Bugs/Issues tracker v3.2

[OutOfSync]

2 issues to report:

1) "Altcoin on orders" is reported incorrectly in kraken market (did not check other markets):

Situation: I have some ETH that I manually placed a selling order for. Now I started a different pair in kraken from scratch with brand new config and no save file. The ETH on orders is now reported as "balance on order" for the newly started pair and the bot is confused because it thinks we have altcoins but no boughtPrice. This could be mitigated if the "balance on order" is reported correctly for the pair the bot is running.

2) I cannot find the Low BB and High BB values in the "-save.json" file.

Saving these important values would make it easy to write a GUI that reports them over time. I am thinking along the lines of an InfluxDB database with Grafana dashboard tracking all parameters. Would be really nice to tweak the bot.

Thanks Gunthar for an awesome update!

Solved both in patch 2020
Thanks for reporting!

Thanks for including the BB values, this will be really helpful! I was wondering if you can also include the mean value, I think I can calculate this from the latestPrices array but it would just be nice to show lowBB, highBB and mean.

Regarding the "onOrder" issue:
Unfortunately the issue persists, the ETH now shows as alt balance although it still is on selling order ("On Orders" is not shown anymore). gbot complains about "Missing boughtPrice" since it cannot find a record of this altcoin balance. I think in this situation the altcoin balance should be reported as zero and not as the alt coin balance which is on selling order.

Nasty problem, but thanks for taking care of the bugs!

aknowledged and fixed in a patch #2021 i'm pushing in a few.
Thanks for reporting this!

this isnt from 3.2

[Gunthar]

gbot complains about "Missing boughtPrice" since it cannot find a record of this altcoin balance.

MissingBoughtPrice comes because you didnt port the save.json file: basically wasnt the bot to place that sell order.
Please do not use manual orders, they are nto implemented nor they help.

[chimj]

I understand manual trades don't work, but I have 0 balance BTC when I log into kraken, yet GB thinks I have a tiny amount of BTC (6e-9). I bought 0.001 BTC added boughtprice to json, GB sold but then came back with the same error.

 

this is 3.2 with patch 2021 applied (had debug on).

You "think" the bot doesnt: 6e-9 are 0.000000006 BTC on your balance at Kraken which are 0.00000 BTC displayed on kraken balances (roundings is worse than polo at kraken: 5 digits only)

Hi.
In 3.2 with patch 2020
9 pairs were started
On all pairs security margin disappears.
After rebooting the pair all ok

[Gunthar]

~snip

patch 2021 fixed this

[Doesnt Matter]

Gun,
Some days ago you changed SECURITY_MARGIN that way that it is working like a real stop-loss at a certain percentage of the bought price. I think this is exactly what people expect when they set this parameter.

But you changed it only for BB, not for the other strategies. When you provided the 'fix' (it isn't, I understand that you had another intention with the original way it was programmed) it was only the BB.js.

Do you mind to change it for every strategy? Otherwise the bot is not acting predictable for people who don't know that the same parameter does work different across the different strategies...

Thanks!

[OutOfSync]

Hi Gun,

thanks again for ironing out all the bugs and patiently explaining things! Would it be possible to change v3.2 so that lastestPrices are reloaded when we restart the bot? I think you added this to v3.1 at some point and it was really useful for setting up the BB. I hate it when the bot needs to recalculate stats for hours. I understand that this might be dangerous when the bot was switched off for some time because the values are too old and not accurate anymore. Could this be an optional setting in the config? Something like "LOAD_LATEST_PRICES_ON_START: false" as default but so that we can change it if we are aware of the associated risks? That would be awesome!

Thanks again!

[nixxda]

@OutOfSync to me it looks like 3.2 BB needs 3 cycles to calculate its values!? but I might be wrong and the values showing up are ...?.. something else!

@Gunthar "Patch 2022" seems to have fixed my spastic quadruple buy order problem! and all my to-big positions sold already with a profit! 
and on the certain eventuality that I haven't said so already, Thanks  for cleaning up all the config files in 3.2! Its really nice to work with now  

[OutOfSync]

@OutOfSync to me it looks like 3.2 BB needs 3 cycles to calculate its values!? but I might be wrong and the values showing up are ...?.. something else!

It shows BB values after 3 cycles because you need at least 3 values to calculate standard deviation. However, until stats are calculated (300 cycles with default settings) the bot does not use BB strategy but the GAIN value (2% as default). 300 cycles with default delay of 120 s is 10 hours untils BB stats are done. This is just quite long if you have to e.g. update the binary and hotconfig is therefore not possible...

A trick if you know you are going to do a quick restart: save your save.json file in another folder > start yor bot > copy/paste yoru old save.json file while the bot is already running. Dont do that if you stop yrou bot for long time tho: you will get weird standard deviation

I've stopped gunbot and restarted but still, boughtPRice undefined and priceToSell not set.  Although, we know the price was 0.01393514.

Is it the nonce errors?  Did I do something wrong with the API?

[cw]

Kraken, 3.2, looks like low value coins uses wrong price in the API call.  Yes, I know it's DOGE and yes, I know it's a memecoin.  I have my settings for high percentage pumps and I like to play around with them.

Notice the price is in the 7.7e-7 format instead of a real number format.
