I am having to compete with trading bots when using the Ripple platform. This happened yesterday on the XNF/XRP exchange. I asked XNF directly whether they were manipulating the price with a bot and they told me that they weren't.
Do I need my own bot to remain competitive when day trading?
Here is the full article and a screen recording of the bot in action.
