Of course I set my gox api keys and the bitcoincentral credentials. This is my conf:

Quote
markets = ["MtGoxEUR", "BitcoinCentralEUR"]
observers = ["Logger", "TraderBot", "HistoryDumper"]
market_expiration_time = 120 # in seconds: 2 minutes

...

I think you're crazy to do that... Did you read the code first ? Are you sure that it will not just steal your coins ?

First, in TraderBot.py, you'll see some safeguards, for instance if the expected profit is lower than X and the expected profit percentage is lower than Y then it will not execute transactions. One of these safeguards should block current transaction.

But seriously, it's not a "packaged product", it's more a in-development project released for other developers. If you just run it like this, I guarantee you'll lose money.

If you really want to run it on real exchanges, then help me to write automated tests.
