[ANN] AcctBot - Open source automated trading platform

[arunka71]

I keep fighting between periodic polling and streaming APIs. Currently I am polling at a configurable interval simply because I'm a bit uneasy about opening the number of connections it would require to subscribe to every channel we are interested in. I may do some tests and see how it performs. I am well aware that using sockets will make response time much better but it would be a relatively large undertaking to switch over at the moment.

Same here. So I started a new bot version from scratch. If your bot can live with a few currency pairs, you might stick to the polling concept. But my arb stuff needs many pairs to function well, so streaming APIs are the way to go for me.

[DanArmstrong]

I think that it makes perfect sense to use the streaming API for the bots. I am starting on the required changes to implement that. The polling bit will still come in handy for keeping the pairs and the balances current but for trade analysis the streaming API makes more sense no matter how I look at it. That will set me back a bit but hopefully it will be pretty quick to implement.

[arunka71]

In a perfect design, you could use both concepts. Make the bot a listener to the exchange API implementations, but also keep the option to query prices.

But also store the prices somewhere, so different strategies could use them without polling them again.

[DanArmstrong]

Right now I store all of the trades in an embedded neo4j database and create candles from them as I ready them for the TA to take place.

Main difference from C.A.T?

[DanArmstrong]

Mine is open source and free and it looks like C.A.T charges for the core and then for each exchange API integration.

[ezak]

Is this Bot will support exchange site No fee like btcc or huobi ?

It has been a while since I've posted an update. We had a few nights of freezing temperatures here in CO and apparently that was too much for my phone lines and they broke. My provider can't get a tech out until next week so that is a bummer. In the mean-time, I have been working on what I can without an internet connection, which is almost nothing. I have, however, started implementing the streaming APIs for the exchanges, with polling as a backup. At the moment, the jawampa library does not support connecting through a proxy so that has been a bit of a hassle. Once my internet is repaired I hope to be able to hammer out the changes and get a new preview out the door.

This project has been halted as we are in the middle of a merger. More information to be released in the near future.

[bhokor]

mmm, actually with cratpsy dead would be really important to add some other exchanges

[gablay12]

Very interesting, well done.

A new project was not planned well and its development just stopped in the middle, which will cause you to lose loyal users.  Any way I hope your platform is launching soon with new features and adding other exchanges.

That's pretty disappointing... Cryptsy is a joke, was waiting for your Polo updates. Also closing the repo... smh

[DanArmstrong]

Part of the merger included a no-compete clause and required my pulling the repo offline. I would say more but have been asked not to yet. When announcing the project here, I had absolutely no idea that someone  would be interested in acquiring the platform after seeing it here, so I do humbly apologize for a botched launch. On the other hand, I feel like the product that is emerging as a result is more the vision that I had in mind when I set out to create this thing.

No problem, sometimes such things can happen. Is this emerging new product will be opensource or some commercial stuff?

[DanArmstrong]

It is a commercial product. However, since I do feel like I unintentionally stiffed you guys I will push to get it into some hands for free.

I was about to make a deal with you unless you still have the project up for corporation.
