This is from a mixture of my own notes Gunthar's release notes on how STEPGAIN works. I read a lot about Gunbot in detail before going live with it.
As I said anyone who uses my referal code "Macca" to buy off Gunthar will get help in setup plus I will send you a lot of info like this to make you understand how it works in detail, because it took many of us a while to figure out how to work it out.
>>STEPGAIN
Buys at X percent below EMA. Sells at X percent above purchase price.
Older versions had 2 steps, and let you define which step to sell at. Setting Step 1 probably
worked just like GAIN did. Setting to Step 2, 3 makes it wait until it hits higher percentages, if it
can’t it reverts to a lower percentage level. This seems to be where the Trend Watcher is used...
It gathers data... and if the coin's value is growing, it waits ...
and depending on how fast it's growing, it selects the best zone.
>>Pure STEPGAIN: BUY_STRATEGY: 'STEPGAIN' and SELL_STRATEGY: 'STEPGAIN' in your config files, will give you the power to explore up and down until the bot finds the best price to buy and the highest price to sell (supergun trend watchdog applies with improved algo). All of this on all 3 markets: Bittrex, Kraken, Poloniex. We have now 2 levels of BUY and 2 levels of SELL only in config files, since the third has not been really useful. Set BUYLVL and SELLLVL to the right level you want to use. Example: if you have BUYLVL1 to 3 and BUYLVL2 to 5, set BUYLVL to 2 if you want to explore from to 5%to infinite, or set BUYLVL to 1 if you want to explore from 3% to infinite
Can someone share with me how Step Gain Works, preferably on the selling side...?
Right now i have BB buy/ Stepgain Sell
Sell Stepgain are 0.6/2/10
Also i think the Upper BB is broken or bugged on v3.3, no matter what you change the Upper BB to, the selling BB target does not adjust at all, its locked to the upper BB all the time as target BB Sell Price
