First I'll admit how I got here:  I've all but finished up watching or being concerned with the hardware thread; there's little more to see there from here on out, IMO.  I searched to see if you had left the forums, since I hadn't seen you on the BFL threads, and found this.

This is actually very much closer to my core business than bitcoins, so I'll make a couple of points, regarding EMA's and their use as trading signals.

First, an EMA "period" is actually a product of two dimensions:  sampling frequency and normalized parameter.  Example is easiest.  Say you want to construct an EMA with a period of 6 hours.  You solve for the parameter as \alpha = 2/(6+1),
if you are sampling once per hour.  

But if you sample every minute, then a parameter of \alpha = 2/(6*60+1) will give you a function that is virtually the same as the first, but with the ability to "respond" to signals every minute rather than once an hour.

Second, regarding EMA "signals."  There are two basic triggers used:  simple crossings of the lines, and so-called "directional bindings."  In other words, rules are "trade when price crosses ema", OR "trade when slope of function changes."  Except for "noise," "significance of the binding", or "price confirmation offset", these two rules are identical.  

This is because, by its mathematical construction, an EMA changes slope whenever a current price contributing to the function falls (rises) below(above) the current value of the EMA.

Just some off-top-of-head comments.

I don't think it is as complex as changing software, rather REORDER the manual, so the  RESERVES are dealt with BEFORE the API, even if they are on the bottom of the panel and the API is on the top.

Because the first time the BOT powers up and even though the parameters were set for trades, it  went and sold off all the FIAT it could get its hands on, but from what I could see, the MARKET DID NOT meet the Threshold parameters  for buying coin..........

Currently testing out the trial vs. my btc-e account with default settings. My question is, should I decide to purchase the full blown product near the end of the trial-period would I simply have the option of upgrading my existing trial key?

Trying out the demo for this, would like to utilize this for a stop loss function for this software on bitstamp. I don't wish to have the bot actively trading. Is there setting that will allow the stop loss feature to activate during a crash, but doesn't have the bot making trades all willy nilly?

My bots all stopped getting data from BitStamp @ 0700 this morning (running on multiple machines, so each exchange has tuned settings).

Anybody else seeing this?

Really you should not be using the BOT if you do not understand that it is not 'willy nilly', the whole point is that over time you will see an increase over a 'normal' human trader, but that may include  taking it in the ass once in a while....
There is a 'run test' function and whilst it is a bit basic, it will give you an idea.

For example the recommended settings would have made a significant loss on Mtgox over the past few days.

It gave me enough of an idea to understand the  functionality is not suitable for trading in such a market at the moment, as it stands the BOT is not quite polished enough, and yep I know it makes money, but is also takes rather more 'hits' than it should.

Sean,
  We will track this down and get back to you ASAP, it may have to do with some back end work we are doing.

Please drop me a message if you don't hear from me by tomorrow AM.

Pablo.
