Beginners & Help / Re: Beginner question - how to deal with initial bags?

« on: December 29, 2017, 04:42:13 PM »

In the wiki, they talk about this:   https://github.com/GuntharDeNiro/BTCT/wiki/Handling-bags


I still don't know enough about DOUBLE_UP to actually use it, (how often it buys, how to tweak params, etc...), so I usually do something similar manually.  e.g.

Say I bought 1000 XYZ coins at 2500 sat, and the price is now 1100 sat.  I had my STOP_LIMIT set too high so my bot didn't sell when XYZ dropped.

The chart looks like the price will go back up to around the 1900 sat range in the next day or so.

If I have the resources, I buy another 1000 XYZ at the new price (or lower). 

This reduces my average bought price to 1800 sat (or lower) , so, I change the bot params to sell all at this price or a little higher and wait.

Otherwise, I just sit and hodl.

Excellent idea.  Don't know if any of the devs have seen it though.

I've seen "Enhancement" ideas posted to Gunthar's github at:    https://github.com/GuntharDeNiro/BTCT/issues

It looks like they received faster responses that way.

Beginners & Help / Re: Gunbot Sold All of it???

« on: December 21, 2017, 05:53:40 PM »

Thanks again sloaleks.  I went back and re-read the wiki and found that setting but I think I misunderstood it. 

bbstepgain
TRADING_LIMIT:  0.02
FUNDS_RESERVE:  0.01
GAIN: 2

blah...blah... you know the rest. 

Hmmm...  I'm running 6.0.2, but I don't know if its the final version though.  I think I pulled this one down from Gunthar's github right around the time I got an email saying 6.0.2 was released.  Just found another post saying the most recent version of 602 is here:  https://gunbot.shop/gunbot-xt-edition-gunthy-gui-v6-0-2-final/

Tell me if I've got this down, cause I think I had it backward:

If it only works with the primary coin (BTC in this case), and I'm currently trading with 0.02 BTC in NXT coins,

GB would sell according to the TRADING_LIMIT (e.g.  all 0.02), but

on the next buy it would only buy 0.01 NXT since the FUNDS_RESERVE is set to 0.01.

So,

TRADING_LIMIT determines the amount of Altcoin (valued in BTC, ETH, whatever) to be traded per cycle.

FUNDS_RESERVE determines the amount of primary coin to be held back (if needed) per cycle.

Beginners & Help / Re: BBRSISTEPGAIN VS BBSTEPGAIN

« on: December 20, 2017, 06:32:55 PM »

It's my understanding that the RSI_BUY_LEVEL acts as a second trigger to buy.  I don't know much about DOUBLE_UP since I don't get too many bags that I don't mind hodl.

When I first started testing GB 6.x.x, I used BB and RSI alot to BUY when coin oversold (~25 - 30) and SELL when overbought (70+).  Very easy, but can be very slow.  Can take a while to make a single trade.  BBRSISTEPGAIN and BBSTEPGAIN both work much better for me.

For example:  BBRSISTEPGAIN

If

LOW_BB: 1                              # BUY trigger1
RSI_BUY_LEVEL:  35                #  BUY trigger2
SELLLVL: 1                              #  This setting allows user to select which SELLLVL percentage GB should try to sell at first  (2%, 4%, 70%)
SELLLVL1:  2
SELLLVL2:  4
SELLLVL3:  70


Then GB will only buy when candle reaches 1 (or lower) on bottom Bollinger Band and the RSI value is 35 (or lower). 

SELL order is placed when the trend analyzer sees upward coin price approaching the first chosen SELLLVL percentage.
 
In example above, it will try to sell at 2% first, but try to sell at higher SELLLVL if the trend is still upward.

I like to use this strat when I see a large value coin that swings alot between overbought and oversold.

BBSTEPGAIN does the same thing, but no RSI trigger.  Any RSI setting is ignored.

GB would BUY at candle 1 on bottom Bollinger Band and sell according to STEPGAIN settings.  I use this one on most everything else.


Hope this helps,

Nix

Beginners & Help / Gunbot Sold All of it???

« on: December 17, 2017, 10:29:24 PM »

Hi,

I was holding 0.06BTC worth of a coin, and (thought) I had the strategy configured properly with TRADING_LIMIT set to 0.03.

My bot just sold it all.

Now, I can't complain too much, it was quite a nice profit... but, I'd like to know what I did wrong in configuring that trading pair. 

After setup, I clicked the blue 'Update' button for the pair, then the green 'Apply Changes' back on the dashboard.
The log confirmed the changes were loaded.

In this case, I intended to hodl half the amount / trade half.  How do I correct this in the future?

Thanks,

Nix

Technical Support & Development / Re: Adding New Exchange

Yes, gdax would be an excellent choice.  Especially with coinbase planning to add new coins.  Are there any plans for Gunbot licensing for this exchange?

Technical Support & Development / Gunbot on a Docker Swarm?

« on: December 07, 2017, 11:04:18 PM »

Does anyone have experience running gunbot (5.x.x - 6.x.x) as a container on a Docker swarm?  I'd like to know more about this subject.
