Technical Support & Development / Feature request : gunbot to switch to different configs on given market conditio

« on: June 16, 2017, 03:16:18 AM »

Description:
What if gunbot switch automagically to different configuration set under certain market conditions (i.e. BTC price dropped with x% for the last x minutes)

Current situation:
As we all know, gunbot should not be stopped in moments of P&D or specific BTC corrections.  There is also a request to add a 'pause' feature so that the gunbot kepp tracking the price, but just not to buy in case of big falls.

Request:
Well, I think that there is a better solution:
what if we have two folders with config files - one folder with config files for trading on a 'normal' day and another folder containing config files for special  'stormy' market conditions.  And in a given 'panic configuration' (like sell volume, price drop of x% for the past x% cycles) the both simply loads the second folder. Now what we put there is up to us - different strategy, different MAX_NUMBER_OF_TRADES, etc.

Additional :
I am doing this manually right now - I have prepared 3 folders with 3 different strategies (sunny, typical,storm). And when I see BTC fall I run the script to copy the config files, even including ALLPAIRS (heck, I also change the candelstick period in such cases) in the gunbot folder and hotconfig kicks in with no problems.
So consider it something like "poor man's CryptoWally solution" - one strategy for normal trading and another strategy for huge pumps, but without the need of additional account and capital.

I'll be glad to hear your opinion on this

Cheers

Technical Support & Development / Re: Market Buy/Sell Orders lead to losses

The problem is fixed in patch 2019: moved to limit. Apparently the issue is that we dont get "market" price from their api, we get "average" price. Reference: https://support.kraken.com/hc/en-us/articles/203325783-Market-and-Limit-Orders

I confirm problem solved with patch 2019

Technical Support & Development / Other pairs on hold while one pair has a pending (untouched) order

« on: May 12, 2017, 06:30:10 PM »

When one Pair places an order that is not yet executed, all the rest of the pairs pretend to have the same order for their currency.
This holds all the other pairs to proceed normally

Settings:
Gunbot v3.2, win headless, Buy strategy: BB, 25%; sell strategy: GAIN 3%, bot delay: 60s

Details:
Gunbot placed a buy order for LTC that was processed with a delay of some minutes by Kraken.
Meanwhile, all the rest of the pairs that were about to proceeed with a buy/sell had the same message:
2017/05/12 00:40:10   Waiting for orders: 370.248 XLTC    , for LTC
2017/05/12 00:26:33   Waiting for orders: 370.248 XXLM   , for XLM
2017/05/12 00:26:07   Waiting for orders: 370.248 XETC   , for ETC

etc. etc.

Technical Support & Development / GUnbot or Kraken issue

« on: May 12, 2017, 06:12:48 PM »

UPDATE :  Issue not reproducible anymore after patch 2019 is applied. Thanks!


I don't even know how to summarize this  - crazy things are happening

Description:
Gunbot is placing market orders and Kraken says they are cancelled (for some reason), but at the end Gunbot is selling less amount that it purchased and Kraken accepts. But because those are market orders.... this game is not funny for me.
Please check attached log files and screenshots.

Additional details:
I used an old -save.json file in order to reuse the BB calculation, and had some leftover amounts I did not see in Kraken (0.00000036). i bought some volume to reach 16 ICNs. Gunbot spit an error for unknown bought price, so I immediately sold the 16 ICN.

Technical Support & Development / Market Buy/Sell Orders lead to losses

« on: May 12, 2017, 05:47:34 PM »

When the time to buy has come, gunbot puts market order to buy to a price that is in reality incorrect.

Settings:
gunbot v3.2, buy strategy: BB, 25%; sell strategy: GAIN 3% 5%, bot delay time: 60s

Description:
Having lower 'bought price' leads to inappropriate calculations of the GAIN % (sell strategy is GAIN). Afterwards, because sell orders are also market the result is unpredictable and at least in my case all trades lead to losses.
