and indicators in terms of intervals of data corresponding to any of the above intervals shown in bitcoinwisdom charts?
At first I thought perhaps it was the "update timer" parameter in the bot, but this doesn't make sense as that is simply the time period between data refreshes - it has nothing to do with intervals for the purpose of collating data?

3. Some of the Bot indicators have interval type params - are those perhaps the same as the interval setting in bitcoinwisdom charts?

G'Day

I was wondering if anybody whose been trading on BTC China is able to confirm what they can and cannot do without ID verification?
I have already opened an account with BTC China, but am not really keen to be 'verified' unless its absolutely nescessary for what I want to do on their exchange - which is simply to transfer/upload some bitcoins to my wallet there and then trade with these in and out of yuan and then eventually withdraw those bitcoins back out to my paper wallet...

In other words at no stage will I be depositing yuan into my account nor will i be withdrawing yuan out of my account ... i will simply be depositing, trading and then withdrawing bitcoins!

Can anybody please confirm or deny whether I can do this with an account which has no id verification?

hi All

I've known about bitcoins for well over a year now, but dismissed it as an investment option until about 2 weeks ago - the same time the rest of the world became aware of it!!   
So yeh - btc was well on its way to $1000 and i figured I've probably missed the boat! I have in the meantime converted some fiat into the system, but have concentrated on ltc instead as i figured that would have more potential upside at this late stage.

Been taking a bit of a beating on BTC-e lately 

My immediate aim is to get past the forum newbie tab so that i can interact with some of the forum members directly
