Tight margins - Low panic sell threshold
« on: October 04, 2017, 11:49:07 AM »
Hey Guys,

I was just wondering if anyone has had any luck using a fairly aggressive strategy but keep their security margin close (5-10% of purchase price)

In my mind I'm wondering if I can pursuade the bot to buy and sell frequently while a price walks the bollinger bands, then on a dive it buys, panic sells once then waits until it stabilises. 

But then I'm wondering if what I want to happen and reality are two very different things!   ;D

I should clarify, my aim being to reduce holding bags of anything other than BTC for any length of time.

Simply use the STOP_LIMIT at the % you wish to sell.
Example for 5% under, set STOP_LIMIT=5.

Depending the version, it'll work more or less at this % value, or not - sincerely I don't know. But it's what it's suppose to do.

If my mind still works like it should, then the described way in all likelyhood will not bring a lot of profit. But it is by all means possible to set up (or at least it should be).

Your mind's working well. This is an automatized loss making system unfortunately.
