Currency market holded by bots or im just paranoid?

yeah i like how courteous the currency bots are

"Hi, your 78 chaos are ready, sir! Please have a nice day thank you for the trade"

It's so fast charismatic that it kind of makes me want to do the happy dance whenever I'm lucky enough to pick a bot from the currency traders.

That's not a bot that's pearl trade.

Bots are one step in the right direction(automated trade). I love them.

Ok, let me clear things about subject way of automatization.

1. Its wont solving afk problem. When i met guy that uses script for poetrade - he didnt replyed with my offers, i trying to buy something from my opponents to make sure - does they real. He only answered when i started to butthurt like: does it making fake prices is not illegal? When he answered - he didnt understand for a long time what im cruing about, coz his script set best price to ANY POSITION in game.

2. Im very doubt that making some program that take data from site and set it in 2 fields is requred to have some extra knowleges of coding. So any schoolboy can write the script and press "make money button" , then go afk or never answer coz in panic he settled very good price and out of stock 10 min ago.

3. if you think that you are good trader and will beat bad traders just on quality service - just imagine: what chance that customer will contact you if you number 5 on list or you are no 20.

No, the majority of the time in currency trade it is indeed a BOT.

Contacted with admin of poetrade- no reply, seems like if you wanna fairplay - play moba.

just found this from 18 months ago:

"Hello everyone, I'm currently developing a platform to automate a trading technique I have been using manually to make a TON of currency out of very little currency. It's an algorithm I wrote to ensure every trade yields maximum profit. This technique does not go against the ToS or EULA, will not get your account banned and will be entirely managed by the platform I am developing. The platform will be fully automated, the only thing the users will need to do is be in-game and accept the trade.

This is something I will be keeping private. As more people gain access to it, the less profit can be made.

To ensure a high profit for the users, I will be making it so that it is subscription based with a competitive rate. IE: If someone wants to pay more, they will have priority / be first in the listings.

I would like an initial investor to cover the time spent developing this platform and the setup fees. This investment will give you your money back by getting a share of the subscriptions, or give you monopoly over the market and multiply your orbs automatically if you are a PoE player/trader/seller and would like to keep this private and to yourself. Whichever you choose."

After the currency traders and the bots there are the hounds, those guilds that have 5 or 6 people flipping, scamming, snipping, pricefixing, afking and other stuff.

I prefer the harmless and fast bot that only takes 1-5% as a fee.

There really is little way to tell if a currency trader is a bot or not with all of the 3rd party user interfaces out there.

If you're not a bot, low profit margin trading is simply not worth it. You will be getting whispered for hours on end and if you try to keep up with all the trades, you will get some people whispering cussing you out for not always having everything in stock. It's extremely stressful and if you are trading any high bulk items such as jewellers, alterations or chromatics you will hurt your wrists if you do not utilize some sort of basic macro to assist with inventory/trade window management.

I've flipped currency in some capacity in every league and during the downtime before the start of this league I developed a script to assist the maintenance of trade ratios on the poe.trade website. I won't tell you my trading strategy but I will say that it is far from the above, which most people think is the main way people flip currency. You definitely don't need to use the web api or a script on poe.trade to use my method and I think there is an advantage to that (it's good to have your stock displayed so you don't get as many extra whispers for non-trades, the web api can't handle that). If you do some sleuthing around my character and listings it should be easy to figure out.

There are certainly more profitable ways to make money, but they all require manipulation of information/arbitrage and are not "passive" streams such as the one I have. I can run a map or two, come out and every time I will have a few 10c profit trades waiting for me.

I'll take trading with a bot any day of the week over futile attempts to trade with afk'ers and price riggers.

Changing currency (probably with bots) has always been fast and easy in my experience so far.
Trying to buy gear or maps with "real" players is a major pain in the A$%.

Bots are polite, no nonsense, and reply immediately. Players, it can sometimes take between 5-10 attempts before you even find a legitimate trader who will answer your whisp.


I still don't advocate the use of botting at all, but when the current trading system is THIS broken, well......
