Technical Support & Development / "cannot execute binary file: Exec format error" on Debian on OrangePi PC2

« on: December 05, 2017, 12:09:28 PM »

Anyone tried running this on Debian?

I consistently get this error when running on Debian on an OrangePi PC 2:

-bash: ./gunthy-linx64: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

and

-bash: ./gunthy-gui-linx64: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

Anyone running on Debian?

Hi everyone - anyone got any updates on when we can expect the next release?? It has been a while now!

Technical Support & Development / Re: Empty response from exchange... On 5.0.5.5 RC with Bittrex

« on: October 15, 2017, 04:39:31 PM »

I'm still consistently getting it with CERTAIN pairs on Bittrex. Seems like it's far more common with lower volume pairs (BTC-XVG, BTC-APX, in this case).

I've been looking into it a lot more and it seems to occur most often when there is a trading opportunity. For example, with BTC-APX it was all working fine EXACTLY until it was time to buy, and then the 'empty response' turns up and it ever buys.

Not sure if it's related, but should SMAPERIOD also be set to 5 if PERIOD is set to 5?

Thanks!!

Thanks

Thanks for those pointers -- much appreciated.

I have tried Gunthar's recommended settings today (similar to what you suggested in your previous post). I still have the same issue. The bot sells, only to buy back again a few minutes later at a higher, or negligibly lower price (thus making a los because of fees).

This behaviour seems to be very very consistent. See in the screenshot from today.

My 5.0.x license seems to be working now. So perhaps I will give 5.0.4 a shot. Looking forward to 5.0.5!

Thanks again!

Right, but in all fairness, having bought a product there is rather an expectation that ought to work.

I am running 3.3.2, as you suggested. Apart from the relentless barrage of technical issues (Bittrex errors galore, getting stuck on open orders, et al.), I seem to be having precisely the same problem that I encountered with 4.0.5.

Gunbot seems to insist on buying again as soon as it has sold, often far above the SMA and EMA. (see both on the left and right of attached screenshot).

Given the popularity of this bot, I can only assume that my settings are at fault or that I am doing something else wrong.

Thanks for the help, paramecie!

I still don't have a reply from Gunthar. It has been almost a week now since my first message to him.

In the meantime I am painfully using 4.0.5. Consistently seeing this blatantly incorrect behaviour.

So at this point I am rather at a loss - Gunbot is completely useless for me.

OK thanks guys!

My license doesn't seem to be enabled for v5. I'm right in understanding that Gunthar has to specifically enable that for each license, right?

I sent him a message but received no reply. Is there any other to get it working?

Cheers!

Gunbot appears to quite consistently be buying at terrible times. It often sells only to buy back again shortly afterwards at a HIGHER price, usually near a peak. Why is this happening?

If there is not enough data for bb, this behaviour STILL doesn't make sense to me. It should be buying 1% under EMA in that case, right? So is it possibly something to do with my EMA settings? Should they be set to EMA1:200 and EMA2:50? Or 0.02 and 0.04?

Seems there's a LOT of confusion about what unit these EMA values are in for 4.0.5.

Thanks!

It's exact! BB (Bollinger Bands) pure strategy does not work here without applying EMA1 & EMA2.

As noted in other threads, normally Bollinger Bands should not use EMA1 & EMA2, but it should be based on SMA which is a completely different thing...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bollinger_Bands

Well EMA is used until there is enough data for bb strategy.

Hello,

I have the latest version 4.0.5 (Windows) and I really need some help about EMA 1 & EMA 2 values that we should enter for Poloniex! I searched a lot (check in the image) and found values like 0.04 & 0.02, 2 & 4, 200 & 50 !! Which are correct?

When applying a pure BB strategy do we really need EMA 1 & EMA 2 for the bot to function? I say that because when we create BB we need first to Middle Band = 20-day simple moving average (SMA). SMA is not exactly the same as EMA 1 & EMA 2. I am also a little bit confused about that...

thanX in advance
Nick

Did you get any answers on what the correct EMA1 and EMA2 settings are?

OK I see. So if the Bollinger Bands are not yet ready, then the buys are determined by the BUY_LEVEL setting.

I don't have BUY_LEVEL set currently, so I assume it is defaulting to some un-ideal value.

I've set buy level to 3%, so I'll see how that goes.

Thanks for your help!!

Thanks for your reply.

The 5min setting you see there is just for the chart though - the period for the strategy is set to 15mins.

GAIN is set to 2, so even if it were using GAIN because the Bollinger Bands weren't ready, the behaviour still doesn't make much sense to me. Or have I misunderstood how the gain setting works?

You can see the same strange behaviour here on another chart from another pair.

Thanks!

I'm new to Gunbot and have been using it with Sjakil's GUI so far. All looked fine until I noticed this BUY trade that seems not to make sense given that I am running bb strategy with the following settings.

I noticed another similar trade on another pair as well. It has got me quite confused 

I'm sure I am misunderstanding something. Can anyone explain?

Thanks!
