A twitter bot has been created for Ultra-Arb, to notify followers of arb opportunities. It is set to send them if the profit percentage is over 5. That may change if we find that too many or too few tweets are sent, but for now, enjoy!
That's amazing
Only problem is that poloniex trade is not real...as you already know :p
Thanks for your dedication dcgirl.
yes, Polo is a big problem. Their data is so bad half the time. I need to think through how to make this a little more rigid. I also need to think through the timing, it checks every minute. Should that slow down? Should it continue to show the same arb opp each minute as long as its over 5? Your opinions would be helpful.
Can the server take the load?
Tweets should be sent less frequently, say once an hour?
If people want to do arbing they visit the site and keep an eye on it. The site itself should update as fast as possible and make sure the amounts available at each price range (both buy and sell side) are visible.
It would suck to buy into 3000 asiacoins to find there's only one buy order for 300 at the other exchange.
Right now I would need to change the amount of coins and hit update. (and that might cost me money if the orders change)
Maybe calculate the sweetspot in coin amount to gain the most from the trade?
For example, if I buy 3000 asiacoins, I can sell 2000 5% higher and 1000 2% higher, vs buying 2000 only and selling them 5% higher.
How would that work? A coin amount suggestion box would be really nice.
Well, first off, the server is fine. I believe the client updates every 10 seconds, so the data is probably as fast as it can be, I doubt if there is any other place that gives you such a comprehensive view of as many coins on as many exchanges at one time.
The twitter bot piece is a conundrum. If you aren't on ultra-arb, you don't know about opportunities. The twitter bot kind of solves that. But twitter is so limiting about how much info you can provide. And if you only send tweets once an hour, they are pretty worthless, because things change so quickly.
Right now you can change the # of coins on ultra-arb. What I'm working on now is called Coin360 (this was going to be a surprise, but so many people are asking for more information that I figured what the heck). On this page, you will be able to select a coin, enter a number of coins, and see a full view of arb opps across exchanges, along with the order book to help you assess if your trade will be supported. Let me know what you think...
Oh and about the coin suggestion box - this is the sort of thing we were hoping to wrap into our premium model. I'll keep you updated on that.
