General Discussion / Re: GUNBOT v5: Setting up your BB strategy to match CHARTS

« on: September 22, 2017, 10:41:38 PM »

It'll have to set how to report back here, using Sjakil's GUI makes it a different process...

I'm using Sjakil's GUI too and I am looking for the settings in Gunbot so that Gunbot matches Sjakil's GUI and I can match it in Bittrex. When in Bittrex I add the BB's to the chart with a SMA period of 10 and a 5 minute candle stick the Bittrex chart matches Sjakil's GUI exactly (when I have Sjakil's GUI at 5 minute candle stick which I prefer). By reading a lot of posts I think I understand how to set it up, please do correct me if I'm wrong

Now to setup Gunbot (using version 5.0.4) to "see" exactly the same as Sjakil's GUI I think I need the following settings:

Bot settings:
      "period_storage_ticker": 2000,     (See calculation below)
      "interval_ticker_update": 15000,  (I prefer 15 second ticker update)

BB strategy settings:
         "PERIOD": 5,      (5 minute candle stick which I use in Sjakil's GUI and what I prefer)
         "STDV": 2,         (Default setting used by Sjakil's GUI and default setting in Bittrex)
         "SMAPERIOD": 200,    (See calculation below)

The calculation of the SMAPERIOD is: (10*5*60)/15 = 200
   10 is the SMA period Sjakil's GUI uses
   5 is the candle stick period which I prefer
   60 is minutes
   15 is the interval ticker divided by 1000

So to force Gunbot to use the 10 period SMA the SMAPERIOD setting must be 200

Because the 10 period SMA and 200 tickers per period the period_storage_ticker must be 2000


Hopefully someone can confirm this is the correct way to set Gunbot to match Sjakil's GUI ?

Ahw, so that's it. Thank you very much.

I have just disabled buying as it just isn't reliable for now.

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

Beginners & Help / Strange buy moments

« on: September 22, 2017, 07:00:16 PM »

Hopefully someone can explain me the buy moments almost directly after a sell, see red arrows in the picture.
I'm using bbstepgain with the settings below, shouldn't it have bought at 25% of the lowest band instead of somewhere close to the upper band?

   "bot": {
      "debug": false,
      "period_storage_ticker": 2000,
      "interval_ticker_update": 25000,
      "timeout_buy": 60000,
      "timeout_sell": 60000,
      "WATCH_MODE": false,
      "VERBOSE": true,
      "TV_GAIN": 0.6,
      "TV_TRADING_LIMIT": 0.001,
      "BOT_DELAY": 1


      "bbstepgain": {
         "BTC_TRADING_LIMIT": 0.025,
         "PERIOD": 15,
         "HIGH_BB": 40,
         "LOW_BB": 25,
         "STDV": 2,
         "SMAPERIOD": 150,
         "SELLLVL1": 2,
         "SELLLVL2": 5,
         "SELLLVL3": 10,
         "SELLLVL": 2,
         "LASTPOINTS": 5,
         "AVGPOINTS": 250,
         "AVGMINIMUM": 1e-8,
         "EMA1": 2000,
         "EMA2": 1000,
         "PANIC_SELL": false,
         "DOUBLE_UP": false,
         "STOP_LIMIT": 99,
         "BUY_ENABLED": true,
         "MIN_VOLUME_TO_BUY": 0.001,
         "MIN_VOLUME_TO_SELL": 0.001

Thanks in advance

Extra info:

The moment I cancelled the remaining QTUM buy order in Bittrex, Gunbot stopped giving me the error message and is now showing the 15 bought at the correct price.


For what I have seen, as long as there is an buy order in Bittrex which is not completely fulfilled and Gunbot isn't able to get the price for the partial buy, Gunbot also isn't able to sell it.
After the partial buy the price went up way more then my gain %, but no sell was possible.

I'm having this issue too currently in Bittrex. I think it has to do with the buy order not being completely fulfilled.

For me, Gunbot has made a buy order for 17.7 QTUM for a specific price, but was only able to buy 15. As long as the order is not completely fulfilled it doesn't show up in the order history.

Because the order isn't showing up in the order history it probably can't request the bought price.

Beginners & Help / Gunbot not buying, seems to keep lowering BB as the price goes down

« on: September 21, 2017, 09:56:08 AM »

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.
