Two-Account Exchange Wash Trading Automation

Article Strategy library · Author: apple7474

Summary

This document presents a script that repeatedly trades the same asset between two exchange accounts. After a start command, it checks each account’s asset balance, chooses which account will sell and which will buy, then places paired orders at a specified price and quantity. The user can set the trade quantity, price, and number of repetitions.

The logic is intended to keep asset balances from becoming equal; it stops when they match, and also checks account balances before and after trading. The document provides no market rationale, backtest, performance evidence, or safeguards for order failures, price movement, fees, or exchange constraints. Its substance is operational rather than a market strategy, and it describes activity that can create misleading trading volume.

Key ideas

  • The script accepts a quantity, price, and repetition count as inputs.
  • It selects which of two accounts sells based on their asset balances.
  • Each iteration sends a sell order from one account and a buy order from the other.
  • The routine stops when the accounts have equal asset balances.
  • No evidence or safeguards are provided for execution quality, costs, or market impact.
