Hello MasterX!

Thanks for your reply about BTC-Trader. Well using different MtGox keys would be possible. Lets say you have 4 different API keys. I can change BTC-Trader to use 4 different password protected 7z-files in order to handle several API-Keys. Each key will be saved in another 7z file. For example: user01pw.7z, user02pw.7z, user03pw.7z and user04pw.7z

Then one user can handle several different API-Keys or you can even have different API-Keys for different users.

About the window mode:
Personally I like this fullscreen mode, because this way you will have maximum space for your objects on the screen. This mode is best, if your screen resolution is equal to the one of BTC-Trader. However it is sometimes annoying, if you have to tab out of the application several times! And if your screen resolution is higher than the one of BTC-Trader a windowed version of BTC-Trader would be desireable, because this small screen inside a large one looks kind of poor.

It's not a great effort to compile a windowed version. Lets start with one test-version. What screen resolution would you prefer for your windowed version of BTC-Trader?

About the charts:
Well, I don't exactly know yet how to implement charts into BTC-Trader. It may be some effort. What charts are you thinking about? Something like mtgoxlive.com/orders ?

But I also have another idea regarding the Bitinstant arbitrage: I use an Excel file to calculate if a Bitinstant transfer from MtGox to BTC-e would be profitable. I would like it to have this kind of calculator function integrated into BTC-Trader. This is my idea about a new function in BTC-Trader.

Andreas
Hello Andreas,

I do use most of my programs in full screen, but windowed full screen.
I would suggest to build a 1920x1080 version, as that's the version i use mainly.

As for the "self made keys" i meant, the mtgox key, as in "redeem key" or "withdraw key", not the api key, but multi user support would be nice also now that you've mentioned it;
Like for example to store the last 5 or 10 mtgox keys until they become invalid after the have been used.
Now when you generate a mtgox key (withdraw) it stays in the upper text field.
The idea is when opening that page the next time, or when generating another key, the key would move on tho the next text field, so it wont get lost and saved in the ini file under "MtGoxCode02=" instead of overwriting "MtGoxCode01=" with the last key generated.

For charts, i would suggest to choose for the most common chart type used in forex trading, "Chineese Candle Stick Charts" or eventually "bar charts" for example:

image source: http://stephansmithfx.com/explanations/technical-analysis/

But i suppose therefore we need to store tick data somehow, could be on a server or local.
I was thinking about local data in the first place.
Wish would mean that chart data will not be available when starting up the application for the first time.
This i think, could only be accomplished if we let the application run 24/7, we would have gaps and false results if we close the application often, the data would be unreliable.
So i suppose the only option left is to have a tick data server wish serves as caching proxy for the data pulled from mtgox.

As for the idea about the excel calculator file, i saw you using it on one of the video's, that indeed would be nice to have it integrated.

MasterX

Hello MasterX!

I already did the 1600 x 900 pixel window version of BTC-Trader. The others will follow.

Please note, that your screen resolution should exceed the one of BTC-Trader, if you want to use the window version.

Best regards

Andreas

Thank you, i'll test it right away.

Good night!

Hello MasterX!

This is something strange I experience every night! When I still had daylight saving time here in Germany, this time of the day always had been after midnight! For about 15-30 minutes all API calls fail and BTC-Trader doesn't work properly. You can use the MtGox web interface during this time.

I don't know why this is so, but every night it is like this! You can't use BTC-Trader during this time!

However, after 20-30 minutes everything works fine again. I guess, that every night there might be a kind of MtGox API maintenance. I submitted a support request to MtGox support this night. Let's wait for their answer. I am curious about this, too!

But I know this problem well, since I experience it every night, too.

Just try again about every 10 minutes and you will know how long it lasts this time.

Best regards

Andreas
Hi Andreas,

Alright!, thanks for the info, it is indeed working right now.
Last night i tried 2 times with the new 1920x1080 as well as with the 1280x720 version and it acted both the same way, so i went to bed...
Today, i tried and it worked, just like you have said.

