Gun, calm down buddy you are going to give you are self an aneurysm, lol. Your, bot is still the best bot available for sale here, just trying to offer constructive criticism.
First you never said 15 minute was ever the only profitable with the 2EMA, at least not to me. You mentioned the only candles it supports are the ones on poloniex, 5 15 etc. Backtesting on tradingview I can show 2EMA works with 5 and 1 Min candles even(if were available to gunbot) with the right settings and pairs, but most pairs do perform better with 15 yes. My point with having you use the 5Min chart on tradingview strategy i put together, is how far back it goes on the 5 min chart for backtesting, but by all means use the 15Min chart you are going to end up with same situation of sitting for weeks. In fact using the 15 min chart looking at the trade history on backtesting shows it would of been stuck waiting on XMR to recover from October 2 till December 27th. That is a ton of missed trade opportunities.
How long should you wait out this swing? Like I said in an earlier thread I have been testing this against a bot I wrote with autoview that is actually capable of taking small losses and moving on. Comparing the two accounts is a stark difference. My bot in autoview had long dug out of this latest swing while gunbot still has pairs hodl'ing.
Hodl, is ok if you are fine tying up that portion of your portfolio till it finds its way out, but if you can enter dozen or hundreds of trades even where you would of been hodl'ing for say a mere 1% gain or similar it seems like the smarter move is to sell so as to continue trading.
Got to admit still a steep learning curve for me even trying to follow on from all the posts in this thread but I can (prematurely) summarise that Gunbot:
1. Has great support and response. Probably the best thing about it.
2. Is built for rapidfire trading, but still not the fire and forget bot I require. Manual intervention needed if want to release funds for more trades.
3. may not be suitable for wildly trading alts.
Still watching!
