PP bot not buying

[Charunks]

Good evening!

I need some help. I have ran gunbot for a couple of days on gdax and binance, but it wont trade, even though there where very nice opportunities to buy and sell according to allansters tuner. I fear that I have some settings set wrong.

Today I started an experiment to see if the bot would trade. I set up a ping pong strategy to make sure I passed buying and selling limits. I passed the buying limit on several occasions, but the bot wont buy.

The bot is not giving errors and it seems to communicatie A-ok with the exchange.
The bot is not in watch mode.

Could someone please point me to the settings I am using wrong?

ok, I seem to have gotten a buy in! I set panic sell to false. I assumed panic sell was combined with the stoploss value; panic sell would toggle the stoploss on. The scripts of the pairs are now saying they are entering a buying cycle.

Can anyone confirm that these settings mutually exclude, or that panic sell is blocking buying orders?

Yes, the bot will sell when your stop limit is reached even with all the other settings exactly as they were when the bot bought.  Panic sell is only to be used when you decide you want to sell your altcoin NOW, no matter what the price.  Panic sell, if you forget and leave that to true after using it, will definitely prevent future buys, and has nothing to do with configuring the stop limit.  The stop limit could be said to be a "thoughtful sell"- ie, without the "panic"- not that the careful trader won't make use of "panic sell" on occasion.  Panic sell should be off at all times unless you are committed to an immediate sell- with no filters or conditions applied.
