Technically I could take back pairs of LONG and SHORT, but as you're reducing market liquidity and get your dividend / payout before others, I would have to take a small fee on this (e.g. 0.0198 instead of 0.02). But at the moment bid / ask spreads are still too big for this to make sense.
My idea was to set up a bot to catch all out-of-place orders, i.e. those which are combined - fee > 0.02. This actually would fill orders and correct the price, though it's only a tiny profit fraction most likely each time and it would be unfavorable to wait the complete timeframe till dividend payout. But I agree, this basically reduces the freefloat.
At least 2 people run such bots on DMS - and I have no doubt they'll run them here if/when volume reaches a level justifying it. On DMS the bots go further than that - with orders up on SELLING such that if they fill the bot can then sell MINING and make a small profit by buying PURCHASE then splitting it.
You're a few months behind what already happens where there's volume basically.
I wonder who the other guy is ^^
Anyway, there isn't that much more profit left in DMS arbitrage on the path that Deprived mentioned. The last few days my bot has had an order up less than half the time, since the expected profit is below the threshold I specified (and often below zero, which is kind of an important threshold too
). Adjusting the bot to work on ET.DIFF is 2 minutes work at this point.
