Pair BTC/ETH
Strat: Buy-BB Sell-BB
% Low BB 25
% High BB 25
Gunbot says Low Bollinger Band is 0.0730885 but its price to buy is 0.07120755078166667
Why is the buy price WAY below the low BB?

How long has the bot been running? It may still be using the 3% below EMA as a buy level because it doesn't have enough data on that pair to calculate an accurate bollinger band.

this happens to me too. I set the but:BB and sell:BB but the bot is showing the buy/sell price from the GAIN settings

20 second delays times 806 cycles = ~4.5 hours
Got an answer from Gunthar. He says the Gain number (%gain and buy level) affect your price to buy when running BB strategy regardless of how long the bot has been running. This is not what i had read earlier. I was also under the impression that it just used those until it had enough info to calculate the BB but apparently they affect it at all times.

gain interferes with BB. at what point is dependent on both BB and gain settings. I remember mr. G. somehwre showing a way to make gain not interfere with BB (or to a lesser extent), sadly don't remember how it was set.
I take this as a safety feature. If the Bollinger bands come close, which happens, gain setting will assure you don't loose money.
At least I see it this way. Mr. G. builds a lot of safety features into the bot as to make sure beginers don't start with loosing money. Loosing money comes later, with more experience ... ;D