Wouldn't it be nice to have some sort of basket for self made mtgox keys?
I just almost lost a key, later i realized that i could just go and grab the key from the mtgox website, but it would be very handy to keep some sort of log inside the application.

Also, i don't know if this is even possible with mediator, but it would be nice to be able to open the application in windowed mode., because even when someone downloads a smaller screen size version of the program, it will open in full screen with black boards on the side and top and bottom.

Another thing i'm missing in the application are charts,  it would be cool to see a chart somewhere around the tick data window, as we humans can better visualize a chart than tick data.

Anyway, keep up the good work, i really like the application and i am shore i'm not the only one!

Cheers,
MasterX

Hi Andreas,

I was trying to reproduce the situation as the one showed in your axample trading video, but i cant seem to find how to put in my btc-e accountinfo.
If i fill the info (account username) and click BTC-e, i always get the error: "Please choose a destination for your funds first" right after clicking on "Bitinstant - New Order".

Is there anything i should do before this can work?
Like for example, the first time i opened that page i got "Error! Cannot read BTC-e Username data!"
As i do not have filled in the info for the other exhanges, the same type of error message is filled in all of the username fields.


Any help on how to set this up would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
MasterX
Me again,

I think i may have found the problem, however i did not find the solution for it yet.
The problem is that (witch ever button i click) the data does not get filled in the grey text boxes.
The boxes i mean are the ones witch are shown in the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq2devvvyrg&feature=youtu.be)  on 0:50 / 1:50.

Is there any logical explanation for this?

Hello MasterX,

Bitinstant was down for two days. In these time they made changes to their API functions. If a Bitinstant transfer to BTC-e will work or not is decided by the Bitinstant Reserves on BTC-e (please refer to Picture 2). The old API didn't check for available funds and simply provided a quote. The problem had been, that the funds were deposited at the Bitinstant account, but the user couldn't get the funds (minus the fee) back on BTC-e site, because reserves were not sufficient any more. Usually failed transfers enter a queue and the funds will be paid to the user BTC-e account when the new reserves arrive. Otherwise users had to wait until Bitinstant support fixed this problem manually.

The behaviour of the new Bitinstant API is different:
If reserves on BTC-e are not sufficient, you will get an error message from Bitinstant API: "Cannot accept order at present".
These changes are fairly new and so I had to adapt BTC-Trader, too. In the new version of BTC-Trader, I already fixed this problem. Just refer to the "BTC-Trader News" at the website. If BTC-Trader will get an error message back from the Bitinstant API, this error message will be shown in BTC-Trader now (please refer to Picture 1). Please download the new version of BTC-Trader from the Download area. It will be sufficient to overwrite only BTC-Trader.exe. In doing so you will keep all the settings in your BTC-Trader.INI file.

I hope, that your problem is fixed now. Please don't hesitate to contact me, if there is still some problem.

Best regards

Andreas



Picture 1 : If Bitinstant API gives back an error message, this error message will also be shown in the new version of BTC-Trader.



Picture 2 : On the lower right of BTC-e website the Bitinstant reserves are shown.

Ok, thank you!

I downloaded the new version, replaced the executable in the folder.
However, now i have a different problem, right after i login to the program i get this error message:



When i try to enter a wrong password it shows me that i'm using an incorrect password, so that part is working at least.

Do i need to re-apply the api key or aniyhing else?

I already checked the ini file and everything seems correct.
The file inside user01pw.7z also still looks fine.

Some of these posts are hysterical.  Grin my name is Felix. I am absolutely thrilled about the concept of bitcoin and the universe that is being created right before our very eyes. I am not a developer/programmer myself but a partner in a firm that creates financial trading software. I am also a professional trader and run a proprietary trading group, we trade equities. I would love to build a discussion on bitcoin surrounding liquidity and what will happen should it dry up. What will happen should a-all bitcoins are bought out or b- bitcoins reach their limit of issue? now if a government did want to intervene they can buy up all stock with printed dollars that costed them nothing to print in the first place. maybe I am not understanding something, hopefully someone can point out where i can find this answer because i am sure it was thought of.

