Need help configuring Stepgain

[justin7942163]

Hey, I'll try to keep this brief.

I want my bot to buy as low as possible with Stepgain and sell as high as possible.

Though it only ever seems to buy and sell at 1% below EMA and above average buy.

Basically I want to be able to:

Buy after price rises X% from candle bottom.
Sell after price falls X% from candle top.

This way I can hopefully catch the bottom of trends while also being able to ride out most of a pump. Is this the correct stratergy for what I want or should I be using something else?

Stepgain buys when price is x% below EMA.

If you set

buylvl = 1
buylvl1 = 4
buylvl2 = 12

It will never buy until the price goes 4% below EMA. Once it does, it will try to buy 12% below EMA, as far as the trend keeps going up. In the case the trend starts going down and the price is still above 4, it will buy. Same logic is applied for selling, except the base price is % above buying price.

Right, anyway the way Stepgain works is the same.
