Hey guys, I have a question.
So I'm using this bot I wrote and I thought I'd follow suggestion from the last weekly report to "sell below 4.50". And set it to sell some coins (luckily not many) when price would go below 4.48. It followed my orders and sold around 4.475 when the price spiked down a bit more than a day ago.
Well, this didn't work out well (at least so far).
Question: how should I program the bot? I could, for example make it wait for a certain amount of time or a certain amount of volume traded with the price meeting the condition? That might've avoided the wrong sell signal in this case. On the other hand, if the price just crashes through the treshold, waiting would not be a good option and I'd probably have to use a price range or minimum price to sell at to avoid selling too low.
Any ideas?
I would suggest NOT using a bot as a panic seller/stop-loss unless written to include other indicators. Seems to me, the only way for it to work well as a stop-loss bot would be if the price blows through, and keeps going, and that just doesn't happen very often anymore. There would almost always be a retrace to catch a better price.
Set the bot to notify you when approaching your target liquidation price maybe. Then
you determine what action to take.
