General Discussion / Bittrex Bollinger Band and EMA Settings?

« on: June 14, 2017, 03:21:17 PM »

Sorry about huge pictures, that's what I get doing screen captures on a 4K monitor...

Bollinger Bands:

In Bittrex, the following settings are available when you add Bollinger Bands to a chart:



What should those settings be on Bittrex to approximate Gunbot BB calculations?


Moving Average:

For EMA, Gunbot gives you three parameters that affect its EMA calculations (EMA1, EMA2, Candlestick).  In Polo, to approximate  Gunbot's default value EMA calculation on a Polo chart, you use the following settings:



However on Bittrex, you have TWO Moving Average options:



And:



Which Moving Average option do I use, and what settings for that option, to approximate default Gunbot EMA calculations?

Without being able to visually analyze these values on Bittrex, it makes using Gunbot strategies with Bittrex more like guesswork than analysis.

Thanks in advance!

General Discussion / Keeping track of profit/losses over time

« on: June 08, 2017, 05:18:14 AM »

On Linux you can apparently use gmon with the -P option to see a summary of profit per coin.  I'm running the Windows app of Gunbot on a dedicated VPS. 

1) Is there a relatively simple way to see profit/loss per pair like gmon -P on Linux?  I know there's a "Total Profit BTC:" line on the monitor per pair, but it's reset to 0 as soon as you restart the pair.

2) I've seen reference to a spreadsheet that people are dumping Polo exports into to see this.  Where is that or how do I buy it?

Thanks in advance.

General Discussion / Ride the rocket?

« on: June 06, 2017, 09:39:55 PM »

Just purchased GB and getting it set up on dedicated Windows VPS (because Linux hurts my eyes ) and SUPER excited about getting started.  Just PM'd Gunthar a few questions about the 3.3 version of the Windows app, but here's a general question:

Before GB, on Poloniex I've been manually using a very simple GAIN method, just buying 10-15% below EMA and selling 10-15% above purchase price, OR holding on a steep rise until a 10% pullback.  Is there a way in GB to basically say "only sell after X% pullback on a Y% increase over purchase price"?  Manually, I would hold on a crazy 50% increase in value over a day or two, and ride out the 3-8% pullback gyrations on the way up, but when it pulls back 10%, as long as my profit is still at least 10% after that pullback, I'd sell.  If no way to do that in GB today, maybe a feature request?

That may go against the principles of GB's microtrades, but if you have any ideas (or see a fatal trading flaw) let me know.  It's worked quite well manually in the last month.  Thanks.
