Hi all,
I've written a FUT Autobyer for myself for fun by using python and selenium. I just wanted to figure out how things work, so I took some time writing a log file for every search my bot would ever perform, logging e.g. search parameters, how many search results I received per search, my BuyNow Price, the SellingPrice, etc.
I defined BuyTime as the time between pressing the search button, analyzing the search results, pressing the BuyNow button and confirming the pop-up asking for confirmation.
Technically I was able to do that in roundabout 0.5 secs (more or less, depending on the analyzation of the search results - xpath can be really slow at that point). Due to the fact that I didn't want to get a kickban from EA, I decided to see how fast I can do it by myself. After some optimizations, it was able to do the whole sniping process as defined above in roundabout 1 second, but never below. So I decided to make the bot wait for at least 1 second after hitting the Search button. Then I played around with some values between 1.0 and 1.6 secs for the overall process.
I'm actually re-designing the bot, so I had a closer look at the buytime. Interested in your comments and experiences regarding that, here is what I found out.
What do you see:
I took all events where the bot received at least 1 search result (more than 1000 events at all).
On the x-axis you see the time the bot took for running through the whole buy process as described above.
On the y-axis you see how the success rate for sniping the item (e.g. 0.5 ==> 50 %).
In the first image you see how many times the bot bought an item successfully in all events.
In the second image you see all results of a potential profit greater than 200 coins (meaning: Later Selling Price - EA tax - Buy Price >= 200 coins).
In the third image, same as above but for a potential profit greater than 300 coins.
In the fourth image, same as above but for a potential profit greater than 400 coins.
I think my search filters suck, because I'm more interested in programming the bot than sniping
. So I have to play around with them in the future to be able to do some statistics on what brings most profit.
If you have any comments on the data - or any idea for further analysis, please let me know.
