Bitcoin: Luno (BitX) trading bot?

any chance any body knows how to get the instant sell price of etherium from Luno? I have tried to get the Ticker for pair "ETHZAR" but that doesn't exist because there is not ETHZAR exchange on luno

For the moment I am keeping it extremely simply, retrieve the lowest trade over a specifiable timeframe, substract a specifiable percentage and do a bid at that price. Then immediately do something similar for an ask (sell). While the overall trend is upward the percentage addition for the ask is higher than the percentage substraction for the bid and visa versa.The discipline comes in to leave Both the bid and ask over a longer period even if they are not met, the idea is that it self-balances over time.

Will have to hit the books to do anything more advanced, but I intend to.

I have abandoned this bot, having more success with trading medium liquidity coins (without a bot). Keeping an eye out though I did notice that many people are having success with PAMR (passive aggressive mean reversal) algos for bots. There is plenty of reading material from the relatively simple to advanced statistical mathematics so you should be able to find something to your relevant level whatever it may be. As I understand it, it works on the principal that the price will often tend back to the mean.

Does anyone here know how to detect the "fill" amount of your pending ASK or BUY list order?

Sadly you can't... I opened a ticket long ways back about it, as well as pm'd luno here about it, they don't support the api, only maintain it is the general response. There is nothing that allows for seeing fill amount on anything pending, its the one thing missing that is needed, best you can do is cancel, calculate difference before and after, then re-post after adjusting. If you are going to do it that way, just remember if there is buying/selling in your fill, it automatically updates in you balances, so you need to track the balances, ie if buying, track your btc balance, if selling, track your zar balance, but when cancelling a sell, your btc will change, when cancelling a buy, your zar will change... (if that makes sense?) I'm sure you'll figure it out;)

That said, I haven't checked it in the last 8months or so, so maybe it was updated and I missed it/shrug

If they worked, why would you let other people in on it?

This is a pet project that I've been working on for a long time, and it would be nice if others got to use it. Also if those people found the bot worth it, some donations would be nice

Why not? It wont cost me extra, nor will it influence me negatively.

Of course it will influence you negatively. They will be driving out your edge when buying/selling. Every strategy has a fixed capacity, and you are giving yours away.

Not really, this is a re-balancing type bot. The users set their own margin for the bot to operate on. Re-balancing is the only un-supervised strategy that I know of that actually works, and Luno is not a big enough platform for my bots to impact the market fluctuations in such a way that it would influence my own investments.

I would assume that there are optimal margins to be used as determined by back testing.
 
Sure, anything between 3% and 15% gives remarkably similar performance. The lower the margin the more regular trades happen but then your profit margin per trade is obviously lower. Also remember that LUNO charges transaction fees, so the lower your profit margin is the more the fees will matter. The higher your margin is the less regular trades happen, more profit per trade. At the end of the day it would depend on how active the market is and your own personal preference on performance.
