It's been several hours that the site does not respond to me.
I have not seen any mention of it in the forum.
Am I missing something?

The recent activity suggests to me that the bidders bots (banksters?) are doing a good job at tricking the sellers bots (lucky early adopters)  down the road to the lower supports.

The demand is there, it's just moving back away from the ticker. This is quite obvious on bitcoinity tool:
http://bitcoinity.org/markets?exchange=all
Any btc earned is immediately transferred to the the selling market depth,  it kills the usual sinusoidal bounce observed in other regular big transaction.
The bot owner secures a comfortable profit while breaking on any further rally.

I doubt the chase going on is just panic.
I'd guess someone with loads of btcs left his bot driving down the market chasing the lower biggest bid.

Hopefully he realises it soon enough. In the mean time, I also hope a lot of people are getting in and will share the profit with those smart bots

Salut à tous,

A l'heure où la vague Bitcoin commence à déferler sur la France, nous sommes plusieurs à travailler sur des projets d'envergure qui pourraient être mobilisateurs.
Je vous propose un apéro communautaire ou chacun pourra présenter ses projets et d'éventuelles synergies pourront être identifiées.

Il ne s'agira pas de présenter Bitcoin, je vois que Renaud a très bien fait ça la semaine dernière, mais plutôt pour ceux qui sont déjà familiarisés d'aller plus loin et pour ceux en pointe de se faire connaître.
Pour ma part, il s'agira de vous présenter une nouvelle plateforme de conception en ligne de bots, dont la version gratuite proposera 3 bots de tradings sur MtGox, TradeHill et ExchangeBitcoins.

J'ai créé un Doodle avec mes dispos pour déterminer la meilleure date.
On peut également discuter du lieu adéquat ici.

A bientôt,

Jesse

Hi,

I'm having trouble using the Tradehill test APIs.
I'm using a .Net Client, ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback was set to a true returning delegate to bypass SSL issue.

No pb retrieving the Ticker with a Get request:{"ticker": {"sell": "11.9999000000", "buy": "61.0000000000", "last": "11.9999", "vol": "0", "high": "0", "low": "0"}}

But when posting to https://api-test.tradehill.com/APIv1/USD/GetOrders with name=myemail and pass=mypwd I get {"error":"Not logged in."}
Similar Bot works fine on getOrders, buyBTC and sellBTC on MtGox API

Has anyone experienced that problem?
Any successful attempts?

Thanks in advance for your advices.

Newbie here,

I just recently found out about Bitcoin, got myself a MtGox Account and a couple of BTC.
I understand that BitCoin is not all about speculation, I've read quite a bunch of very interesting posts here and there, so this is rather about experimenting with the available tools.

Now that I'm a bit more familiar with the principles and that the rally has slowed down a bit, I thought I'd give a try to tracking the market and issuing small orders to account for local variations.
I tried to account for the 0.65% fee per trade and apparently failed to do so, as the fees have absorbed just about all my gains.

Here are the notifications I received by email:

As far as I understand you get:

a 0.65% commission on the price you ask when you sell
a 0.65% commission on the price you bid AND on the coins you get when you buy.

I must say this is not really how I understand "0.65% fee per trade".
With the volume of trading that Mt Gox now has, I'd have expected a little more details, something more professional and more transparent about the underlying computations.

What do you guys think ? Is that normal and are there some other fees I should be aware of?
Cheers
