Does the bot scale? Anybody doing trades around .5 to 1.0 btc?
« on: September 11, 2017, 01:40:57 PM »
I thought process is that with the bots executing a lot of smaller trades (0.1 to 0.01) is no different than people manually doing them. Even with a coin with decent daily volume (500btc), would your bot mess with the market by doing a lot of larger trades .5 to 1.0 btc? BTW, coin with 500btc volume, I can see that 90% of the trades are below 0.5 btc.

I have yet to find any screen shots (legit or not) of people trading with anything more than .02btc using the bot. Anyone manage to get it to be profitable with larger amounts?

Hi,

I do use amounts between 0.15 and 0.2.. I used 0.5 for testing for a while.. but my BTC capital was not enough to go that high and I reverted back to 0.15 and 0.2.

But yes, it is not uncommon to have only partial buy/sells due to the bigger volume.

I use the bot with .5 trades regularly for BTC-OMG.  It buys at 0.5 and sells around 0.51 with the settings I use.

GunBot v3.3.2 using BB for buy-and-sell at around 45-45.
