Hi all,

I'm a gunbot newbie, not the crypto market, and just started using gunbot for a couple of days. I'm having the following problem and am hoping someone can explain me what (probably) I am doing wrong.

The problem I have is that gunbot isn't buying anything. I started with one pair and ended up running 14 pairs for quite some time now without a single buy. I'm using pure BB strategy. It looks like everytime the price goes down the low BB goes down with it so the 30% of the low BB I have setup is never being reached. For some pairs I have upped the low BB to 45% but with the same result. I have attached a screenshot of the settings of one pair. I'm running this setting for almost all of the pairs.

Can some please explain me why gunbot isn't buying anything?

Thanks in advance.

Sven.

Try and understand how it works with only ONE single pair.

XMR is a descending one - BB can't buy with your settings, depending also when and what you set at the rare moments it was increasing:

Better pick a stable or increasing pair.
Otherwise decrease from 3 to 2 the buy level, but that's a security, I prefer to set it to 4.
Gain should be set lower also: 2% is far too high to start.

I switched to version 5.0.4 now the bot is buying with almost the same settings.

No, degrade to 3.3.2, there are specific buying problems in 5.0.4 (until 5.0.5)
Read my above reply, and do this.

HTH?
