Well, I managed to set up MongoDB, works fine, BitBot works well too, but when I make a backtest run, I get -46% profit. Is that because I didn't set it with the best setting or because he had not run long enough? Thanks for any help.

The Backtester will run on the data you have collected up until now, so that might be a very small timeframe and if you are unlucky a profit of -46% is very possible. The default settings I provided are just the most commonly used settings for that indicator. It's up to you to find settings that work for you.

Play around with the indicator settings and candlestick size until you are happy with the back testing result.

Hi 5an1ty,

I have tried to get your bot running on Win7x86, but node.js and the mongo is a bi..h in Windows environment - so I finally give up with Bills crap System...  Huh

I have a technical background but on Linux, Software Development and coding I have to learn a lot.

Now I want to give it a try on a Raspberry PI with Raspbian as OS. I have ordered the brand new Raspberry Pi 2 Model B (900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU, 1GB RAM).

Is this possible and can you give me some tips to run your bot on the RPI with Raspbian (especially for the MongoDB)?.

 v0.9.7 Trading disabled mode now simulates trades
- All remaining BTC-E bugs should be fixed
- When running with trading disabled, BitBot will generate fake trades and manage a fake balance.

Can someone that is using BTC-E please try BitBot and let me know if there are still issues with the API calls?

I'd like to test it on Cryptsy's.
Any schedule for that?

Working on lots of stuff right now (web interface is in the works :-)), I'll look into adding Cryptsy as soon as I get the rest done.

Hello Mr 5an1ty.

First of all, to wish you all the best for 2015.

My questions are :

I've set up and configured everything, I mean mongodb and the config file.

When I start the bot, I stay stucked on the following

[31-12-2014 12:36:06] - INFO: ------------------------------------------
[31-12-2014 12:36:06] - INFO: Starting BitBot v0.9.4
[31-12-2014 12:36:06] - INFO: Real Trading Enabled = false
[31-12-2014 12:36:06] - INFO: Working Dir = C:\Users\jfvarin\Desktop\Bots\BitBot
[31-12-2014 12:36:06] - INFO: ------------------------------------------
[31-12-2014 12:36:06] - INFO: Downloader started!

It doesn't connect to the database.
I checked the db connection using dbhealth and regardless to the errors due to an empty db, I can see the connection with the db monitor.

Any ideas or hints ?

Otherwise, do you have plans to implement cryptsy or should I try to integrate it by myself ?

Anyway, thanks in advance for your answers.

That's strange, can you PM me your configuration settings? Don't forget to mark out any sensitive information like for example API keys.

why did you choose javascript and runs on Node.JS.?

btw, this is a really nice project, gonna look into it Smiley

Thanks, I'm always glad to see that someone appreciates my work.

Well I was interested in automated trading, but when I saw the available options (paid and free) I found them all lackluster.
When I started working on BitBot I didn't have a lot of coding experience and I saw this as an opportunity to start learning.

As for my choice of Node.JS: I was already familiar with JS and I really like the way it writes. Oh and I love the package manager: NPM

Do you have any problem with mongo in mac?

I tried localhost, 127.0.0.1. Sometimes the bot works, sometimes doesn't work. Any idea?

I have never encountered that before, are you sure the MongoDB service is still running and that it doesn't crash?
I don't believe this is an issue with the bot, but more likely an issue with your MongoDB setup.

How did you install MongoDB on OSX? Via Homebrew?
Is the machine permanently on or would it try to hibernate or shut down disk after a period of inactivity?

I don't know this bot, but maybe it want's to sell x percent and x percent of 0.22 btc is less than the minimum trade amount? At least that was one of the problems of my bots.

That is configurable, you can set that if you want, but I don't think that's the problem. I changed a couple of things around in the exchange wrapper code in the latest commit, I hope this solves a couple of problems that users might be experiencing.

But keep in mind a lot of exchanges have a minimum order size configured... 0.22 BTC shouldn't be a problem, but amounts as small as 0.05 BTC might be.

it always trying to say that i dont have enough btc..

Quote
It is not enough BTC in the account for sale.

my btc in btce is 0.005 BTC..is it not enough?

I currently only go as far as 2 decimals, so that's why you get that error message.
You need at least 0.01 BTC for now, but I'll look into supporting smaller quantities.

I also get "It is not enough BTC in the account for sale."

0.22 available in my btc-e account Sad

Can you PM me some more detailed logs. 0.22 should be sufficient to trade so I wonder what's going on.
