The trade results are stored in CSV files and the detailed activity is stored in log files. THE AUTHORS AND ALL AFFILIATES ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR TRADING RESULTS. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. More details about short selling and market neutrality can be found on issue #100. Advantage: no need to deal with transfer latency issues. The buy/sell and sell/buy trading activities are done in parallel on two different exchanges, independently. The strategy doesn't need to transfer funds (USD or BTC) between Bitcoin exchanges. The Bitcoin market could suddenly lose half its value that this won't make any difference in the strategy returns. This removes a huge risk from the strategy. The strategy is always market-neutral: the Bitcoin market's moves (up or down) don't impact the strategy returns. This feature offers two important advantages: Unlike other Bitcoin arbitrage systems, Blackbird doesn't sell but actually short sells Bitcoin on the short exchange. Then, when the spread closes (second vertical line), Blackbird exits the market by selling Bitstamp and buying Bitfinex back.
Here is a real example where an arbitrage opportunity exists between Bitstamp (long) and Bitfinex (short):Īt the first vertical line, the spread between the exchanges is high so Blackbird buys Bitstamp and short sells Bitfinex. The purpose of Blackbird is to automatically profit from these temporary price differences while being market-neutral. Several Bitcoin exchanges exist around the world and the bid/ask prices they propose can be briefly different from an exchange to another. How It Worksīitcoin is still a new and inefficient market. Blackbird Bitcoin Arbitrage is a C++ trading system that does automatic long/short arbitrage between Bitcoin exchanges.
