After returning from 5.055 back to 5.04 no trades in days
« on: October 21, 2017, 08:00:39 PM »
Hey Guys/Botters,

since 5.055 is not running properly (empty response - other threat) I started 5.04 again. I did some little changes in my config, but I can not get, why it is not trading at all now for days...

The Console even says things like
"There are some trading opportunities for XXX_XXX at poloniex. Scanning history...""
and
"Tips&Tricks: XXX_XXX can be sold!!!"
Only warning I can find is: "WARNING: We coulnt get a BOUGH_PRICE for XXX_XXX. Please manually override it using config.js"
Does this error mean, that I need to manually put a BOUGHT_PRICE for every pair I use?!

I would be glad if someone finds any crucial errors in my bb-config. (most pairs run bb, some stepgain, some bbstepgain, some bbgain)

this config is for vers. 5.04
Code: [Select]

"bot": {
"debug": false,

"period_storage_ticker": 2000,
"interval_ticker_update": 25000,

"timeout_buy": 60000,
"timeout_sell": 60000,

"WATCH_MODE": false,
"VERBOSE": false,
"TV_GAIN": 0.6,
"TV_TRADING_LIMIT": 0.001,
"BOT_DELAY": 13
},
"strategies": {
                    "bb": {
"BTC_TRADING_LIMIT": 0.005,
"PERIOD": 15,
"EMA1": 2,
"EMA2": 4,
"GAIN": 1.0,
"HIGH_BB": 42.5,
"LOW_BB": 42.5,
"STDV": 2,
"SMAPERIOD": 30,
"PANIC_SELL": false,
"DOUBLE_UP": false,
"STOP_LIMIT": 97.5,
"BUY_ENABLED": true,
"MIN_VOLUME_TO_BUY": 0.0001,
"MIN_VOLUME_TO_SELL": 0.0001
},

Greetings

I have the exact same situation. I am unable to run anything newer than V5.04, and I have been running it more or less non-stop since I bought it ~2-3 weeks ago now and it hasn’t made a single trade. Nothing at all.

If it wasn’t for all the people around here claiming that the bot works for them I would be feeling quite scammed by now for buying a bot that does nothing. Please make sure you post here again if you find a solution because you are not alone with this problem!

@ ruphus
"Tips&Tricks: XXX_XXX can be sold!!!"

no, just the ones bought in the previous session and if the bot signals missing bought price.
you do it like way down on the config (there's an example). right after the sale you should delete the override. all next buys will have the bought price noted, except if your exchange transfers the buy order into the archives (so, a long time bag maybe). the bot can't read archived orders (at least on my exchange it can't).

as for the BB, you are aware BB is bugged in 504, yes? low BB 42 is more or less a real high BB. I have found that low BB 01 in 504 roughly corresponds to the BB median, or close BB as they call it sometimes. I run low BB anywhere from 01 to -30. yes. that's a minus in front of the value.

In the end I downgraded to 4.05, which is running now. Additionally I manually got rid of most bags and sold most pairs by hand to get something like a clean start.

Now it is trading again. Thank you for any help. I will not update to any 5.x version for now...
