Beginners & Help / Re: Free TradingView Scripts for Tuning Strategies in Gunbot / GunbotXT

Hi.  Thanks for these.  Talk about power tools!

I'm still getting used to the tools, but I had two quick questions.  Trying to compare a starting point, I had bbrsi set against XVGBTC like you did earlier in the thread.  I noticed that with the newer defaults of 100000 in initial capital and order size, net profit is still 568.76 so as a percentage it's 0.57%.  If I change them back to 10000 for both, I get the 5.69% shown in the SS.  Is it possible that order size isn't working correctly when it's 100000?  I'm not super familiar with the backtesting engine, but if I had had an order of magnitude larger than the defaults before, I'd expect 5687.60 on 100000.

Edit: Changing the amounts seems to work correctly on NEOBTC, but not XVGBTC, strange.

Also, it looks like PERIOD has been removed from settings.  Are you picking that up directly from the period selected on the chart?

But SMAPERIOD also affects the calculation of the bb.  When you hover over SMAPERIOD in the XT GUI, on the strategies tab, under bbstepgain, it actually says to "Use same value as on exchange chart", for me on bittrex, that's actually 20.

From the wiki: This parameter defines the amount of periods to be used for the simple moving average calculation. Set this value to the value used to chart on the exchange. If you want to use SMA 50 on the exchange charts, set this value to 50.

I've experienced the same issue.  Three buys, one bot sell and two manual sells.  My only settings difference from above is my SMAPERIOD is set to 50.

The logs look very strange, it keeps listing the open trade and saying waiting to sell, then in a subsequent round it doesn't even mention the opened trade and says no new opportunities found.  Shouldn't the way it works be once it has entered the sell cycle for an open trade, it should be sold?  The trend watcher says trend is still up, then nothing.  I would think upon that transition, it should sell.
