Not sure the op made any money in this program. There were a number of bugs that needed to be corrected. And besides unless you can whizz your funds from one exchange to the next in a matter of seconds then there is no way to take advantage of price differentials. Even buying and selling at recommended prices can sometimes be painfully slow and any supposed gains can be quickly wiped out.
Nice try though. Faster exchanges and a few mods could make this a winner. Don't bet on it yet though.
Topic: Python Arbitrage trader for various Exchanges (Read 11516 times)
For all those wanting to get Cryptsy to work take a look at the following code on line 59 in arbitrage_trader.py:
sprice = cryptsy.GetSellPrice(pairpart2, pairpart1)
this should read:
sprice = cryptsy.GetSellPrice(pairpart1, pairpart2)
Simon.
sprice = cryptsy.GetSellPrice(pairpart2, pairpart1)
this should read:
sprice = cryptsy.GetSellPrice(pairpart1, pairpart2)
Simon.
Err - what is your problem? I am trying to fix the code for myself, only I am new and not very good and I want to find out where the integer should be. As the OP requested:
"If you encounter any bugs or wish to have more exchanges, or have any other feature request, tell me"
I won't be angry about any advice so I am confused why you seem to want to warn me off of asking for help.

Than do your self a favor, and do it for your self 
Otherwise you will be angry that you throw your winning out of the window just for a 1-day-fame on a forum.

From my perspective this is an experiment and something I want to continue with
sad, you worked for some trading income, and now you make it public?
Seems that you are more a prgrammer than a trader, because you cut your own profit without need.
This was not a good move for yourself.
Arbitage income is limited. If too much people doing this, it is impossible and doesnt work anymore.
In my expierience, more than 2 arbitage traders and the game doesnt work anymore.

looks like this will end the development - and it was sucha nice tool.
my idea was to hook it up with chinnese exchanges
too late :-(
You already have the programm. You can learn to code, or to trade.
But both skills arent easy when you start from 0.
Anyway be happy what you got for free.
Maybe you have luck and the threadstarter doesnt need/like money so he will continue to offer his updated work results.

Before I added coins-e I saw a different error:
Unhandled exception in thread started by

TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'float'
- which I think means that one of the values is not numeric. Can you help me figure out which & why?

Hi there
Has anyone been using JohnDorien's arbitrage trader? I've been trying to run & it finds some great opportunities, however at the point of buy/sell it errors. This is what I have been seeing - can anyone help me understand why?

May be all of you will interest the coin trade platform here.

Your platform is very nice!
Do you have any plans to offer an english version of it?
Does it calculate and monitor arbitrage opportunities at one or more exchanges?
Success with your software!

Greetings!
Is this still alive and kicking?
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!

It happens quite often. Problem is, to get the money back to the other exchange. Might work best via fiat, if you know a good payment service (I do not... 
)...
)...I've had the impression that arbitrage is only possible among a triangle (or square....) of pairs shaping a cycle, for example BTC/LTC, LTC/XPM, XPM/BTC, or for a pair existing in two different markets (like BTC/$ in MtGox and BitStamp).
But I see that in cryptsy almost all alts are traded against BTC which makes me confused about how your trader is supposed to make any arbitrage trade there. Could you explain this?

not really ... it's possible that LTCBTC on one exchange, LTC is being bought higher than it is being sold on another exchange, just that these opportunities rarely occur
ok i know why crypto-trade is broken .... cos crypto.py is using POST requests to
https://crypto-trade.com/api/1/depth/ltc_btc
which crypto-trade now reject unless it is an unauthenticated GET request...
so the underlying code from matuszed/crypto needs to be fixed to get crypto-trade to work
p.s. no trading opportunities have come up for me so far

How do you get it setup and running with the right APIs for your account?
edit config.py
note i've just checked in an updated config.py that excludes the two exchanges that aren't working from the default configuration
