Gunbot does not buy with sufficient USDT balance

[tomnuen]

Hi everyone,

Sorry if this question has been asked before (I already searched and nothing came up).

I set up  USDT/ETH with PP strategy with the following params (Gunbot 5.0.5.5RC)

TRADING_LIMIT: 300
PP_BUY: 302
PP_SELL:310
STOP_LIMIT: 100
MIN_VOLUME_TO_BUY: 30
MIN_VOLUME_TO_SELL: 30

I have 306 USDT balance and ETH price is now 299.50 and gun bot still ***not*** has placed buy order. Is there something wrong?

Thanks all in advance

Isn't he supposed to buy at 302?
PP_BUY: 302

Isn't he supposed to buy at 302?
PP_BUY: 302

Am I correct that gunbot only places buy order when it detects the exact PP_BUY number, in this case 302 and not even 301.99 or 302.01?

I searched a bit and found in Gunthar post : "The PINGPONG section is interesting too: if you see a coin doing side moving and reaching the same price up and down repeatedly (DOGE ?) this could give you good profits: set a price to buy and a price to sell and the bot will keep buying/selling at that price (or better)."

So, it should buy under the PP_BUY value.

Let's say it's a bug.
Maybe switch to v3.3.2 to play PP?

I think you're right, paramecie. It's a bug! The bot does sell at price at or above PP_SELL but not PP_BUY. Let's hope next version out is better.

Cheers
