I recently made a bot to find profitable cryptocurrency pairs loops and while most exchanges already have dozens of users doing exactly the same thing (if the exchange itself is not doing it), I really liked the motivation it gave me to start a new coding project in a language I did not touch for some time (C#) instead of my traditional python approach.
You post just inspired me to make something similar (whether stocks or crypto) and I wanted to thank you for that. I too see trading as pretty stressful and demoralising (even for trivial amounts) and implementing my own stocks/crypto manager could transform those failed trades into "that's interesting" moments.
- gerritsg 6y agoAre you having much success with it? What platform are you using? I've wanted to do something similar in Rust. Or if your bot is just _finding_ the pairs now but not trading, is there a platform you plan to use?
- MajorSauce 6y agoSo far the only exchanges where I found some opportunities are the ones that do have a public API, probably because there is less competition on those. For example, I have yet to find a single profitable pair loop on Binance, despite parsing their WebSocket feed. But on exchanges that implement anti-scripts, it is not uncommon to have pair loops with a ±1% profit after fees. The hassle is to implement trading with tools like Selenium to proceed with the trade.
