Ok, I thought there was a difference between supergun and gunbot on how "the bot" behaves because of this (supergun vs 1000trades strategy):
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1715214.msg17942910#msg17942910 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1715214.msg17942910#msg17942910)
OK,
so we can start the supergun using batch files (supergun.exe), but not the 1000trades
Can we play with the USDT orderbooks?
Yes. Remember to set "max balance" in USDT. Also: you need USDT in your balance
ii) in Config Suggestions For Beginners thread, you mention that in 1000trades strategy, we should use EMA1 & EMA2 values of 2 and up to 4 respectively. Is that correct, and does it apply to ver2.0.4 for linux? Because in supegun we use values 0.02 and 0.04
Q1: I have been running v2.0.4 on linux with symlinks all pointing to the same file. is this still possible with version 3? i am referring to the setting: DEFAULT_CURRENCY_PAIR (see Q2).Yes the command line option for the currency pair ovverides the config
overriden by the command line option
- DEFAULT_CURRENCY_PAIR:
BOT_MAX_LIFETIME:Set it to 999999999 to let the bot run forever
i suspect that you have run some backtests with the new bot and the BB strategy using LOW and HIGH values of 5% was fairly successful?It really depends on the coin. I'd suggest you to study the graphics and decide the quote by yourself.
Hi Gunthar,
my questions - all related to gunbot v3:
Q1: Can we set BB to negative % values to buy lower than BB1 and sell higher than BB2 in v3 of gunbot ?
Q2: What if we want to use values of BB on e.g. 1Day or 4hour chart interval ? Is it possible ? Or are BB calculated only from 15min interval ? If it is possible, what should I set and where in pair config to use BB on higher timeframes ?
Q3: How do we start / or use "Russian Roulett" strategy under linux using command line ? And which config file will it use ? I can't find any documentation for setting up this strategy.
Q4: Could you possibly post here examples of default configs for all 4 strategies for e.g. BTC_ETH pair on poloniex with minimal required options for respective gunbot strategy (4 strategies: 1000trades, Russian roulett, supergun (step-gain), supergun (BB/EMA)) ? I think it would help a lot of people to have clear default template configs for all strategies available in gunbot. Thank you very much for considering this.
Q5: Can gunbot v3 - Kraken trade there on margin - e.g. BTC-USD margin trading ? If not, would you consider implementing it?
Thank you very much for your help&reply.
after a closer look, it looks to me that it is still trying to execute that trailing stop, that's also why it opened those 0.06 trades, for some reason it thinks it has previously opened some trades if I understand that correctly... question is why and what can I do about it...
1. Are there any strategies that prevent me from losing money? If so, what strat is it? If not, how can i minimize my losses?All of Gunbot strategies can be run with Risk Management functions, like Double UP and RT (http://"https://github.com/GuntharDeNiro/Gunthy/wiki/Reversal-trading"). Also, you can use stop limits to minimize risks in given coins.
2. What are pairs? I see it alot but do not know what it is referring to.Pairs are the pair of coins your are trading. There are BASE coins and QUOTE coins. In a BTC market, BTC-ETH is a pair, where BTC is que Base and ETH the Quote coin. If we were talking about USD market, then in the pair USD-BTC, USD is the base coin (the coin you have) and BTC is the Quote coin (the coin you want to buy.
3. When I see Low(30) or high(50) (examples) for BB what is the number referring to?The Wiki provides a good answer for that: https://github.com/GuntharDeNiro/BTCT/wiki/Bollinger-Bands
4. Will there ever be a point in time where Gunbot is no longer updated?We aim to build the perfect money machine. Until that, the plans are to keep going forwards.
5. Emotionless loses me profits, why is that?Could you elaborate more about that?
6. If there are any detailed guides on how to pick the right strat for the right coin could you link it to me?I dont believe in 'right strat for right coin'. Many strategies Gunbot offers can be used to achieve similar results, like different computing languages can get similar results. This is especially valid now that most strats can use TrailME and confirmation indicators like RSI.
7. Where do you advise me to go to get a better understanding of Gunbot/Crytpocurrency/Best strategies to use?
