Now that mt gox has shut down. Are there any plans to implement trading through bitstamp?

Possibly. But Bitcoin is not our focus for the next month or so. We will be changing the trading integration from MTGox to Bitfinex as soon as we can.

Has live trading been re-implemented yet? I'm using a free intro account with Sierra Chart to decide if I want to write a DTC client for NeuroShell Trader, or connect NeuroShell to bitcoin markets some other way.

No. It has not. And it is unlikely to come. We have other development priorities now.

That is quite disappointing. I had thought a DTC client would be popular with other NeuroShell users as it would nearly triple the available data services (and it was very easy to code in C#,) but without even one digital currency exchange it's useless to me.

It would have been nice if your "Bitcoin Data & Trading Services" page had NOT included the word "Trading." I can't say learning C# was a waste of time, but I could have been writing a data interface that I can actually use.

I'm sure your other development priorities are really great, useful ideas. Hopefully they're ideas that none of your competitors have even imagined. One thing that apparently no one in the trading products industry is able to envision (except you at SC, at one point) is that professional traders with professional software are willing to pay for quality access to digital currency markets.

I have to say Sierra Chart is a pretty nice piece of kit. It's unfortunate that I won't be able to use it.

We are not completely sure about everything you're saying here. Sierra Chart supports the DTC protocol and using that protocol, it is possible for you to create a bridge ( DTC Server) between Sierra Chart and Bitstamp for both market data and trading:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_DTCProtocol.php

We already have the market data, so just trading needs to be supported. We can then add the capability to merge the market data that we provide with a trading bridge that someone else creates.

The reason the word "Trading" is on our Bitcoin services page is because Sierra Chart did in the past support MTGox trading and then they went out of business. Most of the trading related information on that page was removed and it does say this:
Live Trading: No.(This is the most important piece of information which indicates whether trading is supported or not)

We have removed other small references to trading from that page now.

Even if I can figure out NeuroShell's API enough to create a "Tradepump DLL" to pair with the DTC client "Datapump DLL", I don't understand how you would merge my DLL with Sierra Chart. While the Datapump is a bridge between SC's relay server and NeuroShell, the Tradepump would use the NeuroShell API on one hand, and the exchange specific API on the other. It has nothing to do with DTC or Sierra Chart, since Sierra Chart is unable to forward any trade orders to any Bitcoin exchanges.

Unfortunately, because the Relay Server does not support a client making Market Data Requests, I have no idea how to proceed to actually make the Datapump DLL work. Would Sierra Chart just automatically transmit data starting with the earliest date available in the intraday storage file? What if there is more than one symbol in the intraday update list? Which one gets sent to the DTC client (to NeuroShell?)

It's certainly no one elses fault that I got my hopes up about using Sierra Chart's relay server, but I'm beginning to suspect that the purpose of the server was never to do what I'm trying to do - relay SC data (both historical and live) into a different vendor's trading software.

We have updated the Relay Server documentation here to answer these questions you have:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_RelayServer.php#Introduction

In summary:

The relay server does not provide historical data

Only the real-time streaming data.

You will get a Security Definition Response for each symbol Sierra Chart is tracking data for upon connection to the relay server. So the relay server can send data on multiple symbols. Each one has a unique ID. The Security Definition Response indicates the ID.

The relay server is designed to do what you want but not support historical data. You have to read historical data from the Intraday data files directly. So that is possible, just a different interface. Refer to the Intraday Data File Format in the documentation.

Thank you. You've been very helpful, despite the frustration obviously leaking through in my posts.

The following is for anyone, not just SC Engineering, who has FIX experience.

I received the following from the folks at Coinsetter - a bitcoin exchange on Wall Street and overseen by the NYDFS - in response to my inquiry about their integration with a brokerage service:

"It would require development on our end to build a custom connector to the platform, so I can’t give you an honest timeline at the moment. If you happen to know anyone that would be willing to work on the development for a bounty, it’d be much appreciated if you passed their information along. It could help a lot to speed up the integration process." - Josiah Hernandez wecare@coinsetter.com

That's all I know. No idea how big or small the 'bounty' is.
