Bot won't buy
« on: September 07, 2017, 06:26:25 PM »
The bot is giving me this message:

Quote
ɢƱͶßѺͳ v3.3.4  Tips&Tricks: USDT-ETH can be bought!!!
2|gunthy-l | 2017/09/07 17:22:29: There are some trading opportunities for USDT-ETH at bittrex. Scanning Trade History
2|gunthy-l | 2017/09/07 17:22:29: Last Bid price USDT-ETH: 331.02000012 | Last Ask: 331.76975

There is never a buy order coming through. 

Configs look like this:
Quote
"bb": {
                        "BTC_TRADING_LIMIT": 300,
                        "PERIOD": 15,
                        "HIGH_BB": 45,
                        "LOW_BB": 45,
                        "BUY_LEVEL": 1,
                        "GAIN": 2,
                        "DOUBLE_UP": true,
                        "MIN_VOLUME_TO_BUY": 10,
                        "MIN_VOLUME_TO_SELL": 5,
                        "STOP_LIMIT": 20,
                        "BUY_ENABLED": true,
                        "PANIC_SELL": false,
                        "EMA1": 0.02,
                        "EMA2": 0.04
                },

I'm trying to run some USDT pairs, but the bot almost never makes any trades.  I've fiddled with the configs a lot.  This is with v3, I used to run v4, which will buy, but it is too buggy to keep running.

I would suggest you familiarize yourself with this helpful wiki from Chuck Lauer Vose (vosechu)... https://github.com/meesterdude/gbwiki/wiki

Do not alter name of variable "BTC_TRADING_LIMIT": <- Just put dollar amounts here instead of BTC amounts.

I'm not aware of needing to change "MIN_VOLUME_TO_BUY" when doing USDT, I never do and bot buys and sells fine.

Also there is no "MIN_VOLUME_TO_SELL" that I'm aware of.

Thanks for the link, I haven't seen that one.

Some of my variables are from the Configurator, which generates a config for v4 of the bot.

When I initially tried using USDT pairs, it would trade in tiny, sub $1 amounts.

I've tried about a dozen config changes over the last 3 or so days, it won't made a trade at all anymore.

I'll read over the guide.  Is there any good config generator for v3?  I'm confused because i've seen some people use a file per pair, others run one file with all configs.

Id personally recommend using 3.3.2. Its the most stable in my experience, is the last official release, as well as it has the least complaints in my experience
