Gunbot 6.0.1 General Questions

[Codefinger]

Hi folks,

I've been through the wiki and several vids and still have a few questions. If these are addressed elsewhere in the forum, please let me know.

1)  The SELLLVL variable:  When set to an integer (2 for example), does it:

     (a)  instruct the bot to attempt to sell up through to the stepgain SELLLVL denoted 
       (tries SELLLVL1, SELLLVL 2, and skips SELLLVL 3 as price is rising)

     (b)  or instruct the bot to sell ONLY at that SELLLVL (ignore SELLLVL1 and SELLLVL3)

      How does the bot behave if a stepgain strategy is used and SELLLVL variable is removed or set to zero?


2)  How does the user change the trading pair priority in a given setup? 
     (e.g. in most browsers, one can grab the tab and move it to the right or left.)


3)  When a trading pair config is changed, does clicking the UPDATE button at the bottom of the window update only
      that pair's changes or all pairs in a given setup?


4)  If trading pair configs are changed in the config.js file, will the APPLY CHANGES button on the Dashboard screen
     load the new changes, or does this require a complete restart of gunthy-gui?


5)  I like Firefox, but it's become bloatware.  After an update, I finally got TradingView charts to appear on the page of
     each trading pair.  Chrome runs gunthy-gui much better, and has been updated, but all I get is a spinning wheel
     as it tries to load TradingView charts.

     I've already tried reloading trading pair pages with the firewall completely off, and suspect its a Chrome setting
     somewhere.  Anyone have any ideas?

you should regard SELLLVL as an exit point. you can choose between 3 levels: 1,2 or 3. you can not set it to 0.
you should really read the wiki ...

Values: 1 / 2 / 3 – represents steps. Relevant: only when stepgain is used as selling strategy. This sets which step should be considered when using stepgain as selling strategy. 1: Sell when price rises above SELLLVL1 and stops rising or hits SELLLVL2. 2: Sell when price rises above SELLLVL2 and stops rising or hits SELLLVL3. 3: Sell when price hits SELLLVL3 and stops rising.

Thanks for the reply and clarification.   

I did read the wiki.  I'm coming from 3.3.2 where there were only the 3 buy / 3 sell variables to be assigned.  The fourth variable seemed redundant as an exit point, as using gain (plus a little math on the fly) would produce a similar effect.  I assume then that setting SELLLVL to a null value would either throw an error, or simply prevent any exit on that cycle.

what are you talking about? 332 had three levels of stepgain already ... the only difference is, that here you can choose at which level to enter or exit, as in 332 you per default had to start at level 1. like, if you would now choose BUYLVL:1 and SELLLVL:1, that would be the entry and exit points you had in 332. but now you can skip levels 1 or even 2.

Ah... that makes sense.  In the wiki example, as well as the Stepgain strategy in 6.0.x, there are four SELLLVL variables:

SELLLVL
SELLLVL1
SELLLVL2
SELLLVL3

The same goes for BUYLVL.

I did not understand that the named variable (without an int) was used to select entry / exit point instead of the bot starting at 1 and working up through 3.

Thank you

the function it still retains stepping functionality if set at 1 or 2. set on 3 obviously not, as there is only one level left.

Excellent.  Thanks again.
