Gunbot Sells, Never Buys (Binance)

[Dfgladwell]

I am on Binance and I have been trying to get Gunbot to work for me since version 7.0.2. I have tried many strategies with god knows how many tweaks, and nothing. I played around with the setting, and nothing. This whole Gunbot experience has been so frustrating that at one point I tried to sell the bot, but couldn't even do that. No one wanted it, that should say something there.
It's extremely annoying to watch the bot sell then blow way past the buy point, not buy, then watch the coin rise back up and loose out on gains. This has happen to me every time I have tried using this bot over the past 5 months. I figured I would give it another shot today with the new update, thinking the problem would be fixed,  just for it to happen again.
So far this bot cost me more and more money as I use it, and no one buys it in the market place, so if there is anyone out there that can tell me why this is happening, I would really like to see some sort of gain from it so I don't feel totally ripped off.

Here is the strategy I used today:

            "BUY_ENABLED": true,
            "BUY_LEVEL": 0.1,
            "SELL_ENABLED": true,

            "RT_MAXBAG_PROTECTION": 10,
            "RT_BUY_BUYDOWN": 2,
            "RT_SELL_BUYDOWN": 1,
            "AIRDROP": false,
            "TRAIL_ME_SELL": false,
            "TRAIL_ME_BUY": false,
            "TRAIL_ME_RT": false,
            "TRAIL_ME_DU": false,
            "TRAIL_ME_SELL_RANGE": 0.5,
            "TRAIL_ME_BUY_RANGE": 0.5,
            "PANIC_SELL": false,
            "STOP_LIMIT": 60,
            "MIN_VOLUME_TO_BUY": 0.001,
            "MIN_VOLUME_TO_SELL": 0.001,
            "TRADES_TIMEOUT": 0

Here are some of the strategies I have tried in past version: emotionless, bb, tssl, stepgain, bbstegain, pp. I have tweaks with the setting and strategies over and over, all with the same results. Always sells, never buys.

Thanks for any help.

Hello,

Is there any override in your Settings -> pairs? Do you migrate settings from one version to another? Fresh OS installation etc has been tested out?

[Dfgladwell]

Hello,

This was a fresh install, with no override settings. 

[@g@t@]

Have you tried to increase trading limit?

"TRADING_FEES": 0.1,
"TRADING_LIMIT": 0.01,
"MIN_VOLUME_TO_BUY": 0.0012,
"MIN_VOLUME_TO_SELL": 0.0012,

Hello,

This was a fresh install, with no override settings.

I had the same problem with v9.5.1 with TradingView placing the orders.

I just ended up downgrading to v9.4.3.

[Dfgladwell]

I have tried the levels set to:

            "TRADING_FEES": 0.25,
            "TRADING_LIMIT": 10,
            "FUNDS_RESERVE": 0.0001,
            "MIN_VOLUME_TO_BUY": 1,
            "MIN_VOLUME_TO_SELL": 1,

I tried it last night, on 6 different pairs, that were all on a downward trend. When I got up this morning, all 6 pairs were back up and not a single coin was purchased. All 6 pairs went past their buy point, but the bot failed to buy.

I also noticed in my folder there are 2 config.js files. One in the root directory. This one has no changes (I noticed this when it was pointed out above to up my values, when I thought I already did). So I checked my GUI. and was showing the edited values there, but when i opened the config.js nothing was changed. When I searched a little deeper, I found another config.js file located in the "setup" folder. This folder had my setting saved to it. Is this how the bot should work or is the fact that I have 2 config files in 2 different places, with 2 different values, messing things up. Even after a clean install the bot places both config.js files back in the same spots.

Thanks for any help.

Dfgladwell , I also had the same impressions and experience like you after two months of use (started with the v8). I tried everything to get the bot going more aggressive but it is true that it tends to miss at least half of the buy opportunities. I tried it on home server and contabo VPS , the results were not so different. It's always like a dog chasing his own tail , waiting for the best moment and then when the moment is gone , it's gone for good. I spent a month testing , tweaking , and watching it operate in BINANCE as well, it was a frustration. I hope things will get improved because the tweak and indicator possibilities look awesome. I didn't tested the version 9 in large for the moment. In and between i switched to another bot solution with much less tweaks but more accurate moves.

Thanks for the replies. I think, I too, just have to chalk this bot up as a loss and move onto another one that might actually work. I'm literally, sitting here, watching it happen again as I type this out. I can't waste anymore time and money on this thing. I can see why they stopped with the refunds. If someone out there is planning on buying this to use with Binance, do not waste your time and money.

What are your bot settings then?
