I can't really use this bot now with the API issues. I leave it for a few hours and it loses connection with MTgox and it hangs until I restart my browser or click 'Save and apply settings'. However, If I have missed a crossover, I dont want to do this because if I reset it'll immediately buy in (because it re-establishes a connection and realizes I should have sold hours ago) at that price which is not the best idea.
V2 needs to come out soon!
Hi BTC
,
The situation with Mt. Gox has come to a head and we take this very seriously. Although this is not a software design issue but rather a Mt. Gox issue. A lot of times it has also turned out to be an interfering app and not necessarily the Gox API.
We will be releasing Beta versions of V2 late next week. We have rewritten the bots code in it's entirety and we have also implemented a significant server side component, these and other features will seriously mitigate any issues with Mt. Gox as well as implement BTC-E trading for anyone who wants to deal with another exchange.
The way V2 works is that the bot code you are running on your browser, gets it's information from our server instead of the Gox API directly. The server will maintain a clean connection to the bot at all times and when the API drops the server will periodically try to reestablish connection and when it does it will feed the latest data to your bot to execute it's trading. This will all be entirely transparent to the user and should eliminate the dropped connection warnings and the need to reset the bot in it's entirety.
I want to make clear that the code we will be releasing next week will not be the final code or look of the V2 release, but it will be a significant improvement over what we have now.
Anyone who would like access to the Beta version, please drop me an email to
[email protected]. We would like to try to limit this Beta to people who are having issues with trading since this is not the final version of the V2 release.
After V2 is officially released, we will be developing and releasing exciting and free upgrades before V3; including the ability to back test your strategy based on historical settings
.
If anyone has any questions, please contact me at
[email protected] and I will take care of you promptly.
Again, I would like to apologize for this inconvenience. It is not an issue of our making, but we will take responsibility for it and we will make it work for our customers.
Pablo
