General Discussion / Re: how to buy at a percentage under the lowB

« on: April 12, 2020, 04:21:58 PM »

took your advice and turned off the Take buy and take profit, just left BB with trailme for buying which i think is the same as bb with tssl.

and  for selling i'm using Gain with a fixed 0.5% also with trailme also like a gain with tssl right?

but the setting i dont understand is the lowBB in the indicator settings

1 - Low BB set to    0 = entry point  157.37193000 PAX
2 - Low BB set to -10 = entry point  156.94266000 PAX

The setting is not being ignored as I initially though but is not what i understood from the wiki

"When set to 0, the lower Bollinger Band is the target. When set to 30, the target is 30% above the lower Bollinger Band - the upper band is at 100% from the lower band. Negative values are allowed."

so if i'm not wrong if i set the value to -10 the target would be 10% under the "Low bb" but i dont see how 0.42927 PAX would be 10% of 157 PAX, may be is not 10% of the price??? what  i am  missing here?

Hi mate,

negative signal value it means it will be - the lowest point (0) of the BB LOW_BB that also is calculated by the SMAPERIOD (number of candles gunbot will use to calc the lowbb and highBB  , so if u set a -5 it will try to buy at -5% of low_bb based in your period and LOW_BB. A negative value in the LOW_BB can b extremely useful if market is bearish, so u buy post dump usually taking a good position then u can mix the strategy with a gain  for sell and use stochRSI cross to sell your bag, that's just an example.

As well you can check BBTA strategy is slightly different behaviour, gunbot only will buy when price return to the low_bb, that one is even more effective in bearish market.

trick: you can change standard_deviation value to narrow or wide your bb.

Hi Bro, thx for your time

when you mean

 

so if u set a -5 it will try to buy at -5% of low_bb based in your period and LOW_BB.

but -5% of the price or 5% of something else?

or does the fact that after saving the setting bot restarts and  loses the candles it had gathered? or does it keep track of them in the json?

I made this test for example:

Checked the entry point when it was 0 the immediately changed the Low BB to -10 and the result is only 0.4 pax from 157 pax thats even a fraction of 1% not near the 10% decrease i was expecting i made this test because i was afraid that the bot was ignoring this setting.

1 - Low BB set to    0 = entry point  157.37193000 PAX
2 - Low BB set to -10 = entry point  156.94266000 PAX

yeh i have the bbta in my list of things to test, just playing around trying to understand the bot and find a good strategy.

Hi,

that depends on the period u use, so it's not the same 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, Daily.

So there's not a perfect match for what u're asking, u need to backtest in tradingview and check what values works for you in each alt coin u want to trade, there's not exact values or default values for all coins and as well depends on market structure.

Take your time to backtest with allanster free bb tool in tradingview.

General Discussion / Re: How to make my gunbot buy multiple times, and which are the settings

« on: April 01, 2020, 12:37:44 AM »

I want to make my Gunbot to buy 25% at certain point but if the price drops even further, configure it to buy more in orders of 25 % each time, with tssl strategy.

which are the settings that would allow me to configure this behavior.

Good night,

as well you could use RT to sell your quota and buy at a lower level without the need to spend more base, here you can find more info:

General Discussion / Re: Reading Gunbot indicators from my C program?

« on: March 31, 2020, 10:30:37 PM »

Gunbot core injects the datasets of information needed by Gunbot in the state files, you can locate those files in the json folder.

./json

they are named like this EXCHANGE-BASE-PAIR-state.json

inside the json you will find each field that are displayed in the core.

So mainly directly reading that file from your program you could be able to build anything you need like a profit tracker for example.
