Could anyone explain me the proper settings for either XAMP or WAMP?

Thanks in advance


It seems to be working now, though it the php explorer it still states

Code:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in D:\Apps\Wamp\www\bot_mad_livekey.php on line 122

# Time Memory Function Location
1 0.0007 307720 {main}( ) ..\bot_mad_livekey.php:0
2 0.0007 310592 main_loop( ) ..\bot_mad_livekey.php:283
3 29.8922 822544 order_book( ) ..\bot_mad_livekey.php:199


Which is:

Code:
$orders = file_get_contents('https://btc-e.com/api/2/' . $pair . '/depth');

So it probably stalls on getting the order_book as stated before

Maybe this extra information helps somebody to find the solution?

I`ll put up a bounty of 0.01BTC for the one that is able to fix it

Pulling the order books doesn't require curl. Curl is used later in the program.

I don't know anything about XAMPP setup.

Code looks like mine.

I think your XAMPP is screwed up. I asked you about it before. Getting the order books is the simple part of accessing BTC-e. Since the bot is tripping up on that, there is probably an issue with your configs.

I did not make any changes as far as i can remember:

Also, if I just enter the link in my URL it puts out the specific data I need, therefore i`m quite confused what the problem might be

This is my complete code:


Code:

// Trade API settings
$key 'Deletedddd'// your API-key
$secret 'Deleteddddd'// your Secret-key

// Limits for trading size (BTC)
// Setting the increment too small will have a negative effect on speed
$min_amount 0.01;
$max_amount 0.06;
$increment 0.002;

// Minimum profit in percent
// Must be higher than BTC-E fee * 3 to be profitable
$min_profit 1.0;

// Margin of price
// Trades will be executed this much higher/lower to make "sure" they go through
// 1.05 = 5 % and so on
$price_margin 1.05;

// Delay between requests (ms), check with BTC-E how high value they allow
// setting this too high could cause BTC-E to potentially block the bot.
$delay 300;

// Specify a minimum time between 2 trades (s). Whenever an inbalance between prices exists
// we want to quickly execute the FIRST trade, but let other arbitrage bots (with bigger balances)
// clean up the rest. Otherwise there seems to be big risk for losing trades.
$time_between_trades 10;
$last_trade_time 0;

Did you make any changes? If so, post the code here.

Is your XAMPP setup correctly? Have you used it successfully with any other programs.

I`ve been trying to get this bot to work though it keeps spitting out the same error:

Code:
Warning: file_get_contents(https://btc-e.com/api/2/btc_usd/depth): failed to open stream: Invalid argument in D:\Apps\XAMPP\bot.php on line 118

Public API error: Connection error

My IP is not blacklisted or anything, it still pumps out values.

Does anyone know how this could be fixed?

With best regards,
Tim

Greetings!

Nice script. Thanks for sharing it.

It's been a while since BTC-e, Vircurex and Cryptsy added some more altcoins.

BTW, is it possible to add automated (triangular and 2-currency) arbitrage for altcoins pairs (LTC/BTC; NMC/BTC; PPC/BTC; XPM/BTC etc.)?

Keep up the good work!

so how do I implement this/?
You need PHP and curl installed then put your BTC-E API key at the appropriate place in the code.

100ms? That is crazy ... I never used intervals < 15s in my bots.

It might work for you now, but if all those hundreds of bots switch to such a scheme, the website is blocked ...

100ms on my home connection is over 300ms in reality.

Agreed - not too hard to fix.

After I was white-listed, I hit them harder with no issues. You just need to ask to be white-listed.

It's easy to fix so it will never time-out on an error but it might give unwanted results. Like I said in my second post you need to adjust the timing so BTC-E won't ban your IP. Mine got banned temporarily a couple time before I got the settings right. It will vary depending on your connection, it wasn't the same on my home connection vs a VPS. Officialy they say once every 10 minutes but if I remember right I was able to use 300ms on my VPS and 100ms on my home connection.

Would anyone be interested in posting the results of running this script for some amount of time? (I'm thinking minimum 3 days).

Notes on what kind of balancing is necessary will be helpful as well.

You want me to test for 3 days and share my settings and results? NO

I will share this.

1. As is, the program will time out long before 3 days. The code that pulls the books will error out. I have run it on few hosted systems and they both timed out (one lasted a lot longer).

2. You will end up blacklisted at btc-e if you hit them too hard. Open a support ticket and they can whitelist your IP.

I have made another bot that checks multiple paths (based on this ->https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/btc-e-php-currency-arbitrage-bot-full-code-196313) but I still use this one. This one found a profitable trade path yesterday.
