Thanks for the help Pablo,
Now onto my next 'problem',
I think I have set-up everything correctly but still no check mark and a warning saying,

"The BTC-e API is currently having issues but we will keep trying. Butter Bot will recover automatically once the API is back up."

Its been happening since last night so is this a problem with the BTC-E site or is it something I setup wrong?

Mine are reading BTC-e fine @ the moment, so looks like it is a local problem on your end.

I remember someone saying something about confirming the email btc-e send you to activate the API key etc but I have never received one of those emails, I just cannot understand why it says API connected but BTC-E disconnected when I hover over the triangle where the check mark should be on the butter bot interface. Any help to get this up and running would be greatly appreciated.

You don't have to confirm APIs on BTCe via Email, you only have to do that for BitStamp. Make sure you have "Info" and "Trade" selected in the API screen on BTCe and you clicked "Save".

If you canot get it to connect, delete the keys and start over, paying close attention to each step so as to not make any mistakes.

Pablo,

Another thing I was thinking about when doing some backtesting:

Apart from the implementation of Bitcoin/EUR backtesting, would it also be possible to display the % profit in Bitcoin?
That way you can easily see how much better the bot is doing than a buy & hold.

@ Pablo

I think I might have found a strange inconsistency.

I was installing B-Bot on a ESXi server, on a virtual desktop to test out a few settings. I set B-Bot to standard settings (2 hours, 0.25 buy/sell 10/21 ema settings) and refreshed the popup.html page and I noticed that the desktop time sync was off by about 3 or 4 hours.

When I went to refresh B-Bots status page I noticed it was reading in sync with the wrong hour.

I corrected the clock on the virtual desktop and only then did B-Bot actually use the current stats up to the current hour.

I know this is a small issue but if someone has their clock off by a significant portion of time they might be trading with very old data. You might want to look into it and see if B-Bot is synchronized by the clock on the users computer rather than the api/feed servers it is getting data from.

As soon as I corrected the time, B-Bot started pulling several extra hours of data that weren't there before.

(By the way, are there any current Beta Tester spots available?)

Yeah I saw that bug too but I didn't see it reappear again for me to send some console logs from the bot.

You should contact Pablo with the logs:

Please email me ([email protected]) the info requested below so we can debug the issue you describe, unless it has been resolved Smiley :

1. Go into the "manage extensions" page.
2. Enable "developer" mode by checking the "developer" box in the upper tool bar.
3. Go to the extension and click on the "generated_background_page.html" link.
4. When the new window opens, choose the "console tab"
5. Copy and paste the info there to pastebin.com as close to the time of your issue as possible and send it to me.

And:

1. In the developer tools open the network tab.
2. If it's empty, press F5 to reload the extension and wait a few minutes until there are some requests listed.
3 Then right-click the list in the left pane and select
"Save as HAR with content".
Please scan the file and remove your API Key from the text and send it to us.
This will help us resolve your issue much more quickly.

Pablo.

Hi Pablo,

So I added the update (2.4) you sent via email and now I keep getting email notifications every 30 mins (set to 30min buy/sell trigger) that there has been a purchase despite the fact that there was already a purchase 3 hours ago and there no further funds to purchase anything new.

Is this a bug? My settings haven't changed. They are the same as they were before the update.

@ Pablo

Should both numbers (under the arrows) be expressed as a positive number in B-bot's settings?

0.6 buy threshold?

0.3 sell threshold?

@ Pablo

What about the issue where the emails for the buys weren't generated?

I am looking through the email and it only shows the sell notice but none for the buys it made.

Looks like there may be something to that, it looks like it's only the buy emails that aren't going out, not the sells for some reason. It's a non-critical issue but we will have that fixed ASAP.

Hey Guys

,
I've been following the conversation, couple of things:

1. For those of you having issues with Mt. Gox, this is a limited bug that triggers under specific circumstances; we will release an update to take care of this plus some other minor work ups tonight.

2: The graph issue is indeed an issue with BitcoinCharts.com: BitcoinCharts doesn't have the best API and it sometimes crashes in moments of high volatility, we will see about how to mitigate this.

This post below worries me a lot:

Does anyone have any great settings that work on 1 minute frequency? (and is willing to share?)

Use my referal code cause' im sooo cute! Grin

You'll get an extra month free, it's all on me!

OMG... wrong type of system for 1 minute settings. Do the tests... you will run out of money fast. Wink

Seriously never recommend anything under 60 minutes with EMA.

1 minute settings, backtested for 1 month.

Profit:77.47%Max. Profit:77.47%Min. Profit:-0.60%Trades:32

I have backtested it further up to 6 months but the backtesting server seems to be sporadic at the moment.

There was another setting that got up to 127% with trades going back much further. I can't figure out what the settings were exactly as I kept trying new ones.

Pablo.

@ Pablo

There is another late night bug report:

The bot appears to be making buy trades without sending emails. Even when the trigger does not appear to have been crossed. Looks like a serious issue.

(Sending a PM now plus all the detailed logs)

Ok,
I've reviewed the data, and I'm fairly confident the negative value is the issue, your Buys make sense as the value (+1) was triggered, it's the sells that are suspect and if you notice they happen on the "sell" crossover at every tick; that makes sense since the negative threshold value would mean any sell crossover would trigger the bot.

I think that we should keep an eye on it but I don't think it's a bug, I will be here for another hour at least to monitor the situation. Please drop me an email if the issue recurs.

Pablo.

Pablo.

Ok,
I just heard back from the Lead developer and we are sure that the issue was the negative values in the settings, using positive values (as normal) will resolve it.

You made me worried for a second there PuertoLibre

I sold some BTC for USD manually on MTGox, after that I bought butterbot, and have enabled it with the default settings

Trade Freq: 1 Hr
Short EMA - 10
Long EMA - 21
Tick Offset - 0 minutes
Buy Threshold 1 = 0
Buy Threshold 2 = .25
Sell Threshold 1 = 0
Sell Threshold 2 = .25
TSL - Empty Field

It has been running for an hour or so, but I just want to make sure everything is good on my end?

Thanks!

Edit: I only have USD in my MTGox account, is that okay?

Sorry for all the newb questions!

Hi Adeel

,
Looks like you're good to go

.

Please make sure you have the "Connectivity Check Mark" (picture below) on your main bot menu to make double sure everything is okay.

Pablo.

Yep, it says API Connected & MTGox Connected and has a check mark.

Now I just set it and forget it? lol

Yep

.

Be sure to drop me an email if you want to change your settings after playing with the back testing engine, I will be glad to help you

Hey,
We are looking into this right now; I'm not on the tech division but it looks to me like the issue is possibly the negative value on your sell threshold 2. You sell threshold 1 is 0, so that means that any almost any value will trigger is and your sell 2 is -1 so that means that effectively any value above -1 will trigger it. You have to keep in mind that even for sell values your threshold values are expressed as positives.

I'm getting everyone to look into this but I have had no other similar reports so it suggests to me it's something to do with the settings.

Could you please change your both your "2" values to positive numbers? I am trying to replicate the issue with those and it doesn't show up so far.

Pablo.

I changed the value to a positive.

Do the first two thresholds on buy and sell react the same way to a "0" as with a "blank"? (nothing filled in)

No, you have to have a value filled in, otherwise it will not work properly.

I'll be standing by for your feedback on the positive value change.

Pablo.
