Beginners & Help / Re: Minimal amount BTC & "NaN"

« on: December 07, 2017, 05:50:56 AM »

.....
Another question:
When the bot is running, some trading-pairs shows the term “NaN”, what does this mean?

NaN is an acronym and means: Not a Number...

NaN is referring to an incalculable equation..

In context, it means gb can't calculate the exit price until it has made the buy, at which point it then has an entry price from which to calculate the strategy exit price.

mine was a proposal to vicdr's problem of fire selling a coin he wants to ride on a spike....

The main issue was it didn't take into account what average price was paid for all the holding, and as the last price i bought at was the lowest, GB assumed this lowest price as the price paid for all... Sold all at a 5% overall loss... Undid a week's worth of good buying.

But hey, I'm new to this bot and now understand more about it's limitations so won't make that mistake again.

Not an answer to your issue, I know...

But I too am extremely interested to know as I'm completely lost with this and seems different to 3.3.2 so no cues and no documentation as to a reasonable starting point.

Someone here on the forum recommended EMA1:4, EMA2:2, and yet, for 4.0.5 "bbstepgain" parameters standard setup is "EMA1": 2000, "EMA2": 1000.

Without enough info for logical reasoning and conclusion I just don't get it.

It also sporatically buys coins way above the top of the bollinger band, often immediately after selling.

Yes, I've had that too... Sold off all my holding and then bought some back at a higher price... Gee, thanks.

General Discussion / Re: Separate folder to run gunbot or using only one?

« on: August 29, 2017, 01:10:12 PM »

Not that I'm an expert, fairly new to this particular bot (slippery little critter he is)...
But I run multiple folders, one for currency pair AND also separate strategy, so...
example folders: pay-btc-bb, pay-btc-bbgain ... etc
I do this because, for example a bb strategy for one pair may well be different to another pair, so easy to tune on the fly and only affect that one pair.
I just create shortcuts of each .exe pointing to it's relevant folders, shortcut named same as the folder, so easy to start any instance of any pair / strategy, all from one place.

Beginners & Help / updated w/- screenshot - v4.0.5 - why "waiting to cash some BTC"

« on: August 29, 2017, 11:58:46 AM »

As per post subject line...
Why is the callback "waiting to cash some bitcoin" when available BTC is .026+?
Is is misreading available BTC liquidity?
Screenshot attached.

I think it would be nice to have a feature that lets you decide how many BTC you want to keep in portfolio and don't give the GB for trading. This could be handy if you want to withdraw BTC on a regular basis.

e.g.: I configure keep: 0,2 BTC and the bot only trades with BTC above the 0,2 BTC level

What do you think?! Any possibility for this feature in some future releases?

+1. That's a great idea.

I'd been hoarding / accumulating a coin at low prices, awaiting a big surge, which finally came (this morning) 20 minutes after GB fire-sale sold the whole lot - whilst taking into it's math account, only the last buy price.

It's done this with two of my pairs now, more fool me for giving it the keys to the second pair after the first time GB did this.

Beginners & Help / Re: v4.0.5 GB rebuys 5 mins after sell for a higher price at top BB.

« on: August 28, 2017, 04:18:41 AM »

Me too...

My first ever 2 gb trades:

1) unnecessary fire-sale sold all my coins,

2) bought some of them back at a higher price.

Not happy Jan.
