Topic: Automated bitcoin arbitrage - page 2. (Read 18901 times)
Oh man, this is one of those times I wish I was more tech savy
Can this be used to arbitrage on the same exchange, ie mtgox USD/BTC-> BTC/EUR->EUR/USD?
Yes I made some profits. But I had to stop the bot since some markets are sometimes not responding or replying with erroneous data. So I'm currently working at checking exchanges status/responsiveness and verifying trades.
And I need to write more automated tests for this part (like mocking erroneous response, ...)

If you need help of any kind (not a programmer); please feel free to ask.

Thanks for sharing!
Anyone had any real-life profit from this automation yet?

DobZombie, great work!
But why did you share the code? I think more competitors => less arbitraging possibilities. Or am I wrong?

lol, I'm not sharing any code! I'm just testing it
maxme is the genius behind this code
More arbitrage --> more volume for trading bots!
Also the "algorithm" behind arbitrage bots is not really a secret at all, it might be better to get people to code up plugins for various APIs than to keep it a guarded secret. Also moving big amounts of money between exchanges is not trivial and not cheap too...
Thanks for actually open sourcing and releasing a useful and potentially profitable bot.

I'm using the SpecializedTradingBot and it's outputting this...
What confuses me is ...
profit:
2.354073 EUR with volume:
1.000000 BTC -
buy at 62.7999 (MtGoxEUR)
sell at 62.8000 (BitcoinCentralEUR)
~3.75%
Some of those numbers don't add up. Am I missing something?

I tried the traderbotsim in an older build and it didn't work. But I works for me in the recent revision.

The line above is a safeguard, it waits for TraderBot.trade_wait before executing the next trade (this will be removed when websocket order book sync is implemented)

Does this bot require 2 exchanges for trading to happen? If yes is it possible to do trades with only 1?
Yes it requires 2 exchanges. Arbitrage means "buy at X on a market and sell at X+y on another market at the same time".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrage
No, it certainly doesn't require 2 exchanges. There are thousands of people doing cross-currency arbitrage as we write this. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_arbitrage This can be done in a single exchange.
And cross-currency arbitrage is getting quite popular in exchanges with several virtual and fiat currencies, like vircurex and btc-e.
A market is not synonymous with "an exchange". Each exchange has multiple markets (usually): USD-BTC, EUR-BTC, LTC-BTC, etc.
And of course, spot/futures arbitrage

No, it certainly doesn't require 2 exchanges. There are thousands of people doing cross-currency arbitrage as we write this. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_arbitrage This can be done in a single exchange.
And cross-currency arbitrage is getting quite popular in exchanges with several virtual and fiat currencies, like vircurex and btc-e.
A market is not synonymous with "an exchange". Each exchange has multiple markets (usually): USD-BTC, EUR-BTC, LTC-BTC, etc.
Thx for explanations, i understand it after reading a bit more the code.
Also i was thinking of withdraw btc between exchanges place.
Example : buy one btc from bitcoin-central, sell at mtgox, withdraw one btc from bitcoincentral to mtgox 1 btc.
Did you think that a bad idea ?
It ll be more interesting if we can also transfer fund in euros between market, but that s not possible from api.

Also, I'm getting this A LOT

You're doing nothing, wrong. That was my bad, update the code. And yes it come from no-responding websites
Does this bot require 2 exchanges for trading to happen? If yes is it possible to do trades with only 1?
Yes it requires 2 exchanges. Arbitrage means "buy at X on a market and sell at X+y on another market at the same time".

Well, I could trade on MtGox in BTCUSD and BTCEUR if I know EURUSD (or assume EURUSD as static - compared to BTC that might even be true)...
If there's a plugin for other "real" Forex brokers that might even work quite well! Still it might be enough to do fiat trades in bulk after some time, as the volatility is quite different there. Hence it might be possible to trade two currency pairs on the same "market".
