write a HFT bitcoin bot

• t0 13y ago
  The exchanges charge 0.5% per trade. This isn't feasible once you look at the numbers.

    Why wouldn't it work if the spread was high enough?

      Sure. It would also help if the exchange took less than 10 minutes to execute trades.

        Exactly. I'm writing a (low-frequency) arbitrage program in Clojure for fun, but the long confirmation time for BTC and the inability to move non-BTC currencies between exchanges greatly limits this in practicality.
