Is anyone else having the problem where the bot will simply refuse to sell ? Last night my bot bought PPC @ 4.5, and should have sold @ 4.6 (this is what the benchmark indicates), yet it didn't and now PPC has dropped to 4.3, putting me in the red. Has anyone else ever seen this, where the bot doesn't sell, when it actually should ? I'm using PPO+RSI currently.

dldavis007 thank you for the clarification.

im a little bit confused. is it right that when i want a buying and selling bot i need to fill out both trade bots? For example trade bot 1 is in buying mode and trade bot 2 is in selling mode? Or is it possible that trade bot 1 can do both the selling and buying part?

subhead,


Each bot will do the buying and selling.  You can set up just 1 bot to do your trading, or you could set 1 bot up to trade BTC and the other bot could be setup to trade LTC.

1. I can't connect to Cryptsy too, getting the same error.

2. For guy who asked why he is getting more dollars but less coins - unfortunately, all these bots that use EMA, MACD indicators are designed to make you dollar profit, not btc. It's same with Butter Bot, use any of their Benchmark and you'll see that profit is calculated in dollars but btc quantity goes down.

3. Stephan, will current users of Simple Bot have discount for Advanced Bot? It's great improvement, 2 trade bots are just not enough.

The biggest problem with this bot that takes away huge amount of possible profit is that it buys directly from ask walls. There is 4$ gap on btc-e btc/usd with big walls just above the buy price and bot executed the buy order. Those 4$ are probably twice profit of what bot would sell for but with buying from ask walls it pretty much kills any chance of profit unless some mini rally starts.

That's huge problem really and it makes bot very risky to run but with some satoshi size orders and there's no money in dust amount trades.

@seleme:
The cryptsy problem has been reported by some other users too (not all), its seems to be related to the BTC side of the wallet. I did take a look at this issue already and i found that if there is anything on any other side of your wallet (eg LTC) the test will pass. I also found out that trading with BTC still works.

Of course this issue will be solved as soon as possible, but maybe my findings are usefull already to get it working before i fixed it.

About the Simple Bot and Advanced bot... do not worry to much, of course i will favor the current users for the advanced version. I recommend you to just wait to see what i will introduce for both. I have made statments before about a huge update (from 0.8 to 0.9), everybody was very happy back then and i am sure this will happen again.

BTW can you please edit your posts instead of writing a new message each time? Your are flooding the topic a bit this way. Thanks.

i have put some PTS into my cryptsy wallet and i still getting the api error when performing the api test.  

edit: i have messed around with the advanced settings. can someone please post the default settings? it would be nice if an "reset to default" button could be implemented.

cheers

Stephan,

While trying to analyze the different indicators offered by your trade bot, I decided to create a spreadsheet so I could see what the different indicators would do with some historical data.

I created a MACD-MA Indicator using the following algorithm:

MACD is the 12 period EMA - 26 period EMA
Signal is the 12 period EMA of the MACD
Histogram is the MACD - the Signal
EMA = Price(t) * k + EMA(y) * (1 – k)
t = today, y = yesterday, N = number of days in EMA, k = 2/(N+1)

I noticed that your indicator acts a little differently than my indicator (see picture).

I was wondering if you could share the algorithms you used for your MACD and PPO indicators.

Thanks,
