Thank you very much for posting this. I've been looking for a Trade Bot, figure I can work out the trading algorithm, needed a jump start on the API stuff, etc.

No problem good luck trading!

Again if anyone or you find a bug, or add a new API market, send in a pull request and I will test it and add it to the main client.

Thanks for the sources!

Why do you retire?

Thanks for the sources!

Why do you retire?

No problem! Because my strategies weren't being profitable anymore and I don't have time to work on new strategies, so I decided to focus on my other project rather than this.

Did your btc-e implementation work until recently? Mine has stopped working now...

Invalid sign ... guess they modified their api again ...

It does look like it isn't working, I am going to see if I can fix it today or tomorrow.

Any chance you could release a sample arbitrage strategy?

[daybyter]

Arb on one exchange? That's simple: usd => btc => ltc => usd on btc-e as an example.

Using 2 exchanges:

Yeah this bot wasn't made for arbitrage thru many exchanges, it is meant to only run one exchange at a time, I just packaged the api's together since I would run multiple instances of the bot one per exchange. Mostly bitstamp and mtgox

Gweedo, Btc-E API v3 seems to be the problem (thanks to Jasmin68K for the hint):

https://btc-e.com/api/3/documentation

But I can only find Russian docs at the moment, which I don't understand...

Yeah I saw this, as well as I am waiting for the english version.

But it seems the Trade method is identical to the older versions?

So my older code should still work .. I'm somewhat confused ...

Btw: look how old the v3 announcement is. Don't think it makes sense to wait for a translation.

Thanks, I will take a look.

I mean I will take a look tonight for sure. I know that the current marketapi for btc-e isn't working, I tested so I got to see which part isn't working as should be and replace that. But if anyone wants to open a pull request on this I be more than happy to test it and make sure it is working correctly.

Thanks, I will take a look.

No Problem enjoy!

gweedo, I solved my sign issue. The problem was actually the decimal separator of amounts and prices. I had used ',' before (i.e. 2,35), but btc-e stopped working with that. Now I use '.' (i.e. 2.35) and it works again. Had nothing to do with the encoding of the sign.
