Overview

A workflow for buying bitcoin in Bitex and selling on another exchange. The BuyOpeningFlow factory function estimates how much you could sell on the other exchange and calculates a reasonable price taking into account the remote orderbook and the recent operated volume.

When created, a BuyOpeningFlow places a Bid on Bitex for the calculated amount and price, when the Bid is matched on Bitex an OpenBuy is created to sell the matched amount for a higher price on the other exchange.

A BuyOpeningFlow can be cancelled at any point, which will cancel the Bitex order and any orders on the remote exchange created from its OpenBuy’s

.create_for_market(btc_balance, order_book, transactions, bitex_fee, other_fee, store) ⇒ BuyOpeningFlow

Start a workflow for buying bitcoin on bitex and selling on the other exchange. The amount to be spent on bitex is retrieved from Settings, if there is not enough USD on bitex or BTC on the other exchange then no order will be placed and an exception will be raised instead. The amount a BuyOpeningFlow will try to buy and the price it will try to buy at are derived from these parameters:

Parameters:

  • btc_balance (BigDecimal) —

    amount of btc available in the other exchange that can be sold to balance this purchase.

  • order_book ([price, quantity]) —

    a list of lists representing a bid order book in the other exchange.

  • transactions (Hash) —

    a list of hashes representing all transactions in the other exchange. Each hash contains ‘date’, ‘tid’, ‘price’ and ‘amount’, where ‘amount’ is the BTC transacted.

  • bitex_fee (BigDecimal) —

    the transaction fee to pay on bitex.

  • other_fee (BigDecimal) —

    the transaction fee to pay on the other exchange.

  • store (Store) —

    An updated config for this robot, mainly to use for profit.
