Hey Pablo,
glad to hear that butter-cream is coming along Smiley
question: what's the current version of Butterbot? I'm not quite sure if I'm still running the LTC beta or a release build.
(maybe you would like to add the version number to your signature?^^)
Are you going to develop Butterbot any further even after the release of Buttercream?

Hi Grinny Smiley,
  We are currently up to 3.0.2 Smiley.

About Butter-Bot, no plans to stop development, it all really depends on community feedback, we would like to migrate as many people to Butter-Cream as possible since it is just so much more complete.

Please let me know if you have any follow up questions Smiley.

Pablo.

My subscription to Butter-Bot doesn't expire until October 2014. Unless you implement some sort of program where I can redeem my unused Butter-Bot licence time for Butter-Cream license credit, I won't be migrating until I've used up what I've already paid for. It would be nice to see migration incentivized by some sort of a program for people in my position.

EDIT:
Say for example if you were to offer half Butter-Cream time for Butter-Bot time remaining on traded in licenses.

**************
Update
**************

Just want to update everyone and let you all know that Butter-Cream is currently operational in it's core features. We are implementing back testing and other tools but it all looks good on our front. I personally hope we can release closed Beta in 4-6 weeks.

I think that there is a bug in this platform...

When the Short EMA and Long EMA do cross, the difference should be either a positive number or a negative number. If it is positive, then you should only buy, and if it is negative, you should only sell.

Currently, it is only looking at the threshold, which is nice, but if it starts in the wrong cross, it will always buy & sell in a loss. I should be able to specify to buy/sell based on which EMA is positive and which is negative.



Hey Smiley,
  The threshold refers to the difference between EMA lines after they have crossed and sells are only triggered when the difference is negative and buys are only triggered when the difference is positive; the fact that both thresholds are expressed as positive values is a cosmetic choice to make things easier for beginner traders.

Still, I appreciate the suggestion and will look into making this more transparent on the next gen system Smiley.

Pablo.

Thank you for your reply... but bot goes in to a loss if I had my ema(1, 30) and profit if i swap them to ema(30,1) with 30 minutes frequency and buy % at (0,5) and sell % at (0,5)

Hey Smiley,
  Please feel free to drop me an email and we can discuss your specific situation with the strategy team; you make an interesting point Smiley.

I setup the bot and have a trial license key.  The bot seems to be working and I even got an email that a sell order triggered, but when I look on BTC-e I don't see any trade for LTC.

Is there a log somewhere that I can check to see why the sell order was never executed?

Also, when is butter-cream coming out?  I would like to be able to enable and disable my bot from either work or home, but if it has to run in chrome as an extension I am assuming running it in both locations would cause it to actually trade in both locations?  Is that correct?  I really only want one bot running, not two.  I just want to be able to play with the settings from either location.

And one last question.  Is there any planned support for other coins or exchanges like Cryptsty and the multitude of other altcoins they offer?

Hi Zheron Smiley,
  The issue in BTC-E may have to do with the setup of trading ratio of BTC and LTC in your settings, drop me an email and I will be happy to help you one on one. I would suggest checking to see if you had a trade in that time period in either BTC and LTC even if you are only trading LTC or vice-versa. It's a common error and an easy fix Smiley.

Butter-Cream is in alpha testing and coming along rather quickly, I would say 6-8 weeks for an open Beta, if not earlier. The main thing is that Butter-Cream will be more expensive than Butter-Bot, in line with it's new features and capabilities; but current Butter-Bot subscribers will get an exclusive deal on the upgrade.

You can easily un bots with different settings from one or multiple computers, but running a single bot from multiple locations can be tricky; this is one of the core reasons Butter-Cream will be a hosted solution. You can get around this cheaply and easily by running your Butter-Bot on a Raspberry Pi or VPS for a few dollars a month for the time being.

Yes, Cryptsy is pretty much the most requested addition we have and we will look into streamlining this and other new exchange adoptions as soon as we have a little free development time.

I hope that helps, please let me know if you need anything at all Smiley.

Pablo.

Hi Pablo... I'm also new to BB and I'm having exactly the same issue. Q: What is the minimum amount in USD I can trade in (does it have to be $100 USD or above)? Secondly do I need to change any of the fields in the BTC-E settings (I'm trading LTC)? Got my Short on 3 my Long on 9 and Buy1/Sell1 on 0, Buy2/Sell2 on 5 with a frequency of an hour with a 1 minute offset.  I'm also getting the "Brain Error" Please advise...  Wink

Hey Smiley,
  We released a second update for the "Brain Error" and this should completely resolve it. If you reset your bot you should no longer see the issue. I am sorry about that inconvenience but it is now resolved Smiley.

You can trade with as little as 35 USD, there is a limitation placed on how little you can trade with placed by the exchange API's, too little currency and the API will not execute a trade signal. Keep in mind that the less funds you use, the less visible your profit/loss will be.

About modding the LTC settings, you need to change your BTC/LTC ratio to 100% for LTC if you are trading LTC only, and 0% for BTC Smiley.

I hope that helps, please let me know how I can continue to be of service Smiley.

I guess as an Idea... you can add an option "Only Sell if Profitable"

It would be an interesting option to have...

Hey Smiley,
   We've had this discussion ad nauseam on the thread; that's a very bad option to have, it assumes that the price will ALWAYS rise, even if this is true in the very long term in the short and mid term you are liable to loose your shirt on a crash.

Feel free to email me if you need more details on this, always happy to help :=).

My bot just vanished from Chrome.  How do I get it back?  It's not disabled or anything, it's like it just decided to uninstall itself.

Hmmm, that's strange. I think my first suggestion would be to reinstall. Perhaps its a problem with Chrome synch settings to another device.

Can you please email me? I will be happy to help you on a one to one basis Smiley.

Pablo.

Hi Ben Smiley,
  Just go to Butter-Bot.com and download a trial license, you'll be all set; unfortunately I can not create them manually.

Since LTC is so new we currently don't have a starter strategy but you should be able to get off the ground with the starter strategy for BTC in the welcome email; I would suggest you try that for a bit and then I will be happy to discuss strategy changes specific to your situation once you have some more experience with Butter Smiley.

Hello all!!

I am a newbie here and i realize I need a bot to do the things I want since i work all the time.  How do i sell high and buy low on butter-bot. Right now it seems its buying high and selling low. WHICH by the way is how to lose money and LTC. I am on btc-e and trading LTC. Settings is short 7 long 15 trade 1 hour buy and sell threshold 1 is 0% buy and sell threshold 2 is 0.01%. If i have it on recommended settings it rides the line no buying no selling.

Hey Nick Smiley,
  I suggest you go back to the "starter" settings for a couple of weeks (if you are on a demo you can download another demo key, you are not limited to one), and then you can drop me an email and I will happy to help you improve your settings based on your observations during those two weeks according to your own risk profile.

With the settings you currently have you are really trading on noise as you are set to trade on EVERY crossover which is not the best idea on a currency as volatile as Bitcoin.

Just drop me an email and I will be glad to help out.

Pablo.

are there any plans of integrating Ichimoku in v3? Would really love to see that!

I bet that would be one of the possible engine modules for V4. That indicator is way too complex to just "bolt in".

Hey Smiley,
  I'll be sure to bring this up with the dev team Smiley.

Pablo.


Here are impressive results statistics from the "Goomboo Journal" using that strategy:

Hey Smiley,
 Yep, it's already on the development board; we will make every effort to add it to the first version of Butter-Cream.

Smiley.

Pablo.

Great work...
