Beginners & Help / Re: Gunbot keeps missing out on large profit opportunities

I read the wiki but it seems I didn't fully understand how the steps work. I've switched to and tuned BB and it's been working very well since, thanks a lot for the feedback.

Beginners & Help / Gunbot keeps missing out on large profit opportunities

« on: December 01, 2017, 10:03:14 PM »

I've watched Gunbot several times miss out on big gains by just sitting there saying "Trend is still up !!! Waiting to sell".

2 days ago:

• bought BTC-IOP at 0.00031305
• price jumped to > .00041 (~ 31% - Sell lvl 3 was set to 30%)
• eventually sold at 0.00032477 (3.7%)

Today:

• bought BTC-IOP at 0.00032049
• price jumped to > .000365 (14%)
• price dropped to ~0.000337 (5%) and I manually intervened

I'm using bbstepgain:

Can someone shed some light on how the trendwatcher determines the trend? Why doesn't it sell as soon as the price stops rising once it reaches my sell lvl? I've searched extensively but haven't found any info. Alternatively, is there a way to disable trendwatcher for sells? Or at least force it to sell once it reaches the last sell level?
