Now here is after tuning, you can see I was able to increase profit from 5.69% to 13.43% by tweaking the settings which I would now put into Gunbot if I were using this pair. I picked this pair during this timeframe to show worst case scenario of a pair that sucked for the entire month and trended down throughout that range of dates. BB-RSI is impressive. With the proper settings you can make money now even on this garbage!

NOTE: Chart picture is oversized so scroll right if cut off!

22
Next at the bottom of the chart open the Strategy Tester: Perfomance Summary pane just high enough so that you can see the Net Profit.

Now at the top of the chart click Format on the BB-RSI indicator and you should be able to see both the "Inputs" window and the Net Profit, if not drag the "Inputs" window so that it isn't covering up the Net Profit at the bottom.

I've had some requests asking how to use after adding the the tuner to the chart so here is a little more information regarding that. We are going to be looking at BB-RSI so first open the chart pair that you are interested in tuning settings for. Then load the Gubot BB-RSI indicator (shown earlier in thread above how to do this).

Next right click on the chart and add 2nd indicator "Relative Strength Index" so that we can see what Gunbot sees, we do this because the RSI in our tuner doesn't show on the chart, it is working in the script behind the scenes. By adding this 2nd indicator we will now be able to see both the Bollinger Bands AND the RSI that Gunbot is using for it's trade decisions. Both BB and RSI conditions must be satisfied before Gunbot will fire.

24
These should work with any version from 3.3.2 and up. In 3.3.2 if you are using default settings of 0.02 and 0.04 these mean 2 and 4 hours, so if you were trading on 15 min chart you would divide 2 and 4 hours by 15min to get your EMA1 and EMA2 numbers to plug in.

0.02 (hours) / 15min = 08 = EMA1
0.04 (hours) / 15min = 16 = EMA2

Set your stop to 99.9 if you are using 3.3.2

The logic behind the strategies themselves has not changed. I'll be adding XT strategies which will obviously only apply to GunbotXT and newer.

Also... Colors were chosen to be optimized for viewing in dark mode...

Updated and Improved Free Tuners! Both now have ability to set the date range to be backtested. This will now allow you the ability to compare apples to apples which chart period is most profitable for that pair & strategy. (Hint: BTC-NEO has triple the profits at 45min compared to 5min or 15min). TradingView limits backtests to 2000 orders so if you see that you are approaching this number of trades in your backtesting then be aware of this limitation.


26
If you aren't seeing Trades on chart in one of the tuners the most common issues are you have changed your Initial Capital settings (see above post), also you may just have a bag off the chart that you don't see, try temporarily lowering you STOP_LIMIT to rule this possibility out.

On the tuners where I haven't updated to "Auto" period yet, if that particular tuner calls for PERIOD in the tuner settings, then it needs to match the chart. For example -> if chart is set to 5 min then strat Period setting must be set to 5 min as well.

Also remember that candle CLOSE must fully cross, it is possible you have your levels set too high (which is one of the purposes of using these scripts to see this).

When you make a change to settings you must tab out of that changed field (or click somewhere else) in order for the change to be reflected.



27
Scripts are set to trade (default) like this for backtesting, Initial Capital needs to be equal to Order Size...

You should have Initial Capital and Order Size set to 100000 and leave it set this way, otherwise higher value pairs like BTCSUDT will NOT backtest properly and changing the amounts can cause unexpected results due to TradingView's backtest engine being very tempermental. The main purpose is to compare profit percentage with different tunings, so don't be concerned with the actual capital values being used. If you aren't seeing trades in TradingView it could be because you have changed these settings and you will need to set them back, and also possibly reload the indicator and refresh the web page.

28
BB settings are self explanatory, same for Stepgain, you just enter your settings and script is programmed to mimic Gunbot's desire to continue stepping up to the next levels until trend reversal. Gunbot uses much more sophisticated trendwatcher than what we are capable of coding in Pine, so you won't see some of the larger profit trades like you will see in Gunbot. But by comparing different minimum level amounts, EMA numbers, Stops, etc... you will be able to see expected number of trades and potential for bagging, and also be able to compare which settings gives you highest returns for that pair. Once applied in Gunbot you should see even better returns than what are displayed in these scripts backtests.

Install like this...

After you have clicked "Thumbs Up" to notify me and I have granted access, you will receive notice in TradingView. Open a chart in TradingView and then right click anywhere there is blank space on the chart and click Insert Indicator...

DISCLAIMER: These simulations of Gunbot contain exact same logic as Gunbot and rely on same formulas for indicators as Gunbot does. I worked closely with Gunthar and we determined that TradingView's hl/2 candle prices are closest match to Gunbot's use of bid/ask prices for buying and selling. The script logic is accurate but will not always buy or sell at the exact same prices as Gunbot because of TradingView's inability to use ticker prices, but they are as close as you can get in TradingView to the real thing.

