Well, as Chrome would say:
"He's dead, Jim"

CAT has frozen, I will be ending the test after 6 days I will get all the data and compile a final report.

Looking forward to it. Quick question. What do you personally prefer do with the unfilled buy orders on the way up? Or the unfilled sell orders on the way down?

I personally just use the left over coins to do Sell orders, you may take a loss as you might not have sold them for what you brought them but at least you get some work out of them.

For the trial i just sold them all and did only Buy orders.

Great Work Lebrick  Cool
It's a shame that actually Cryptsy is too much slow and the result are compromised by this factor.
I hope you will re-do a 7d/24h run test when the site will be ok.  Wink

Cheers Sampey, and ya i will do it again when Cryptsy gets up and running better. I do agree that this lag on Cryptsy really effects the results. Just went to check balances in CAT to see the gain and well... she froze again trying to get that data.

I may end the test after 6 days and wait for Cryptsy to get those servers up.

Trial has once again begun, new markets have been chosen. Not 17 this time reduced to 12 but have put more XBT into the trades.

Kudos to you! Continue on with your analysis.

I am listening to kunninglinguist and putting my left over orders to work.

The reading support is always appreciated  Grin

Day 5 is complete only a short trading day of about 9 hrs. Day 6 has begun.

Day 4 Complete stats are up.


Days comments:

It seams all the markets now are either slowing down or CAT has hit a spot that it cant PING from from, will be selling all ALT coins and starting CAT once again.

As you can see the last trade was executed at 21:48 which is about 5hrs of no trading from my current time 03:40.

Cryptsy is also really slow at the moment.

Another Day has been entered.

Days comment:

XBT Gain according to Cryptsy may need to be worked on as it gives a higher value then CAT log, but this may be due to the fact I am now holding more ALT coins then before.

Thanks for doing this. I'm waiting for a response from Sampey to purchase a copy of CAT.
I appreciate the review.

My advice is to run it 24/7 if you can. Also I feel you when CAT stops -due to powerloss, etc-, I've been many times through this having to check every coin's log for last traded price and restart CAT from where it was before the stop, but perhaps Sampey can add later a feature for this .

I'm assuming your goal is to have it trading with a full amount each day, but not sure it's feasible if 'Coin A' declines overnight and you have a bunch bought at a high price, for example.
When buying a coin at high price this is true, however there is a parameter in CAT to sell all if price goes below x.xxx amount, this may incur a small loss.

Which brings me to - if you cancel the Buy/Sell algorithm and the PONG trade, you don't lose anything, it just means you acquired coin at that price(?)
This is correct.

Now you can use it again to trade if you take a small loss and start doing Sell/Buy on a downswing(?) I've been leaving my orders up to complete, but then I have less to trade with. So I end up "feeding" CAT a little coin each day to keep it going, but trading with less.
What i have found so far is the best way to run CAT is 24/7, constantly stopping and restarting the program means it then has to redo all the orders and you wont know what you price you paid unless you check transaction history and that can take some time.

I still don't know if it should run 7 days straight or in 24hr periods.

What will you do with left-over orders (that haven't PONGed) each day - cancel them or ...?

I'm really glad you're doing this, I probably need a little help with my CAT.

Im not sure about the left over coins im still deciding to either keep them for the next run or sell them and start with just XBT.