Hello everyone, I'm Grant. I got started in business around 15 years ago; creating, running, and eventually selling a moderately successful online branding/marketing firm. For the past eight years I have worked in private equity. My partners and I hope to recruit some of the brightest minds in cryptography to help us develop world class financial services and other tools to advance and grow bitcoin... helping make it practical for the masses while maintaining the principals of anonymity, decentralization, and security.

I look forward to meeting and working with a lot of members of this board... the future is being built on these pages as we speak. I have been considering the move into investing in bitcoin for over a year. I'm now completely convinced as to the potential it has; the opportunity is there for it to become a widely used, global alternative currency.

Thanks, Andreas. I'll check it out sometime. Saving time (if trustworthy) is worth it.

Hello mechabtc,

hope, that you will find the time. If there is any question about the software, please don't hesitate to contact me at [email protected].

I really worked hard to create this software. And if you trade Bitcoins on a regularly basis, you will easily earn the profit to pay the license fee.

New MtGox trading client for Windows available - BTC-Trader at mybtc-trader.com

Hello,

my name is Andreas and I developed a MtGox Bitcoin Trading client software. All the development took about one year since I had been working on my own. But now the software has many functions implemented and it very convenient in its use. BTC-Trader is capable of using all MtGox API functions with some additional features!

My website is https://www.mybtc-trader.com.

Do you believe, that you can transfer 2 BTC on MtGox to 2 BTC on BTC-e within a minute? Impossible? For BTC-Trader is is not!

To demonstrate the power of BTC-Trader, I made a Youtube video. But please take a look at the steps performed in the video first in order to understand what is going on in this video:

1. Sell Bitcoins on MtGox site to get USD funds.
2. Use the USD funds on MtGox for creation of a MtGox coupon code.
3. Creation of a Bitinstant quote with a mouse click.
4. Execution of a Bitinstant transfer to BTC-e Bitcoin exchange.
5. Checking the Bitinstant API response for retrieval of funds.
6. Purchasing Bitcoins on BTC-e exchange.

All this processes are performed in just 50 seconds. If you don't believe it, take a look at this video: http://youtu.be/Bq2devvvyrg

In order to proof that this software is trustworthy I bought an SSL certificate with enhanced validation from Geotrust. To get this really cool certificate it took me about two months. But now I have this green bar in the address field of your browser and I hope, that you can trust my BTC-Trader now!

Take a look at my website and give it a try. The first ten users, who will request a serial via email, will get a two weeks license for free!

You can leave me a message in the "BTC-Trader Chat" on my website.

Best regards

Andreas

hi there i am from England and i am on a mission to open a UK payment gateway, with very similar services that bitinstant offer. UK currency to bitcoin at reasonable rates and also withdrawl to prepaid visa debit cards so that people and merchants can easily accept crypto-currency, while still having standard UK pounds to hand.

i have already listed my project on BTCJam and looking to get started soon. which is linked here.
https://btcjam.com/listings/166 here is the proposal.

first stage is getting the bank transfers into BTC rolling. i already have a business bank account prepped. just need the customers and the first 150BTC to use for customers. which i then use their funds to purchase new coins. and rinse and repeat into profit and repaying the loan. once i have repaid the loan i become more self sufficient and expand my holdings and then once i have a sufficient stash of both BTC and UK pounds i can then offer to give the UK pounds back via pre-paid debit cards in exchange for BTC.

Thus not requiring outside exchanges as one person cashing out gives me their BTC which will then fund someone else cashing in.

eventually getting fee's down to minimal percentage far lower then other operators offer.

my other agenda is to get merchants and real world businesses offering legitimate products to use my service so that i can increase the bitcoin population in England.
