In reference to bots:
I get why so many people don't like them but honestly that whole tactic of trading with yourself may sound stupid; yeah you may lose fees in the process but your also causing other bots to trigger their preset buy/sell price ranges and hopefully gaining from it. Shit you might even trigger some human emotion and have someone buy up or sell out their own stash.
Bots are quite useful in any exchange/trading scenario. My personal fave:
https://github.com/adlai/scalpl ..... there are also several other well-written and extensible bots with altcoin support, but scalpl is relatively easy to tinker with to your liking, since it is written in lidp.
Anyone who wants to get a flavor for how trade bots work, but don't feel comfortable programming their own, checkout
Sampey's CAT trade bot. I leave it running to close certain markets. It just sits there minting bitcoin a few hundred/thousand sats at a time on simple ping pong orders. Some days I set more aggressively, but unattended and overnight, I just play it simple. Here's some of the stats from a very conservative overnight on markets where I try to keep the spread reasonable.
Cool thing is that Sampey will accept UNO payments for CAT. Its well supported, simple, and if you don't get too greedy its not very difficult to make money. It runs on quite a few exchanges, including Cryptopia (yes it does all of the UNO markets), Bittrex, Polo, C-cex, and, etc, etc.
