Great, this will be really helpful. How are you calculating this ?
Either Coin Amount x Best Buy Price, or (correctly) Coin Amount sold to fulfil existing buy orders at that moment ?

Yes, Real Portfolio Value is a simulation of what happen if you sell all your coins in a precise moment.
And yes, i start filling all buy orders using your quantity.

Quote from: andycee on March 17, 2014, 06:44:24 AM

As being currently discussed, there are major issues with trading markets with only 1 satoshi buy/sell spread such as DOGE/BTC. In Normal trading mode, C.A.T. sometimes re-calculates the sell price to be the same as the buy price (or vice-versa) resulting in a loss of fees. In Static mode, trades also can recalculate the 'fixed' price (as posted) above, again resulting in same buy/sell price gain losses. I understand you are fixing these issues.

This 2 problems will be fixed in the next version. Wink

Some very active markets (such as LTC/BTC) have continuously moving prices, but with very small spreads of less than your minimum gain. The problem here is that it might take forever for C.A.T. to place a new Ping order, as the minimum gain never gets past your threshold. During this time, the market can have moved quite a bit, and we have missed out on some good possible trades. Of course you could set the min. gain to a lower level just to get the Ping trade placed, but you will also then get a lower Pong trade price set, resulting in lower gains. Is it worth adding a 'Ignore %min gain when placing PING order' option ? This probably only affects a couple of markets.

For example...here is C.A.T. not being able to place a new LTC/BTC PING Buy order for nearly an hour due to constantly low spreads under my min. gain of 0.6%.

yes this could be a good feature. "Always Place Ping" was one of the feature i have in mind (but it's not easy like Always Place Pong, because i want to avoid the risk to get a "bad" value during Ping Creation, and create a bad order, so this feature could have more than 1 check before commit).
Any suggestion?

Quote from: andycee on March 17, 2014, 06:44:24 AM

Why do the volume amounts in the Markets page bear little or no resembalance to trade volumes in Cryptsy ? How are these two amounts calculated ?

Is the (Total Amount in Currency / BTC Value of that Coins) (BTC Value is the last trade value)

Quote from: andycee on March 17, 2014, 06:44:24 AM

Is Always Create Pong Orders From Trade saved/set just by changing it, or by Update Ping Pong Parameter ?

When you change a Ping Pong PArameter during a running, you must always press the UPDATE Button (and verify in the Market Log that parameters are correct).

Quote from: andycee on March 17, 2014, 06:44:24 AM

Everyone needs to be using stop limits to maximise their profits, preventing 'stuck' trades on the outer limits of the trading price range. I use the Stop Ping Creation algo options, but I think these should be improved as they currently do not differentiate between PING Buys & Sells.

For example, if a market gets too high for your trading price range, you only want to stop PING buying new coins at this high price - as you will then have to PONG sell even higher to make profit. BUT, if you have a coin balance available for PING sell orders, you are more than happy to sell at a high price, as you then expect the market to fall and you will then PONG Buy to make a profit.
So, I really think these two options should be :
- Stop Ping BUY Creation if Sell Value >
- Stop Ping SELL Creation if Buy Value <

Currently, a too low or too high price stops ALL Ping creations, both Ping Buys & Ping Sells...which stops you from trading on the other high / low side of the markets price range.[/li]
[li] Oh, and I forget to ask again...Please could we have some kind of indication that a markets trades are being limited by min/max stop limits ? If we could use a different colour for the market tab text, that would be great. Currently you have to go into each log to check if stop limits are in effect.[/li]
[/list]

This is another good idea i will try to add in the next release.

thanks for suggestion Wink

You successfully identify a channel in a market, set the static trading to take advantage of this, let it run overnight and then looking at the results all hopes of gains are wiped away : 6 initially winning trades turned each into a loss of 0.5% transaction fee ! Tried the suggestion and the next set of losses occured ...

So what do You expect, yes it was offending but I got upset along the conversion because I thought I made things clear in a fair way and You seemed to play things down not being important...
I even gave You the information You wanted but maybe to hidden ...

maybe one should set the pct to a greater value than the diff of buy and sell but I am done with this now - it's simply annoying

I have fix this problem in the next version, but why do you say that doesn't work??? What message did you get?

