[ANNOUNCE] Cryptocoin trader - free beta

[Kilzeus]

OLD THREAD. NEW THREAD https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=429993.0

Cryptocoin trader is a program that interfaces with exchanges and allows you to easily trade in them. It brings to the table more customization, data visualization and a user friendly interface. The program is under development and the current version only has support for Btc-e, but more exchanges will be added in the future. Price history and current volume data visualization available. I have been working on this program during the spring and summer as a little side project. The program is coded in Java. The reason why i am releasing this development version is to get input on which exchanges to add and what features you think are needed. I have not been active on forums but have some experience trading cryptos. I have a private enterprise named Kilzeus software which is a one man operation right now. Website is under construction. To address any doubts you may have about the software maybe some long-time respectable member of the community would kindly spend a little time to test this?

NOTICE: the program has been tested but since it is a beta-version some bugs may exist. It is probably a good idea to create a new user account at Btc-e to test the trading functionality. As always use of this software happens on your own risk!

Be advised that the program will get the price history and the list of currency pairs from api.kilzeus.com . This is not an attempt to steal your api-keys! They are stored encrypted on your hard-drive and will only be decrypted when the program is running. Your secret key is never sent anywhere and your api-key is only sent to Btc-e when needed!

Language support is at the moment limited to English and Finnish.

Please post here your questions, experiences, ideas and any bugs you find with the program so it can be made even better in the future!

Requirements:

Java 7 with JavaFX 2.2 ( JavaFX comes bundled with newest Java ). The program has been tested on Windows 7 and 8, so no
guarantees on linux operability. If it works with linux please let me know.

Downloads:
*removed download links for the old version. Please download the new one from https://kilzeus.com/index.php/store . You can find the link by clicking on the product icon. No registration is needed.

Just unzip and double-click on the "CryptocurrencyTrader.jar"-file.

documenting the api would enable some trust!

[Kilzeus]

Thanks for the first question!

api.kilzeus.com has basically only two functions, one to get the currency pairs and one for the price history. Output will be in json-format. A cron job is used to get price data from Btc-e at every two minutes. Currency pairs are updated manually.
A list of tradable currency pairs at Btc-e can be retrieved by calling http://api.kilzeus.com/btc-e_currencypairs.php?exchange=BTC-E .
To get the price history a call is made to http://api.kilzeus.com/btc-e_pricehistory.php?currencypair=ltc_btc&date=1376161200 where currencypair argument is the currency pair you want to get the history for, and date is the unix timestamp of the earliest data you want to get.

I will also update the manual with this information.

Edit: manual updated.

I also code java trading stuff. Maybe this implementation helps you:

[Kilzeus]

Thanks, I will definitely look into that! Btw what license is your project using?

[daybyter]

Hmmh...good question. I just donated my sources to the openbitcointrader project, so I didn't actually release the sources, but IIRC it's MIT.

Do you need a specific license?

[Kilzeus]

I think the MIT license should be fine.

[daybyter]

I want to support the openbitcointrader project, but it seems a bit dead at the moment. If you need support, maybe we can share some sources, or so. I'm mainly interested in bot trading, so the manual trading stuff needs some love here anyway...

[Kilzeus]

This project focus is definitely on manual trading. I will consider sharing or releasing the sources for the exchange connections in the future but the code will need a lot of commenting and cleaning up right now.

dead ? any updates ?

[Kilzeus]

Greetings! Definitely not dead. You can find the thread for newer versions at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=429993.0 . The name has changed slightly but the program is basically an evolved version of this. You can download the new version from https://kilzeus.com/index.php/store .
