but really, I see it all the time: you can buy 1 BTC in USD market, then sell it in EUR market - and have some profit, even after paying for the EUR->USD currency exchange (which is cheap on forex and can be automated).
and of course it works both ways: sometimes you can buy 1BTC in EUR market and sell in USD with a profit...
plus, there are of course other currencies...
i see huge money there - at least until someone will invent a bot to consume it
if I knew that nobody is inventing this bot ATM, I'd probably start writing it myslef... Smiley

No, it does not play the different currencies.
well. then it should.... Smiley
there is much bigger money to win.
I would rather it not. The scalper simply does arbitrage, which a computer can do fairly safely.
Playing at different currencies involves many more variables that puts our money at higher risks. This would be an interesting separate service.

i don't think there is so much money to get from this inter-exchange differences.
adding huge deposits wont help us to get more - it can only increase your part from the total profit.
and here comes the question: why would anyone want as many deposits as possible, if the market is actually limited and he obviously isn't able to utilize an unlimited amount in this way?

Sure go for it, you just need exponentially more capital and BTC on hand with every exchange dealing with such vast currency values.

the initial capital is not a problem.
I could as well start with my own 100 eur, 100 usd an 100 btc.
the software is the problem - I down want to waste my time on writing something that someone is going to invent before me anyway Smiley

If its so profitable and you are able to do it yourself then it would be silly not to design it for yourself.

Something that is profitable is never a waste of time.

Exactly.
And if I knew answers to that questions, I'd probably never even have mentioned it on a forum. Smiley
Is it profitable enough? - this is the question Smiley

It really depends on how much you tune it, but I'll tell you something: even if you implement everything correctly, if you only arbitrage you will not earn much. A single day can ruin your efforts for the whole month (i.e. bitcoin price can drop 50% all of a sudden).

People have been doing arbitrage for several months now (myself included) so this is not really new. And obviously bitscalper can't make 5% everyday. The bitcoin market works more like this: in a couple of days each month you have tons of arbitrage opportunities. During the rest of the time, the market usually sits quiet.

Their exact claim is:  "When the right opportunities windows are open, Bitscalper is able to generate as much as 5% daily with very small and easily accountable risks"

So, they are not claiming to make 5% per day, in fact the above claim basically promises that they will make less than that.

During the time I have had my account they have show daily gains less than 5% - exactly what is expected from the above claim.  It looks like over the last week daily gains averaged about 0.6%, right?

Now the question:  Is that resonable for an arbitrage system?

Our family was terrorized by Homeland Security.  Read all about it here:  http://www.jmwagner.com/ and http://www.burtw.com/  Any donations to help us recover from the $300,000 in legal fees and forced donations to the Federal Asset Forfeiture slush fund are greatly appreciated!

I would say anything more than 0% is free money as long as its secure (so far bitscalper been acting quite active so most of the scam fear is gone)

Now the daily earnings avg would have been higher if we didnt have downtime for most of the weekend, we missed some good arb chances unfortunately.

Another question is: if you put in twice more money - is it going to stay at 0.6%, or is it going to down twice as well?
I would go for the latter in this choice Smiley

The point of arbitrage is that its a zero risk game if done properly so no you cant ruin yourself in a day.

The only way to effectively arb is to keep track of how many BTC/USD shifting you need to do, how reliable is the output from exchange volume/walls however if you keep the shifting small enough there is literally 0 risk. All that happens is buying BTC at low exchange and selling the same amount of BTC at the high exchange thus making $x on the shift and still having exact same amount of BTC afterwards however gaining $ out of the deal.

so i think that's why he used the term  "tune it"
if you want to win more in such game - you might need to tune it with a small risk.
especially if there are other players on the market Smiley

I am not saying that 0.6% per day is not attractive - it is very attractive.  I am asking if that a resonable return that would be expected from a system of this type - from other's experience.  If it is still too high then possible ponzi scam.  If it is in the ballpark then all is good with the world.

All that happens is buying BTC at low exchange and selling the same amount of BTC at the high exchange thus making $x on the shift and still having exact same amount of BTC afterwards however gaining $ out of the deal.

The problem is that you need to keep ~50% of your balance in bitcoins in order to do these trades. So, for example, in November the bitcoin price dropped around 50% in one day. If you were doing arbitrage without additional security measures, you would've lost 25% of your money (in fiat). I believe that the fact that bitscalper pays in bitcoins and not in USD is also part of the strategy to defend agains such drops.

Regarding 0.6% a day, yes it is acceptable. If I consider arbitrage alone I don't make as much, but bitscalper probably trades in much more markets than I do (and they probably have a better system).

5% every day would more than like have been ponzi however at the rates being paid out its more inline with being legit. That said anything bitcoin related could end up a ponzi from what we have experienced in 2011 but so far bitscalper seems fairly legit Smiley

Now thats the flaw in your logic, when you arb the focus is allways on taking the edge from the $ earned on arbitrage between exchanges on the same volume of BTC.

Lets assume you have (to keep it basic and minimalistic) $100 on all 3 exchanges with volume and also 10BTC on each exchange, that is 30BTC that is BTC you never intend to match at a $ rate since the only $ that matters to you is when you swop 1BTC from exchange 1 with 1BTC at exchange 2.

Arbitrage doesnt care if BTC is worth 50c tomorrow or $10 today just aslong as there is another exchange to swop atleast the same amount of BTC to get a $ edge.

You never lose BTC value, you only gain $ value when done properly. Im not sure why bitscalper pays in BTC , the $ approach is much less sophisticated.
