BTC-E + GOX Rolling bot, Rocking bot, Trading bot, Full-Code

[miaviator]

most probably i'm missing something...
at the beginning of the script i define $key and $secret but i'm still having

Code:

Array ( [success] => 0 [error] => api key not specified ) Error pulling data. Error #: 1

key and secret are for gox

btceKey and btceSecret are for btce

[Voodah]

Interesting. I'll try this out when I've got more time.

Hi,
can you explain me the initial setup please?

I have already changed the basic information: "exchange, btcekey btcesecret, gox key and secret".
I have started the script from shell and this is the output (after 20 minutes):

Code:

This is my config:

Code:

$DEBUG = TRUE; //Should the program Print Debug information
$simulate = FALSE; //RUNS IN SIMULATION MODE, NO TRADES ARE MADE just PRINT OUTPUT
$exchange = "E"; //Pick an exchange to run on
$ENGINE = "M";

$microSellDivisor = 10; //number of Sell orders to place

$microIteration = .5;//USD$ iteration for multiple orders
$microAmount = .001; //Amount of BTC per mini buy/sell round
$microProfit = .0005; //The profit threshold, this is the minimum profit per trade to make,
$microStopLoss = 1; //The stop loss percent, Sell out at a loss
$microReBuy = .10; //The price change to rebuy after a loss

My balance in the exchanges:

MTGOX: 0.00 BTC - USD: 0.00

I do not understand where I'm wrong because it is not made any transaction:

I'm sorry for newbie questions

[miaviator]

My balance in the exchanges:
BTC-E: 0.0083 BTC - USD: 0.00

You can't trade .0083 on BTC-E as defined here:

Code:

$minBidBTC = .01; //Minimum Bids the exchange will accept (BTC-E Mins)

The exchange minimum may have changed?  If that's the case you can just change this definition to .001.

Ok, thank you!
The exchange minimum haven't changed.

[macioman]

I don't understand this:

Code:

if ($exchange == "E") $exchangeCommision = .002; //The exchange commision percent (as 1 - commision as decimal)

At the moment, the fee for transactions is 0.2% and not 0.002%.

I don't understand this:

Code:

if ($exchange == "E") $exchangeCommision = .002; //The exchange commision percent (as 1 - commision as decimal)

At the moment, the fee for transactions is 0.2% and not 0.002%.

Correct. That value is decimal not percentage.  That comment is likely outdated

[macioman]

This is my final question ... I promise 
My engine setting is: Micro-roll engine
Why stoploss has not intervened? -> Difference: BTC:0.02 USD:-17.81 Rate:-48.01

I too am in awe of the line

Code:

while ( 'the answer to life the universe and everything' != '41'){

There's a reason it says "Begin Infinite Loop" above it. That statement you copy and pasted is always going to be true so the loop will continue until the user kills the script.


@miaviator - why not add this to GIT so developers can contribute and make it better?

I am fully baffled by the question.  There is no reason why this and my last bot shouldn't be on git.

There you go.

Oh hey!

Yes, I have used this bot on BTC-e with some success.

[SportsBet]

Extra kudos for...

Code:

while ( 'the answer to life the universe and everything' != '41'){

It should be '42'

[miaviator]

You are correct.

The loop is While the answer to life the universe and everything is not equal to 41.  Which as we all know it is not. It is equal to 42.  So the loop runs forever.

I get bored with while true and while 1=1 loops.

i was running from xampp. it didnt work, got it running under linux, but i want it to get running under windows.
So i installed php5.5.11 enabled the curl plugin but i get the same error as above, only not the maximum exectution time, so it keeps saying error pulling data for ever
Any ideas?

it is your php settings. you already proved to yourself the script is fine by getting it to work in linux.

[miaviator]

I'm surprised that API still exists.
