'BTC-e trade API' does not support bitcoin withdrawal?

Please can anyone confirm this?

AFAIK, there is actually an API method for withdrawal, but it's not public. There's also a checkbox to enable withdrawal for API keys, but you cannot use it. I've written some code, that parses the website, but it needs testing, and I have to deal with other features first.

its to stop all of these close-sourced bot makers from using their bots as trojans to steal funds.

this allows the bots access to funds to place orders (as they should do) but any funds withdrawal should be done manually outside of the trading bot, giving the user full knowledge and consent.

Why would you want to automate withdraws anyways? Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

It's important for bots, that do arbitrage with more than 1 exchange. They check rates on several exchanges and try to buy cheap on one exchange and sell the coins on another exchange.
