Technical Support & Development / Feature request : gunbot to switch to different configs on given market conditio
« on: June 16, 2017, 03:16:18 AM »
Description:
What if gunbot switch automagically to different configuration set under certain market conditions (i.e. BTC price dropped with x% for the last x minutes)
Current situation:
As we all know, gunbot should not be stopped in moments of P&D or specific BTC corrections. There is also a request to add a 'pause' feature so that the gunbot kepp tracking the price, but just not to buy in case of big falls.
Request:
Well, I think that there is a better solution:
what if we have two folders with config files - one folder with config files for trading on a 'normal' day and another folder containing config files for special 'stormy' market conditions. And in a given 'panic configuration' (like sell volume, price drop of x% for the past x% cycles) the both simply loads the second folder. Now what we put there is up to us - different strategy, different MAX_NUMBER_OF_TRADES, etc.
Additional :
I am doing this manually right now - I have prepared 3 folders with 3 different strategies (sunny, typical,storm). And when I see BTC fall I run the script to copy the config files, even including ALLPAIRS (heck, I also change the candelstick period in such cases) in the gunbot folder and hotconfig kicks in with no problems.
So consider it something like "poor man's CryptoWally solution" - one strategy for normal trading and another strategy for huge pumps, but without the need of additional account and capital.
I'll be glad to hear your opinion on this
Cheers
