http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Am0Ray&package=QtBitcoinTrader
IGHOR, please update the link in your announce.

[UPD] Added mobility version:

I'm not sure if someone asks this before but is it possible to trade on LTC Markets (BTCE - OKCOIN) ?

If not, what to change in source code ? globally

Thanks anyway

You can trade on BTCE with litecoins, BTC China litecoins support will be added on next update.

Thanks, maybe OKCoin in the future too ?

[Emryspt]

Is it possible to give market orders with this software?

I only found limit orders.

I really would like to know this too.

[Barki]

Hi Ighor,
is it possible to create a rule like:

If "Market last price" is 5% more than "My Orders last buy Price" sell ...

Would you add "My Orders Last Buy/Sell Price" to the second Column with the next update?

Regards Barki

Unless I am entirely wrong the last buy/sell trading indicator seems to only trip if the current buy is at least some percent different then the last buy before the one you just posted. At least on BTCe that's what I noticed.

Using last and greater or less then some % for buy or sell and that does almost exactly what I wanted. Just not the way I was hoping. I do like the idea of some % above or below the last buy or sell. Still it does work with last and limit orders.

I'll make ability to create rule like this: "If %SOMEVALUE% goes 5% less than %ANOTHERVALUE% than do ..".

OpenSuSE package available at OBS repo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/m0Ray
IGHOR, you can include this link to your announcenet, it is permanent.

Thank you! I have added your links.

I got lost while creating a huge load of rules that enabled more rules and groups, which didn't really work in the end as soon as I was working with "when I have less/more btc than 50% do <action>". Somehow the 50% thing didn't work at all for me, didn't trigger once. Tried it with the trailing checkbox too. Same.
 
As far as I understood that right: Trailing is tracing my overall BTC/USD amounts so that a rule doesn't get triggered twice before a different rule for another pricerange.
 
Trading now again with 2 simple rules in just 1 group and nothing more. Works just like in the old version. Even though I have to edit the rules by hand every few hours.
But I would love to have the percent feature work for me. (Mac OS X)
 
I am also sure that it's possible to auto trade (when you have a decent amount of BTC) within any price range without editing rules or touching the trader again for weeks or even months.
For example: Creating a massive amount of rules and groups that trade a specific percentage of BTC/USD within every possible pricerange. 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850, 900, 950, 1000 etc.
I think it all depends on a perfect ruleset without _any_ errors at all and a high amount of BTC/USD to trade with. Problem there is (for me): To TEST that, you have to have a high amount of BTC/USD. Any if it goes wrong: well you are going to lose money because of testing. The more priceranges you'd like to autotrade with, the higher is the chance to lose money on testing the rules if there are any logical mistakes made by the trading person.
 
Ighor: I am not experienced enough for Linux to find out how to compile this on my RPi. Even had problems installing 1 or 2 dependencies that you mentioned, which I tried on Ubuntu. These just couldn't be found. (Forgot which one exactly.)
Was just wondering if you have some kind of precompiled version. I'd like to save some computer energy in the first place. Letting this run on a Raspberry Pi is also VERY interesting with the things mentioned above. (Setting up rulesets for never touching/editing the trader again and just let it run. If we see $1500 or $2000 this idea will go to waste, but that might take a while.)

I don't have precompiled version, I'm not sure about performance of ARM but I hope to try it on RPi soon.

Hi Ighor,

I would like to request a "viewing only" mode, that uses an API pair which only has permissions to view the order book and last trades.
It almost works with v1.07.97, but with an error message "Identification required to access private API" that appears sometimes.

With a "viewing-only" mode, it shouldn't even attempt to access the "trade" and "info" parts of the account, to avoid the error message being triggered.

Thanks

I will do this soon.

If, 24 hr Highest Price, Goes More Than, 10%, Sell All my BTC, Market Ask Price

What I just don't understand is "Goes More Than, 10%"

10% of what?
If it's current price then what is the tick time? Is it yesterdays low price? Is it price of my buy price? Is it the bid price of 10 minutes ago?
I can't see how these formulas can work without defining the "Goes more than, 10% of........."

That is why I want it to LOG the Price Range within a time frame
( excluding the current high price )

say if Yesterdays highest price was $700 ( 24 hr ago )
it will sell if it hits $770 today

Currently the % will only work if its achieved in a tick movement as the highest price will just keep going higher but it will have no idea what the target price is

bitcoinwisdom keeps track of opening , highest, lowest , closing prices
I am wanting QT trader to do the same thing

it only needs to log within the specified time frame

I'll work to make this too.

Hi everyone!

As I have written before, I have several developments for Qt Bitcoin Trader in the pipeline. This summer, several powerful features will be added. This, however, will cost time and money. Therefore I have decided to commercialize the application in the following way.

•   The exchanges which receive new customers and trading traffic from the application will have to pay, if they wish that their exchange shall be featured in the enhanced application.
•   I will continue development and commercialization of the application within a datacom company where I am a part owner, Centrabit AG, with CHF 200 000 share capital. This will give me the resources to speed up the development and combine the application with other services within Centrabit, which will make Qt Bitcoin Trader better for users and exchanges.
During March 2014 I will contact selected exchanges in order to check the interest for being featured within the enhanced Qt Bitcoin Trader.

I thank all users who have donated bitcoin during the last ten months, (total 7 BTC). You have helped me make this application possible. From now on I do not need any more donations.

For the avoidance of doubt:

•   Qt Bitcoin Trader remains open-source.
•   Security and privacy remain top priority.

You need to create new password what will be used to encrypt your API keys what will be saved locally.

Going forward,

will all exchanges still be included,

or just need to pay a fee to be featured  / Highlighted ?


Thanks

Hi.
New exchanges will be added as soon as we reach commercial agreements with them. You could tell the exchange this.

What about adding US exchanges like coin.mx and a few others?

[CambioBTC]

What BitFinex Error is:

"Nonce is too small"  ?


Thanks

I'll contact them one by one.

This mean that you used same API keys in other apps, or you trying to run two instances with same API keys.
You should re-create API keys and use it only in one program.

I have doubts that exchanges are going to pay you to have their exchange added to the bot. Most expect it the other way around. I think if this doesn't work out, a better method would be to implement a separate auto trade fee so that any successful trade that happens (buy or sell) would include a small 0.1%-0.5% fee added to whatever the exchanges fee is. So in other words when the trade successfully goes through (the open order is closed), the exchange gets it's fee as usual and the bot also sends a separate 0.1%-0.5% to your btc address. I think this would please everyone and here's why:
1) The bot would remain free.
2) All exchanges could be included (eventually)
3) The more people using and making trades with the bot the more money you and your company would make.
4) The users don't have to deal with switching between "supported exchanges" and "unsupported exchanges".
5) It all happens in the backend and would be auto calculated within the rule set so the user still makes a profit.

just my 2 cents. I know I'd personally stop using the bot if BTCe was no longer supported mainly because I don't want to move my btc around again.

I have doubts that exchanges are going to pay you to have their exchange added to the bot.

Let's wait and see. If Ighor enriches his app with charting, then his product would for sure be of interest to exchanges.

Bucketshops are paying hundreds of thousands of dollar to get Metatrader as a front-end for their clients (and partially a back-end for themselves). Why wouldn't bitcoin exchanges pay for having a decent front-end for their clients?

As far as I know there is currently one application, rtbtc, that has charts and order execution - the end user pays 20 bucks a month (rtbtc charts are very basic and low-quality).

Ighor follows a different business model in which the exchange pays for the front-end. In my opinion Ighor's product has potential (quality-wise, if charts are added) to kill rtbtc.
