General Discussion / Re: Rough week: How much was the market and how much was Gunbot?

« on: September 22, 2017, 01:09:04 PM »

That's exactly what happened, all my bitcoins went into altcoins. I'm lucky that Gunbot previously had funneled all my coins into ETH so my ETH balance is twice my other Altcoin balance. Right now I'm back where I started at a couple of days ago. I've set a 30% security margin on two altcoins but there is still a chance that they bounce up. I might even do a manual sell if they go to 95% of buying price.

Learned a lot yesterday. I need to spend more time investigating the pairs. Looking at moving averages, that kind of thing. I still have the bot running but only with very low values of LowBB. That way it only buys when there is a higher chance of a bounce up although the likelihood of buying is smaller.

As of today my bitcoins are in bags that are rapidly falling...

Right now I'm running 13 BTC and 8 ETH pairs plus BTC-ETH. Most ETH pairs run as BTC pairs as well. I've noticed my ETH balance getting larger to about double the BTC balance. Almost all pairs are using a BB-Stepgain strategy where I optimized the values according to the behavior of the market. Part of learning this is that I'm paying attention to the trades a lot as they happen. When GB places a buy or sell order I go to the particular exchange and check out how the ask/bid price GB put in there looks on the chart. On Bittrex using 15 minute candlesticks and standard Bollinger bands (period=20) is not perfect usually good enough for me.

Last night has been really good after joining this telegram group: https://t.me/cryptoadvisorOfficial Some people pointed out a couple of coins to trade: OK, PAY, TRST and CFI. During the night these were trading a lot. But I almost bagged the TRST because it was moving so much that with BB as a buy strategy with LowBB = 30% it was buying way too soon. Therefore the lot almost didn't sell because the buy price was too high. So now I know I have to lower the LowBB or change to stepgain for buying.

My profits since the big dip last friday are up about 3%. But they are a bit obscured by a bag of RDD that I want to get rid of as soon as it increases.

You say you're down 50%, that's gotta hurt... So what's going on, are you bagging a lot of bad coins? Did you investigate the buying decisions GB made to see what was going on?

Somewhat similar story for me, just got the Bittrex license last week and on the second day bitcoin crashes. My loss is was about 10% but I didn't put that much money in my Bittrex account.

So I was trading BTC-altcoin pairs and USDT-bit/altcoin pairs. All BB-BB strategy which I thought was safe. The markets went down below BTC = $3300 and after I woke up and all my pairs were in USDT, preserving their value. So I manually bought BTC and altcoins with 10% profit around the BTC = $3000 mark. There were some trades with minor profit. And as the market went up above BTC = 3050, Gunbot started to stockpile USDT again at but BTC went up 20% to 3600 within an hour . I still don't know why it dumped all BTC into USDT but it could be the stop limit.

So a hard lesson for me: no more USDT trading using the bot for now. And stop the bot whenever there is a crash about to happen. Hope that helps so you don't feel too bad about your loss 

Now Gunbot made a couple of percent profit and if this trend continues I'll be good next month.

Beginners & Help / Re: Bittrex minimum sell limit prevented GB switching to buy mode

So I had to clear the dust for two other coins as well... I would like to upgrade to 5.04 but I couldn't any 5.xx versions to work, it says my Bittrex license is invalid

Does Bittrex send an API response/error message when an altcoin amount is too small to sell? This would then prompt Gunbot to ignore the dust and switch to buy mode. Just an idea

Beginners & Help / Bittrex minimum sell limit prevented GB switching to buy mode

« on: September 18, 2017, 09:42:58 PM »

I've been running the Gunbot 3.3 GUI on Bittrex for a couple of days now and I noticed a quirk on the BTC-NEO exchange. My BTC trade limit is 0.01, sell/buy is set to BB(lowBB = 30%)/Stepgain

For some reason not all NEO were sold during an order yesterday. A tiny amount of 0.00035560 NEO was left which is about 0.007 in real dollars. As NEO was dropping below the BB, Gunbot was stuck in sell mode. I tried to manually sell the 'less than a cent' off to BTC but Bittrex refused as it was below the minimum sell limit! After successfully selling it to $USDT Gunbot noticed the NEO were gone and immediately started to buy 0.01BTC as expected.

Is this a known issue that is solved on later versions?

This also really helped me to get a better understanding of how GB works  .

Beginners & Help / Which crypto market to use

Hi,

First post here! I'm seriously considering buying a Gunbot license within a couple of days. So I just registered with Poloniex and Bittrex. Some people seem to prefer Poloniex because it is bigger and other say they prefer Bittrex because of bad experiences with Poloniex. To me it seems like I'm choosing apples over oranges. Also, given the fact that so much has happened the last couple months a lot of discussions on the web seem to be a bit dated.

Would it be possible for someone to give a short overview of pros and cons of using Poloniex versus Bittrex? I hope I'm not asking for the obvious or invoke people's strong opinions.
