FAP Turbo 2.0, the FOREX trading robot which also trades bitcoin!

All the indicators, including bid/ask sum, seem to lead us to a stability period. ATM market seems to be "on hold".... Obviously this is a very fragile equilibrium, it would just take a couple of big buys/dumps to trigger panic selling or buying.

boring is good.  Grin

No. It isn't if you like to do daytrading, or at least have some fun staring at bitcoinity.  Grin

My bot has made over 100 trades the past couple days... It is this kind of stable market where daytrading profits come easiest.

In more volatile markets, the risk is way higher.  Sure the reward is too, but I prefer reliable profits and a liquid market.  And I think most merchants and consumers would agree with that last point.

What exactly does your bot do?

Oh and guys, you realise it's only just turned Monday where it matters... I'd say we're on the verge of a breakout

Out of curiosity, what sort of bot do you use?

As a long term bull,

I like the fact that the price has been holding steady over $100.

The longer this holds the more it gets engrained into people's psyche that bitcoins are worth more than $100.

Stability also consists of small amounts of volume over time = lots of volume.

Building a base at these prices is really a good thing.

agree, sideways has historically always been bullish.
Not so: price went sideways around $14 for about a month, July 4th-August 1 2011, and was followed by a drop to $6 August 6th:
http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/mtgoxUSD#rg60zczsg2011-07-01zeg2011-08-30ztgSzm1g10zm2g25zv

That said, I agree that since the primary use of bitcoin these days is as a store of value, sideways should mean the market goes up.  Investors don't need balls the size of wheelbarrows to hold on to their BTC through the daily rollercoasters.  On the flip side, the google trends data indicates that money flow into the exchanges will likely be dropping as fewer new people hear about BTC, same as the slow drop during summer and fall 2011.  But a strong buyer has been enforcing a ~$120 bottom the past week, yet whenever the price breaks $150, thousands of coins seem to appear out of nowhere and get sold on the exchanges.

With all of these strong and conflicting signals, for the first time in a long time, I don't have a good idea where the market is going in the next two weeks. Therefore, my guess is that it keeps going sideways in the $120-$150 range.  It's a good time for an anti-volatility trading strategy: sell when the price is the highest it's been in the past ~24 hrs, and set a rebuy $3-5 lower.

And my exact opposite reply of the above^

If you guys are bored.  You can always take some play money to btc-e.com  You can trade with all sorts of altcoins that have no future but are fun to play with.  There is a ton of volatility and manipulation. There is also the trollbox (chatbox) which is a great source of laughter and horrible financial advice. There is money to made there.

all of them are pumped as hell in last week or so, barely any where you have some chance with prices at this moment, maybe trc eventually.

LTC - 0.03
NMC - 0.009
PPC -  0.0029
NV -  0.032
TRC - 0.0049

that's all way over prices that were regular in recent weeks.

Love catching the pumps on altcoins. Indeed, all have been way too pumped lately to buy in. Missed the last LTC chicken LOL. Too bad.

It sucks when the price is stable like this.  I need it to be volatile to make money as a trader.