I got no message, only the same behaviour as shown above

Every pong trade was adjusted to the entry price and therefore closed with a loss of the transaction fee

Maybe my bar is set too high after being >20 years in the business of it/software development but what I know is that the only truth lies within the source code of a program. So it is (should be) always possible to predict the outcome of operations. So I didn't initially treated (or wanted to) You like a fool but along the discussion it was tempting... So please try to understand the users view and that they want to help You - as You as the developer with the source are the only one who can change and evaluate things.

So let's move on an keep improving CAT

Hi CAT Users.

Real portfolio is the real BTC Value that you will get in that moment if you sell all your altcoins.

Great, this will be really helpful. How are you calculating this ?
Either Coin Amount x Best Buy Price, or (correctly) Coin Amount sold to fulfil existing buy orders at that moment ?

Just to say the new version is nice and stable

but I have a few other random points & questions....

In Normal trading mode, C.A.T. sometimes re-calculates the sell price to be the same as the buy price (or vice-versa) resulting in a loss of fees.

Of course you could set the min. gain to a lower level just to get the Ping trade placed, but you will also then get a lower Pong trade price set, resulting in lower gains. Is it worth adding a 'Ignore %min gain when placing PING order' option ? This probably only affects a couple of markets.

For example...here is C.A.T. not being able to place a new LTC/BTC PING Buy order for nearly an hour due to constantly low spreads under my min. gain of 0.6%.

- You suggest a workaround
- I try it, it does not work

I Ask you for a log to understand why the problem on static algo continue (after you use my suggestion)

If you set Sell (Static) @ X, Buy (Static) @ Y and % GAIN < % Diff between X and Y and algo doesn't work i need to read a log.

If you want to use now the static algo i can send you the version with the fix.

Quote

it might work - not very encouraging if the developer does not know or can evaluate his own program

This kind of sentences can offend. Do not you think?
I have worked (and i work) very hard on this project and i always try to do my best.
This is a very complex program, and if there are some errors (in some particular case) i think users should understand instead of treating me like a fool.

As i said, i have fix the problem, so in next version you must not use the solution i suggest you because static mode will works without recalculation and %check. But actually, that solution (a simple solution) works.
So, what's the problem? Huh

last words from me :

Fix in the next verion - all fine

But

- i pointed You to the the strange behaviour of static mode, sent You logs so You could easily figure out what is happening
- You say static mode does buy and sell at the given prices
- I say it does not, like to see from the logs
- You say it does check % set and recalculates
- I say it should buy and sell at static prices nothing other
- You agree and will fix this in a new version
- You suggest a workaround
- I try it, it does not work
- You don't believe me saying the workaround does not work
- I gave up

So what could have been done especially because this software was paid for

- verifiy the programs behaviour and fix it
- inform the customer that the current version does not work as someone would expect

This is not a minor problem, it losses reproducable coins without any chance to avoid it by the user !

Maybe no one uses static mode so You were lucky. So don't blame me for pointing out an error in CAT which affects all users.

I did not want support, I tried to wrote in an nice way that CAT has a problem with the static mode.

Of course it is clear now that You don't see it that way but I look at the program from a users view not as a developer - my understanding is that this program should be a trading software and I think all people having something to do with exchanges would think a static buy sell order system should buy at the buy price an sell at the sell price - nothing more or less.

If you set "static mode" and X Buy Price, Y Sell Price, and a Min % GAIN < than % Diff between X Buy Price and Y Sell Price it might work.
If not i need market log, i have no other way to understand...

it might work - not very encouraging if the developer does not know or can evaluate his own program

Mageplace, you got a problem, i gave you support, i gave you the solution (if i used the word "might" it doesn't mean i don't know how the program works, but there are thousands of code lines in the order calculator class), and write the fix for the next version. All in less than 24 hours.

I don't like your approach and the way you talking to me, ok?

Next time, use appropriate words if you want support. Thanks

not very usable ?!

static is static is static
