Hey S110RE, sent you a message.

BTC-E doesn't have a GBP rate and due to the difficulty in buying/selling BTC in GBP it should command at least a small premium.

Any takers?

Asking £210, that's the Mt Gox price but will consider offers.

Thanks...

I have 0.37 BTC to sell for GBP - suggest your rate?

This. I care far more about this than limit vs market orders. They're tools, and both are useful and necessary.

The lack of stop orders on any exchange is a travesty.

Interesting point, one with which I actually agree.. question would be, at what point do they stop.. the price can only go down to zero

Right, forgot to mention there are bugs in the original implementation If it gets stuck the only way to fix is to remove and reinstall.. I'll probably fix it at some point.. one of the bugs is that the interval doesn't fall on clock-intervals of the time you selected, but are relative to the time you started the browser. Doh!

I'd love to see the MACD.

Oh Clark my man, I signed up ages ago. Eagerly awaiting your release.

I would love to have my buy/sell buttons on the same page as the charts.  Sucks switching back and forth, particularly because the buy/sell interfaces on ALL the exchanges are a joke. It shouldn't be that hard to click your balance, set a price, click "buy/sell all" and have it do the very trivial math that takes your fingers 90 seconds to do.

I have debated creating a GreaseMonkey script to do exactly this that would inject itself directly into your charts page. 1st class support is always better

Because they're using 1000 accounts to do this - botnets spread all over the world.  It's exceedingly difficult to match the owner to the behavior. The only way to eliminate it is to make it very expensive to do this.

That would seem to indicate a basic lack of understanding of the bitcoin protocol.  If the miners shut down completely, there's nothing to confirm transactions. That doesn't make it a ponzi anymore than having computers store your bank account balance makes earning money at your job a ponzi.

"GOOG will go up."
"AMZN will go up."
"Oil futures will go up."

All would qualify as investment advice if coming from the mouth of anyone in a position of employment even remotely related to finance. So yeah, MtGox should definitely not have said that.

"The only Bitcoin service that has never been hacked"... zing. Lol.

Why would you do that if you know the price will hit $50.. wait till 50 and resell at 90 (even if the price goes up).

Basing off a prior post in this thread, I have updated the bot with the latest fixes and added 30, 15, 5 and 1 minute increments. As ErebusBat noted, it'll need to pull alot more data with more granular time so it'll use more memory, although from my own usage it doesn't seem to be too bad.

File is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ttrugs4fu9f139v/chromebotfix.zip

Make sure you have the latest update from the Chrome Store first!!

Simply overwrite the contents of the zip in the following directory:



One change this bot would desperately need is to fix its handling of initial conditions - if you happen to be at an all-time high but with a downswing indicator, it will happily buy high for you and sell low.  Easy enough to fix but would need someone to show interest.  For now the simple workaround is to only enable the bot at the moment you'd want it to buy or sell (and making sure your MtGox account is in the correct matching state).  You can leave it enabled after that but it's that initial switch flip that needs fixing.

Another would be taking commission fees into account - the EMAs can cross very close together and while in a 0% commission environment that would be fine, in reality you need at least a 0.96-1.2% spread to not lose money, depending on your MtGox trade volume.

Other arbitrary indicators can be added, easiest of which is probably MACD and the 9% Exponential, which tend to track momentum changes a bit closer to the source than do the EMA's.

Happy to accept BTC donations here.... 1DRKrvteSNv7Z5v3JpYi5siUM8xcwW6y6S if you have feature requests.. easy enough to do most things.

This, although to be specific, it should be *PER API CALL*, not per order actually completed.  Or you could batch, charge say 0.01 per 100 calls to the API. Make it expensive to use a bot that functions by hammering the market so hard that nobody has any idea what's going on - such as filling the space between actual bids with 100 bids of 0.01 btc.

But then again, I think the bigger problem is the lag.  Hard to know what to do when you're watching activity from 30 seconds ago, much less even 5, 10, or 60 minutes ago.

The best thing that could happen to bitcoin right now would be for the price to fall back to the $20-$30 range and stay there for a few months.

At 4am last night, you would have saved $15 per coin.. it varies by time of day.  The margin needs to be at least 7% to be profitable and that's just to cover the fees to move money and coins between the two..

Well, I feel like an idiot. Added. Question - how long did it take for them to validate yours as a withdrawal method?  I'd really love to take advantage of the current spread between the two...
