@kalross:
The feezing issues will be solved, i am working on a new project with support multi-threading and trading. In time i will again update all the simple bot users to this new interface. So improvement is coming, but it will take me at least a month to be ready for realease.
@mevius:
If you set your drop-loss price to 97% and the buy prices begint to drop 2% the drop-loss will kick in. This is as designed. The recommandation of 98% or 95% is just a number. You need to look how much the currency is changing to ensure the 98% will not be hit, unless there is a coin value crash.
Stephan:
Look forward to the new interface.
Regarding drop loss...I have seen a market today where somebody makes an artificially low value trade (on a flat lining market) which can trick drop loss into activating. Then the currency rises. It's quite difficult at the moment to buy back in quickly and that is the issue I've been having and each time it happened I made a loss much larger than any profit. Maybe it is my settings...but I've benchmarked with many different ones and the only thing that just avoided it was to set to 85%-88% which is generally too low for safe and normal trading for me.
Maybe if the drop trigger was smoothed...it would avoid these problems?

I'm just reporting my observations really....maybe there is a better setting I could use...but I'm not sure.
