I'like this bot really!!!! I'hope you will find time to tune the bot ... for giving profit ...

I've figured out it's directly related to changing...
to
Is it possible that increasing the amount of times that the api is checked can induce an response that confounds the bot?
Code:
min_volatility = 1.0
# Min volatility sleep: time in seconds to sleep between min volatility checks when volatility is below threshold
volatility_sleep = 120
Code:
min_volatility = 0.8
# Min volatility sleep: time in seconds to sleep between min volatility checks when volatility is below threshold
volatility_sleep = 90

I'm getting this A LOT. I think it only happens when it attempts to make a buy. bot was working pretty good until this started happening...
Code:
Volatility is 0.84%
Market trending up

Edited thread title to inactive. Other projects have been consuming my time.
That saddens me
Good luck with your other projects though
Thank you. I won't say the project is dead, I may revisit when I have the time to test and tune.
That would be great!! I'm currently learning python just so I can tweak this. Thanks for the code
Looks like you put a decent amount of time into this!A lot of time... I wrote this as a way of writing functional code I was interested in while learning Python basics myself.
A word of warning; most of the code is extremely amateur, and does not follow best practices. Frankly, it's a mess. There are many areas for improvement.
Best of luck! As others have stated, the biggest area of functional improvement is a better source of ticker data.
Thanks for the tip! I'm a first year networking student and have almost no experience with coding. I am basically learning from the ground up. Someone I know who trades 100's of BTC used this bot as a shell for the one that he wrote and he recommended this one to me. I can't even get this to run
I'll get a hang of it though. I hope you don't mind if I message you every once in a while to ask you a question about it October 20, 2013, 01:35:25 AM

If anyone is testing this with PPC_BTC, add the following in trader.py:
def getPip(self):
'''provides correct minimum pip for orders, BTC-e specific'''
pair = self.config.pair
if 'ltc' in pair or 'nmc' in pair or 'ppc' in pair:
return 0.00001
else:
return 0.001
def getPip(self):
'''provides correct minimum pip for orders, BTC-e specific'''
pair = self.config.pair
if 'ltc' in pair or 'nmc' in pair or 'ppc' in pair:
return 0.00001
else:
return 0.001

Anyone else has problems with placing orders on btc_usd?
Sometimes it just does nothing when it says market trending up and sometimes it says not enough usd.

Nice piece of code BUT you really have to fetch candles via bitcoincharts api. The last 150 trades are just a too small timeframe to build MAs on. I tried several options but only loosing money due to wrong signals.
Please consider at least to download the last ~100 hours of tradedata from the bitcoincharts api and calculate hourly close prices.
Then we could use crossing averages strategies on those pseudocandles.

The program is open source. Feel free to make changes. I've long wanted to properly abstract the API portion, but haven't found the time to do so. I will add this to my possible todo list though.
Nice to see you working on this again bud!

Edit: if you'd like to do some testing, uncomment either or both of the following from tapi/trader.py:
#amount = round((balance/rate),3)
#amount = amount - 0.00001
I have uncommented both an get the same againCode:
#amount = round((balance/rate),3)
Code:
#amount = amount - 0.00001
Code:
Volatility is 1.86%
Market trending up
Order returned error:/n You incorrectly entered one of fields.
Signal Spread: 0.73%

No promises, but I'll try to set aside some time to make a few changes.
Edit: if you got the generic "Error parsing trades", that is likely the API failing to respond. I didn't/don't have great exception handling going on.
Check the HTTP response code. It's most likely 504 with some HTML from cloudflare, or so...

Since yesterday, I have the same problem. It just stop working: (
The configuration has not been changed, the software also unchanged.
EDIT:
Already running, it looks like it's a problem with btc-e api.

feedback:
now I have run the bot for ~2 weeks with the default options
start was with
USD: 0.00
BTC: 1.00
now after xxx trades result is:
but which?
