Beginners & Help / Re: Initial amount of counter currency confuses Gunbot

« on: May 06, 2018, 04:55:18 PM »

I don't get it. Why does it need to sell the ETH first? Why don't it just buy high and sell low (ideally) ignoring what's deposited in my wallet? Doesn't the cycle start with the buy?

What if I don't want Gunbot to sell what I have in wallet? Please, explain to me how the trading strategy, that requires to deplete existing funds first, works.

Beginners & Help / Initial amount of counter currency confuses Gunbot

« on: May 05, 2018, 05:44:01 PM »

Hello. Recently Bittrex rolled up new design and along with that change deposit and trade history was cleared. I'd like to keep trading on BTC-ETH market with Gunbot, but I already have some positive amount of BTC and ETH. Apparently, Gunbot can't cope with non-zero ETH amount without deposit or trade history and it keeps saying the following on every round:

WARNING: we couldnt get a BOUGHT PRICE for BTC-ETH, Please manually override it using config.js

I understand what Gunbot is advising me to do but I don't understand the reason and I fear the consequences. Why does Gunbot need to know the bought price? I'd like Gunbot to not touch the existing amount and start with the buy.

Ideally, there'd be an option akin to FUNDS_RESERVE for counter currency. Sadly, I couldn't find anything like that.
