General Discussion / Re: Bot cancels pre-existing orders when starting

« on: April 28, 2018, 07:48:22 AM »

Answering my own question in case someone else i looking about this.

There is indeed an option to cancel the orders in the configuration https://github.com/GuntharDeNiro/BTCT/wiki/Configuring-Gunbot#bot-settings
Defining it to false, it stops canceling the orders.

General Discussion / Bot cancels pre-existing orders when starting

I noticed that when I start the bot, some manual order I have previously placed are being canceled. Note that the orders and the bot do not have conflicting pairs.

see if it helps to set your API as your master and secondary (use the same API).

The API key is set as master. The issues still occurs. I am not sure what you mean with "secondary".

Technical Support & Development / Re: Gunbot XT Edition - Windows v8.0.3 is unable to check master key on Poloniex

« on: February 17, 2018, 06:08:11 PM »

I have resolved the issue. I was configuring the trading pairs wrongly. There was no BTC-USDT on Poloniex
Only USDT-BTC

From what I can understand of this issue so far, it doesn't have anything to do with pair syntax.

Hello. Unfortunately what you experience is affecting other users as well. There is an open issue here https://github.com/GuntharDeNiro/BTCT/issues/470

Unfortunately after so many reports on this problem, none of the dev team cared to acknowledge or comment on it. So we are left we a useless bot until it is fixed, if ever.

Is there any update on this bug?

This still happens every time I run gunbot.

Yes, seems to be a bug, right?

It does seems so. Please report it here https://github.com/GuntharDeNiro/BTCT/issues

Unfortunately this is an existing problem which is indeed frustrating.

See here
https://gunthy.org/forum/index.php/topic,2814.0.html

and here:
https://github.com/GuntharDeNiro/BTCT/issues/470

The developers haven't yet acknowledged the problem, so we will have to wait.

Technical Support & Development / Re: V8.0.3 Cryptopia - Unable to check Master Key

« on: February 02, 2018, 03:00:35 PM »

I am also getting "Unable to check Master Key" error on random occasions. The bot works for hours and then throws this error and gets stuck in a loop.

Is this a problem with the Gunbot license server not able to validate the key?

Beginners & Help / Re: What is "Result Not Defined" using emotionless in v7.0.2?

« on: January 19, 2018, 08:16:09 PM »

I think I understood what the problem is.
My default config for this strategy was :
   "strategies": {
      "emotionless": {
          "NAME": "emotionless",
          "TRADING_LIMIT": 0.01,
          "FUNDS_RESERVE" : 0.001,
          "PERIOD": 15,
          "BUY_LEVEL": 0.6,
          "GAIN": 0.6,
          "EMA1": 16,
          "EMA2": 8,
          "HIGH_BB": 49,
          "LOW_BB": 49,
          "STDV": 2,
          "SMAPERIOD": 50,
          "PANIC_SELL": false,
          "DOUBLE_UP": false,
          "DOUBLE_UP_CAP": 1,
          "STOP_LIMIT": 60,
          "BUY_ENABLED": true,
          "MIN_VOLUME_TO_BUY": 0.0001,
          "MIN_VOLUME_TO_SELL": 0.0001,
          "TRADES_TIMEOUT": 600,
          "MICROTRADES" : true
      },
, this config I downloaded along with the bot.

and there were not these settings :
            "DU_CAP_COUNT": 3,

            "DU_METHOD": "HIGHBB",

            "DU_BUYDOWN": 2,

after I added them, the errors disappeared, the bot began to work and make averaging (I mean double_up).

My guess is that without these settings, the bot does not understand how to do "double_up"
and shows an error

I hope this helps someone.

Thank you, what you say does make sense. However even after adding the rest of the double up properties that you mention, it still gives me the same error. Also are you sure your bot doubles up? Because the double up property in your configuration is set to False.

EDIT: It seems that after applying your suggestion, the bot did indeed buy using double up (I was just not notified by my notifier, that is why I missed it). Thank you!

Same issue here.  Did you have any luck resolving this?

Unfortunately no. With the limited error reporting in the logs, I am not able to determine what is going on. Let's hope that the devs will take notice and fix this, but that doesn't seem likely since I don't see much development activity or response unfortunately.

Settings are per pair, so each pair will be allowed to trade 0.025 if the reserve is respected.

« on: January 03, 2018, 06:47:13 AM »

I don't think you can do that. The strategies you mention are already a combination of two basic strategies. For example bbstepgain uses "bb" to buy and "stepgain" to sell. Read about it here https://github.com/GuntharDeNiro/BTCT/wiki/About-Gunbot-strategies#strategies-and-combining-them

To further add to sloaleks answer, in order to slow you bot down, go to "Settings" page and choose the "BOT" tab. Then change the value of "BOT_DELAY" to 5.

Beginners & Help / Re: How do I load up pairs to an exchange? How do I stop Gunbot from trading?

« on: January 01, 2018, 03:35:29 PM »

Say I want to trade XRP/BTC. Do I need to have an amount of each coin, or only one of them?

Gunbot uses the syntax BASECOIN-MARKETCOIN.
So to trade the pair BTC-XRP, you will need to have some BTC in order to buy some XRP. So to answer your question directly, no, you only need to have an amount of BASECOIN.

There are also several youtube videos. Most of them are promotional, but you can get the general idea of how it works. As others suggested, read the wiki and the forum. If you get stuck, you can ask questions in this forum.

Beginners & Help / Re: Accidentally Deleted Primary API key

« on: January 01, 2018, 08:38:13 AM »

You are right about backing it up.

What I mean is that if he deleted the api keys from Kraken, there is no way to generate the exact same in order to match your previous ones. For example, my API key is X and I back it up. This is what the bot uses to authenticate. If I go ahead and delete it from Kraken, there is no way to regenerate the API key to be X. Maybe I am wrong?

3. not having proper backup of your files is the mother of all computer fuckups.

Maybe he means that he deleted it from the exchange, and there is no way to generate the exact same key.

« on: December 31, 2017, 11:25:27 AM »

I agree with the advantages that you mention. However, in my opinion there is a significant drawback in holding losing pairs.

You indefinitely withholding trading opportunities on that pair, that could potentially yield profits. The key point here is the time-frame; you can't possibly know when the price will recover, if ever! Furthermore, if you are on a market with few pairs available to trade, then you are left with even fewer!

Technical Support & Development / Re: Python script for push notifications on buy/sell events

« on: December 30, 2017, 02:56:00 PM »

I actually stopped using the notifications, as the websocket provides ambiguous information and it is currently not possible to discriminate between a buy-intent, an actual buy and a possible cancelled buy.

Agreed but it's better than nothing.
