Bug?
Symbol selection appears to be greyed out and disabled for Btc-e trading.  Is this a QT thing or a BTC-e thing?

Request:
It would be nice to have a way to update the rules based on current rates...this would give a more stable "safety net" for traders if the bottom falls out why we're afk...everybody has to sleep sometime you know?

Example:
IF Market Sell Price < X then Sell ALL at current Market Sell Price
X = Market Buy Price - $2.00

If this was in place, the rule would keep following upward trends and "lock in" a sell price just behind the Buy Price as the prices climb.

Sound alerts (beeps) still not working for me on latest BETA 1.07.92

you should look into adding MSC (mastercoin)

i think there is some code on github already which you can  leverage (but still in development & testing phases)

if you have questions about how it works feel free to ask, but I have a feeling that it will prove to be very useful for users of this trader in 2014

Important!:

I have seen at least 5 people on reddit and forums saying that QT Bitcoin Trader doesn't work because Key and Secret are rejected, if you are experiencing this problem do one of two things:

Easy way: Do not copy your keys directly from bitstamp to QTBT, first copy your keys elsewhere (Word, Notepad, StickyNote), and then copy and paste from there to QTBT.

Guaranteed way: Typing your credentials instead of copy/pasting, be sure you typed them correctly, it may take a while to do but once you have done that your credentials should not be rejected.

Good luck!

Ighor may i suggest you to stick this on your main post? While you fix it on the code.

Symbol selection become disabled while you have active rule running. Currently monitoring of many currencies at time is not supported. But I'll work on it.

Script language is currently on development. You will be able to do this when it released.

PM or email me with description how it works.

Thank you. Done.

Now comes the problem/issue.
I should be left with $9.89 - $4.98 = $4.91, just as Qt Bitcoin Trader thinks. However, even if the page at https://www.bitstamp.net/account/orders/ shows an existing order valued at $4.98, if I go to https://www.bitstamp.net/account/balance/ I see the following:
"USD in open orders:$4.99
Total USD amount:$4.90"

So this is why when I put another bid, using the All In button that calculates $4.91 remaining, i get the following message:
"API Error: You need $4.91 to open that order. You have only $4.9 available. Check your account balance for details. ReqType:306"

Editing that into $4.90 works.

I have also tested this with other amounts, values, and seems all you have to do to fix this is substract once cent for every existing open bid from the total remaining balance. For instance, with 4 opened bids, Qt Bitcoin Trader thinks I have 4 cents ($0.04) more in my remaining account that I actually have, according to Bitstamp.

I hope this helps.

Good description. Thank you. Are you sure there is only 4 cents?
I'll fix it to substract once cent for opened bids. Is there substraction or addition for asks required?
Can you confirm it with large amount? (I think there maybe some % required instead of cents. But need to test).

Apologies but I have no idea what to put into the Client ID section - can anyone help me out?

This is Bitstamp Login (5 digits).
I don't know why, but it required for API requests.
None of other exchanges used login in building hash.

But it works safe, match safer then previous version of Bitstamp API.

great program.

I agree with earlier post about putting a moving sell price rule as a % of current price .

also,

your market data section is counter intuitive
MARKET BUY price should show what the market is currently offering to purchase
MARKET SELL price should show what the market is currently offering to sell held bitcoins.

you have it backwards and sell price is showing what market is currently offering if you were to sell, which is wrong.

Currently it shows price you can buy or sell, not price others buy and sell.
Long time ago it was swapped, but peoples wrote to me and tell it is wrong.

So, please all of community, tell me. Mast I swap this values or not?

Fair enough

lets take for example http://bitcoin.clarkmoody.com/
where buying price is the current offer for purchase of bitcoins and selling price is current offer should you wish to buy bitcoins

i occasionally trade in traditional stock online and this is the same way the data is presented there  

the order book shows it this way but looking at the order book and market data box at same time seems like they should be the same.

maybe its me. anyway, good work.

Tested new version, now i can set Open Orders with no problem, thank you!

Tried beta 93 - still impossible to create a profile or save any API data on Mac (using BTC-E). Fill out all fields, hit ok - get sent to profile window asking for password (but my profile i just made isn't there, only default). Enter password anyway, jumps back to blank profile editor.

Is anyone using this on a mac??

Tested on Mac and it working well. But you are not first who have this problem.
This is permission problem.
Give full rights to this directory /Users/YourName/.config/QtBitcoinTrader

v1.07.94

Critical bug on Ticker fixed affected all exchanges.
Performance improvement.

Bitfinex API is stable and they have TWICE the trade volume of BTC-e

I'll add all most popular exchanges in Qt5 release. So if Bitfinex is so popular, it will be added too.
But first I'll release v1.08 Qt4 Stable version.

Hey, I know you strive for perfection, but you really need to release. 1.08 doesnt have to be perfect, and software never will be.
You need to take the plunge and release. Then you can focus on Qt5.

I agree with Ighor on this one. Stability comes first. I feel that we are close to a stable enough version though. But speaking of Bitfinex, it won't be such a simple addition, if you want to be able to have access to Margin Trading account as well... It also has stop loss type orders, which Qt Trader does not have at the moment, so Ighor will have to do a little more customizing work to add it.

But I feel would be a great addition.

And speaking of Bitfinex, why do you need it so much, btcdrak? For rules? I'm a long time user of Bitfinex and so far I'm happy with it's web interface.

But it is pretty stable already... Programmers seek perfection, but it never comes... there will always be bugs. You have to prioritise.
