What Our Arbitrage Bot Does
The core of Luti Capital is an automated arbitrage bot that actively scans online marketplaces — mainly SkinBaron (EU) and BUFF (China) — for temporary price differences in digital items, especially CS:GO skins and cosmetics.
How It Works
- It fetches real-time listings using marketplace APIs (like SkinBaron’s
/BestDeals
and/NewestItems
endpoints). - It compares prices of identical items across platforms (or against historical sale data) to detect profitable mismatches.
- If a profitable opportunity is found, it automatically executes the trade — either buying, listing for resale, or both.
- Pricing, inventory, and cooldowns are all handled dynamically using internal logic and timers.
Why It Works
Many items are mispriced for a short time due to market fragmentation, lag, or human error. Most of these gaps last only seconds. By automating the process, we can act faster than manual traders — turning small inefficiencies into consistent returns.
What It’s Built With
- Language: Python
- Hosted on: DigitalOcean VPS
- External APIs: SkinBaron, Steam (limited), planned: BUFF
- Database: PostgreSQL (for price history, item tracking, and profit logs)
Real Output?
While the public live output has been discontinued for security and scaling reasons, performance is tracked internally. The bot currently operates with real money and executes trades daily.
