Just read over all 22 pages of this thread, quite a damn good read, and I have a few comments.
I had been looking for an open source bot developed in collaboration, more open minds are better than one. You guys working this together and bouncing ideas off one another is exactly what Bitcoin breeds, and needs. Its pretty awesome, and becomes recognized even more so when you got some dude going all WarZ on your code and attempting to profit off of it. To top that off the site states that it is sold for USD, not bitcoin, which kind of goes against the principle of Bitcoin. I had gone through the few different version of the bot and so far I am really liking the latest volatility thresholds that were implemented. I feel like there is a lot more control over the bot, and have been seeing slow, positive results over the last 48 hours.
Currently my settings are:
Sample interval 5 mins
trade after 1
buy threshold at .25
sell threshold at .20
vol samples 3
vol buy threshold .90
vol sell threshold .95
Im not a programmer but I am a server engineer. If you guys ever need any assistance let me know, I'm sure there are plenty of folk out there willing to lend resources or a hand

Keep up the good work
Be careful, eduk's version is not implementing fixes from tobli's v0217 and v0218 (v2 api etc.). Furthermore, I strongly advise you not to use sampling intervals shorter than 15 minutes: I started with 10m, and lost a lot even with high thresholds. I'm better off with 30m now!
