Hello all.

Bought Gunbot a few days ago and still in the tweaking phase. So far so good, overall.
I do have a question though. I've been testing with small amounts, and noticed that Gunbot is always selling my full bag of coin, regardless of the trading-limit setting. It always buys at the limit though. This behavior could be reproduced everytime with multiple currencies on versions 3.3.2 and 5.5.0.5RC with mostly default settings. Stop_limit is set at 60% and shouldn't have been triggered and I am using bb/bb for buying/selling.

Exemple :
I was playing around with 1 ZEC (approx 0.04 BTC). My trading limit was set at 0.001 BTC.
On the first opportunity, Gunbot sold my full bag of 1 ZEC for 0.04, and bought back 0.001 BTC worth of ZEC after that. Same thing happened with KMD, VIA, etc.

So, am I doing something wrong, or is it impossible to hold more than the trading_limit value for a given pair ? I am a bit puzzled here.

Thank you in advance for your help  :)

Additional information :
MIN_VOLUME_TO_SELL and MIN_VOLUME_TO_BUY are both set at 0.0001

It's normal, you can't keep a part of your pair: it sells everything.
Trading limit is for buying.
It's designed like this.

Ok, crystal clear answer.
I'll just have to keep my holding bags on my wallets or another Exchange.

Merci dear unicellular being  :D

Or maybe open a "bag only" account at the same exchange (if the exchange allows it). Then apply a "bag only" bot on this account. Just have another API registered, it's free for the same exchange your bot is already paid for.
