BTW ... please also note that @toast has released a new version of the market_maker bot .. my bots are currently under-maintained due to lack of time :(

Yes, it's https://github.com/freetradebots/bts_bots

That's where my fork comes from ..

The new bot actually is a bter.com trading bot written in go:

Code Select Expand

What am I doing wrong?

I'd say you have a missing "," at the end of some parameters in your config json file .. please check them

Hello

Trying to test out your bot and run it to compliment toasts market maker bot but I'm getting the following error:

  File "main.py", line 17, in <module>
    config = read_config(sys.argv[1])

Great work xeroc  +5%

The initial buy oders are not working well yet .. bot is asking to confirm the initial orders ... please check them before you confirm them

Wonderful piece of work!  +5%

Will look through and learn how a bot works.

I just now pushed a new bot I wrote ...

https://github.com/xeroc/btsx_bots

In particular the trading strategy/bot:
https://github.com/xeroc/btsx_bots/blob/master/bots/market_balance.py

For those that have been familiar with goxtool
(http://prof7bit.github.io/goxtool/) [scary reference to some long forgotten
centralized service] -- that bot should basically do the same as the 'portfolio rebalancing'
strategy of goxtool. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=181584.0)
I haven't compared the code though!

Related theory: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebalancing_investments#Rebalancing_bonus

It's "supposed" to keep the wealth split evenly among two assets and trades
when the market moves into either direction ..


{
"bot_type": "market_balance",           // bot name (fixed)
"account_name": "balance.bot.account",  // your account name (should be used ONLY by this bot)
"spread_percent": 0.05,                 // trades on prices moves +-5%
"asset_pair": [   
"USD", "BTSX"                   // trades in USD/BTSX in this case (first is quote, second is base)
],
"min_base_balance": 10,                 // minimum BTSX to keep
"min_quote_balance": 10                 // minimum USD to keep
},


Example output for the balancing bot:
~/btsx_bots$ python3 main.py config.json
INFO:MarketMakerBot:1 open orders -> Market has moved and order was executed! Canceling the other!
INFO:MarketMakerBot:freeing up 0.00000000  BTSX
INFO:MarketMakerBot:freeing up 66.84839000   USD
INFO:MarketMakerBot:available:   2877.65776000  BTSX            and              65.13140000   USD
INFO:MarketMakerBot:buy:           67.83787128  BTSX for price      0.02526589 -- pay      1.71398421   USD
INFO:MarketMakerBot:sell:          68.51566095  BTSX for price      0.02792546 -- get      1.91333119   USD
INFO:MarketMakerBot:submitting orders!

Remarks:

• No external price fetching required! (running this bot only makes sense on matured markets)
• The code is supposed to work on any asset pair as long as the market is open and the base asset has a lower id on the blockchain
• The bot requires an initial equal distribution and if this is not the case in your account would order @ market prices  (asks for manual confirmation of orders for the initial trades) -- remark: be carefull here as the market price is taken from the btsx exchange, not from an external exchange/price feed
• The bot places orders at +-SPREAD and allocates an amount such that after the (complete) trade has been filled, both assets hold the "same" wealth.

Todo

• Take external price for initial balancing and wait for order to be filled
• Set a minimum trade size
• Incorporate trading feeds

DISCLAIMER:
- I used this to learn how to write a bot in python
- don't use with serious money unless you know what you are doing and checked the code
- I currently run one bot for USD/BTSX and CNY/BTSX with low volume to check trades, seems to work so far
