crypsnbloods Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 On Bitstamp's "sub accounts" page mentions that "you can dedicate a portion of your balance to a specific trading purpose" it possible to have bots trade your xrp w/ bitstamp? If so how Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RippleEvangelist Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I looked into this a while back. Bitstamp has an API that you can use in order to do trading with a bot: https://www.bitstamp.net/api/ I guess there are existing bots but I was gonna build my own because I'm paranoid about security.

I would never trust a third-party bot and neither should you. It would be so easy to set the bot to transfer all your coins to another account/wallet. One day your account would just be empty, even the echo would be gone. Never trust anyone else with your funds! inative and Kiir 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulo Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Bitstamp API are one of the best around (they have some minor flaws) and you can easily build a bot with those. There are already some JS or python wrappers on github. Moreover with subaccounts it's much easier to dedicate a subaccount to a bot, since every subaccount can have their own API key.

It depends on the bot and on the market state and on the "competitors". I never completed a very successful MM bot on Bitstamp but I had a couple arbitrage bot. The highest ROI was probably around 50% monthly, but on small volumes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you get around some cannibalistic trading (I assume you didn't trade against yourself)? I assume you controlled you bots with something like this: Vacek_aka_Luschka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course if this was Google there would be AI involved, they would learn their own language and somehow hack the banking sector and take over the financial world. So maybe not the best idea.