Beginners & Help / Re: ExQ's Tradingview Setup Guide & Noobconfig
« on: September 25, 2017, 10:06:22 AM »
Nice work Exquitas!

32
Thank you for taking the time to write this! Very enlightening and impressive job. Keep up the good work.

33
Welcome to the group! I'm not the owner, just another member like you, but I can give you a pretty good approximation of what Gunthar's response will be. He employs what he calls "rapid advanced development" and so the landscape is constantly moving and shifting. He relies upon member's suggestions for improvements and their reports of issues "in the field" in Telegram group. He is constantly improving upon and adding features so often times by the time there is documentation it is no longer relevant. His Gunbot moves at a pace much like that of the crypto world itself.

This is very different than what most software users are accustomed to, there isn't a new version every 6 months, there is a new release sometimes every day. Imagine trying to write a comprehensive manual at that pace.

So this can be frustrating and overwhelming at times, there is a steep learning curve, but once you get the rudimentary aspects down of how it works and how the group works, it can be fast paced and exciting as well. You can read through the release notes from older to newer versions to understand most of what needs to be understood in how Gunbot operates.

There are multiple guides within the forum to get users started, and the concepts for strategies do not really change. Up to date information (as well as help) can be attained by chatting in the Telegram group in real time.

These are a few resources collected by vosechu that hopefully will help you get started that I often share with new members. If you need further assistance head to Telegram group.

If you're not already using, I'm determined to avoid what happened yesterday (Niagara Falls) again, I found indicator that would warn... Variable Moving Average [LazyBear] turn on colors in format style, blue is congestion, if you sold soon as blue, you'd avoid the plunge...

To see what I'm talking about, look at blue before plunge (scroll right in photo)...

Technical Support & Development / Re: Bot won't buy
« on: September 08, 2017, 02:09:46 AM »
I would suggest you familiarize yourself with this helpful wiki from Chuck Lauer Vose (vosechu)... https://github.com/meesterdude/gbwiki/wiki

Do not alter name of variable "BTC_TRADING_LIMIT": <- Just put dollar amounts here instead of BTC amounts.

I'm not aware of needing to change "MIN_VOLUME_TO_BUY" when doing USDT, I never do and bot buys and sells fine.

Also there is no "MIN_VOLUME_TO_SELL" that I'm aware of.

Technical Support & Development / Re: 3.3.2 IS RUNNING BUT NOT BUYING
« on: September 08, 2017, 01:52:42 AM »
In 3.3.2 BB uses GAIN strategy until it has completed it's "metal image" of the bands. With default timings of 60s and 120s this can take 5-10 hours to occur. Until calculation is complete GAIN is used exclusively.

60s - 120s * 300 polls -> 18000 - 36000 seconds / 3600s/hr = 5 - 10 hours.

To test you could hot config 0.6 in the buy/sell of GAIN to cover 0.5 fees and you should see more frequent buys and/or sells.

Also see my post on running "hot standby"... https://gunthy.org/index.php/topic,648.msg3390.html#msg3390

I would like to see something similar, just a simple entry and exit with option to take last ask. I'd most like to see dynamic trailing stop.

Technical Support & Development / Re: Vote for TV API:
« on: September 07, 2017, 08:18:06 AM »
I just assume that part of that business model is keeping their indicators, intellectual property, user created intellectual property, and other assets within the trading view walled garden.

This is incorrect, they are hardly keeping assets within a walled garden, all of the TA in Coinigy is TradingView's. They also provide open & free charting components.

Technical Support & Development / Vote for TV API:
« on: September 06, 2017, 02:47:16 AM »
Gunbot Release 5.x will add ability to create any strategy in TradingView pinescript, but TradingView alerts are only email or sms. If TradingView had API Alerts this would be even better.

There is strength in numbers and we are legion. If we all vote we will be #1 requested feature on TradingView and can convince TradingView developers to make this a priority.

Register free account with TradingView, you will need one anyways for when Gunbot 5 is released.

After registering on TradingView we need every user to go here... https://getsatisfaction.com/tradingview/topics/api-for-tradesignals-alarms and click the [+1] button and leave a brief [Reply] as well.

Criptonauta has sent to Brazilian community and Luca has sent to Italians. (If you are bilingual please translate and post this in the other language sections).

Thanks to Berti for finding the request and thanks to everyone else for your participation.

UPDATE: We've hit page 1 and now moved up to 10th place but we must have more votes! Thanks everyone! Keep the votes coming and spread the word!

Beginners & Help / Does Gunbot sell at a loss?
« on: September 02, 2017, 12:30:45 PM »
No. Gunbot is programmed to NEVER sell at a loss. If your account starts with $1000 and you look 4 hours later and your account says $950 this does NOT mean Gunbot sold at a loss. This just means that BTC has dropped in value for the moment. See attached for further explanation.
