Empty response from exchange... On 5.0.5.5 RC with Bittrex

[nbanks51]

I'm getting a lot of "Empty response from exchange...retrying again..." on a number of Bittrex pairs. What does the message mean? Any idea what's causing this?

Thanks 

[paramecie]

Going too fast?
Try BOT_DELAY from 1 to 30, depending the number of pairs...

Otherwise please wait for 5.0.5.x final version (normally) that is to be released tonight/day.

[nbanks51]

I have disabled all but one pair. Tried with a range of bot delay values. Still get the same error.

[paramecie]

Very abnormal.
Your API Key is fine and checked? Have enough rights (all but withdrawal of course)?
Otherwise post your config (without the keys...)

[nbanks51]

I've been looking into it a lot more and it seems to occur most often when there is a trading opportunity. For example, with BTC-APX it was all working fine EXACTLY until it was time to buy, and then the 'empty response' turns up and it ever buys.

Not sure if it's related, but should SMAPERIOD also be set to 5 if PERIOD is set to 5?

Thanks!!

Oh yes, this is a bad configuration. Well spoted!

[parabellum]

this happened to me while running v5.0.55. the "Empty response" error when in a buying situation and the bot wouldnt make any trades

i switched from BB to Stepgain today and I dont get the error but the bot still hasnt made any trades in 16 hours...

[sloaleks]

yeah, no selllvls.
about sma, ema and period settings, read https://github.com/GuntharDeNiro/Gunthy/releases (not only in last version, scroll down a little bit). these settings are somewhat exchange dependant. so, pay attention to the instructions.

[ruphus]

I'm getting a lot of "Empty response from exchange...retrying again..."

... Same here on Poloniex. No trades in the past and frequently seeing that mentioned message.

i realised that i have this problem too with poloniex and Gunthy_v5055_RC_8ab53b2.

[nbanks51]

I'm still consistently getting it with CERTAIN pairs on Bittrex. Seems like it's far more common with lower volume pairs (BTC-XVG, BTC-APX, in this case).

[ic10503]

Same for me

[The_Taffinch]

Any updates on this? I have the same problem...whenever a buy attempt is made this error is shown. I've tried fiddling with all sort of config combinations.

[garp]

I'm a new user and try to start bb on Kraken. I have the same empty response message.

Edit: I also have the impression there is something wrong with the SMA calculation; It doesn't seem to be correct, hence also the upper and lower bb levels are off.

As a newbie, there's probably something not quite right in there, but I'm not sure it would create the 'Empty Reponse' error?
