Situation 1: why didn't the bot sell?




The price went 0.07% above the "sell at" gain line ... Why didn't it sell?


Situation 2: why didn't the bot buy?





The price dropped below the DCA buydown of 0.25% ... Why didn't it buy?


Another (or maybe related) issue:

The bot only does 2 DCA's after the initial purchase.
The 3rd one doesn't work:



I can see a lot of errors in the log file, related to the DU. Maybe it has something to do with it?

Code: [Select]

AVERAGING DOWN!!!
The value of this coin dropped below bought price (0.05474200146359769). Proceeding with DU!

I found out why it didn't buy.

Binance uses minimum trading value of 10USD.
Starting from an initial trading limit of 25, my DU's should theoretically be as follows:
* 25
* 50
* 10  <= but this was often times a little bit less than 10USD, let's say 9,8. And then the buy didn't go through

So I changed my trading limit to 25, and now it buys all the DU's.
