Hi again,
previous auction was successful - see here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=336368.0, so here we go once again. Since that time, the software I am offering here made me another good bunch of money while lowering my the risk.
Auction rulesStarting price: 0.025 BTC
Smallest price increment: 0.005 BTC
Auction ends with the counter above.
Winning bids are binding.
Escrow? Possible, if you need it, you arrange the deal and pay fees. Must be super trusted like JohnK. Mutual agreement on the guy is needed.
The winner gets nonexclusive copy of the tool.
No PM bids accepted for this auction.
If you are interested in modifications of this tool, do not post in this auction. This auction is only for the tool as described below. If you are interested in some modification of it, let me know in PM what would you need and include your offer in BTC too.
LicenseBy bidding you agree that if you win, you will not be allowed to sell the tool to other persons, you just get a license to use the tool for yourself. You will be allowed to modify the source code and add new features, but not to sell my code or its parts. Thanks for understanding.
GuaranteeThe tool is being sold as is. I use it for myself, that is its primary purpose of existence. I just thought that someone might be interested in this too, so that could make me some extra satoshis. I really can not guarantee you any additional coding work in the future for 0.01 BTC and similar amounts. It just works now. It would need update only if MtGox changes their API. I might be able to make that change for you in the future if that happens, but not free of charge.
However,
I offer you updates in case it stops working within 30 days after purchase. If MtGox changes their API in 30 days from purchase, you will get update for free so that you can use the tool again. If I fail to give you that update within 14 days of your request, you get your money back.
So, what is being sold?For my own trading I have coded a tool in C#, I am using it daily, works well for me, so maybe someone would also find it handy. I will give you the source code so that you can be sure that the tool is what you expect and not something ugly that would steal your BTC. If you are interested I can give you the binary too, but this is not very smart idea unless you really trust me ...
This tool is for Windows - Vista and higher for sure, probably XP SP3 too - the only requirement is .NET 4 (*nix systems might have Mono or Wine, but I am not familiar with it and I do not know if my program runs under Mono or Wine; if you are *nix user, it is completely your risk to bid in this auction, you might end with a thing you might not be able to use on your non-Windows system; however, if you use VirtualBox or VMware with Windows, it would work for sure) and you run it like this:
Code:
btc.exe FILE
FILE is a simple TXT file that you create with your favorite text editor. It looks like this:
Code:
{
"Action": "CancelOrders",
"Count": "0",
"BasePrice": "0",
"BaseAmount": "0",
"PriceFormula": "0",
"AmountFormula": "0"
}
or like this:
Code:
{
"Action": "Buy",
"Count": "50",
"BasePrice": "299.8400",
"BaseAmount": "0.01",
"PriceFormula": "[Price] - 0.9",
"AmountFormula": "[Amount] + ([Counter] + 1) * 0.001"
}
or with Action set to "Sell", obviously. This is JSON format of input.
Now what it does. If action is "CancelOrders" it just cancel all your MtGox orders. It goes one by one and with a small delay between two requests, it sends cancel order request to MtGox. This is handy if you have more than 10 orders and need to cancel them. All other input parameters are ignored in case of "CancelOrder" action.
Much more interesting are "Buy" and "Sell" actions. In their case other parameters are useful too.
Count paramter is a number of orders you would like to create. I use 50-70 here, but this is entirely up on you. Could be 1, could be 100. I am not sure whether MtGox has any limit here, but up to 70 it is tested and works fine.
BasePrice is simply the price of the first order, for which you want to Buy/Sell BTC.
BaseAmount is the amount of BTC of the first order you want to Buy/Sell.
PriceFormula is how the price is changed with each order. So, if the BasePrice is 100 and you have your PriceFormule set to "[Price] - 1.00" then the first order's price will be 100, second will be 99, third 98 etc. You can use some variables here like [Price] and [Counter]. [Price] is simply the price of your last order. [Counter] goes from 1 up to the value of your Count parameter, incremented by 1 after placing an order.
Similarly AmountFormula is how your Amount is being changed. Here you can use variables [Amount] and [Counter].
It might be more clear to have an example. So let's try this. I create "config-buy-test.txt" and run "btc.exe config-buy-test.txt". The configuration file looks like this:
Code:
{
"Action": "Buy",
"Count": "5",
"BasePrice": "100.00",
"BaseAmount": "0.01",
"PriceFormula": "[Price] - 0.50",
"AmountFormula": "[Amount] + [Counter] * 5 * 0.001"
}
The result is here (snapshot taken some time ago, MtGox looks different now, but the tool works without change with the new interface too):
As you can see, we started on price 100 USD/BTC and amount 0.01 BTC. Then we altered your Price by formula
Price := [Price] - 0.5
so the second order has its price set to 99.5. The amount formula is
Amount := [Amount] + [Counter] * 5 * 0.001
which is after first order:
Amount := 0.01 + 1 * 5 * 0.001 = 0.015
Third order is Price := 99.5 - 0.5 = 99.0
and Amount := 0.015 + 2 * 5 * 0.001 = 0.015 + 0.01 = 0.025
and so on.
