Is there PRIMECOIN Support in the bot?

This is is great news. Thank You!

My bot is also just sending buy/sell signals constantly, without ever buying or selling. (Started with this new update)

And is the tradebot signals tab suppose to be disabled?

@photon:
I will have a look if i can make a CSV export for you.

@timondv:
I am still looking into this issue, but i do not expect you have the same issue as AtlasONo because i see a nouche -error. But i get back to this.

@maco:
The price is based on the potential of the software. You can say it is expensive right now but in fact it is not. The reason is because the abilities to earn remain the same. This not not related to how much the coins are worth, it is related to percentages. So thats why i keep the price locked at 0.6BTC.

------------------

I am making the charts of the benchmark also visible at the main form. This way you do not have to press benchmark to see the results of the indicators results, the graphs will be 100% sure in sync and the adjustments made during usage are also visible in the carts.

The raise and drop will be locked in the next release. I will set the minimum fee threshold and that is it, this way i can make sure the end-user make profit and the end-user do not have to worry about those raise and drop values anymore. I will make sure the safety can be bypassed for advanced users and i will make sure there will be 1 or 2 new indicators that will trigger of drop/raise amounts. (price and percentage based)

With these modification i hope to solve all unclear results produced by the software and i hope to increase usability.

The expected release is somewhere next week, of course i will make sure all the other reported issues are solved too.

BTW i will increase the decimals from 5 to 8 to add better support for cryptsy too. We are missing some decimals right now. More details about the coming changes are posted at the Change log on my website.

does the bot trade Primecoin XPM?

Also, 0.6/BTC seems overpriced for the current exchange values of Bitcoin (say I go by bitstamp 1.0 BTC = $206-210 USD/BTC)... Is there a newer price point?

Hi Stephan! First of all, thanks for your work)

Found a problem in version 0.9.0.1 Beta (in previous versions this problem does not exist). The problem occurs continuously after a few hours. After several transactions, trading stops. In the log we can see the signals to buy/sell (picture 2), but all the time there is an error (picture 3, error appears for a few seconds and disappears from the log).  Also, if you uncheck and check "al-in", trade amount does not change, even if you specify any amount, and the same error appears in log  (catch her to make a print screen in this way). Helps only bot’s restart.
After restart, pressing  “all-in” shows correct trade amount and no errors in log, but after few tradings….same story.

The problem started in the first day after the transition to the new beta version. At first I thought it was a temporary problem with the API at the BTCe...

P.S. Tried to delete and create new API key on the BTC-e exchange, but the error still appears

P.P.S. I think, user AtlasONo (page 19) have the same problem.

Stefan,

For some reason, the "Copy to Clipboard" does not do anything for me. The contents of my clipboard do not change. Selecting the data and Ctrl-C doesn't work, either. In any case, it would be awesome if you could add an "Export CSV" or something there.

However, if I can get the "Copy to Clipboard" working, that should be fine, too. If anyone has had an issue with this copy to clipboard issue and resolved it, let us know what you did.

Thanks!

I can confirm this, i have been talking to nowywbitcoinowymswiecie about this problem. But luckely it is just a graphical problem, trading itself is not impacted. I am able to reproduce it here and i am working on a solution for the next update. But again, it is just graphical, the logic and trading will continue as expected.


There is no direct output of the log, but you could use the "Copy" button on the bottom. It will copy the listview of the trades to the clipboard. There is no summary availible for the real-time trading. The reason why there is no summary is because you can change the settings during runtime, this will make the summary go wrong because the start and stop data will be invalid. At benchmarking this problem does not exists.


It is diffecold sometime to get a grip what is happening exactly, so i am not supriced to see people misunderstanding this. But San1ty is right, the difference you see is related to the dynamics. Once you start the bot it will begin working. After a while the settings/parameters of the bot are changed. When you start the benchmark after this you will also see a difference. The only way to benchmark/review the logic is to restore the trade bot to its start settings and then run the benchmark. Only this will give you exactly the same results.


To solve your problem initially i have made the benchmark tool, i was planning to add the import of historical data too from the internet. But i was unable to finish it in time for the v0.9 release. After the release i started working on solving bug/issues and ever sinds this part has stopt on development. However, i am still planning on adding this. I want to join into the challenges of the trade bots, and this feature will allow me to do this. So believe me when i say it is coming, because i want to show what is possible with my software.

I am still evaluating the update/crash issue but need to ask for one feature (important in my opinion):

Please add a function to import historical currency data.
It shouldn be any legal problem as this are publicly available.

For users like me which dont run STB for 24h/day it would be much help. (I am not arguing - I know that trading robot should run 24/7 but in given circumstances lack of historical data is PITA).

It is possible - I found BTC trading bot for Chrome browser which initialize itself and download historical data from MtGox.

You practically answered your own question. Because the benchmark doesn't starts with a buy, the entire dynamic is changed. There is a bug with the benchmark mode.

I think Stephan understood. :-)

Is there a Summary report of actual trades, similar to the Summary tab in the Benchmark window? This would be very helpful to see.

Stephan I think you misunderstood my post. The benchmark tool shows several trades but the active bot (pictured on the left in my previous post) only made 2 transactions in the same time period on the same settings.

For instance it bought at interval 2411 at 193.21 and then didn't sell it even 8 hours later after the price had gone well above the target price twice, the benchmark indicates atleast 2 instances that would meet the requirements to sell.

Ive reported the same situation (PM to Stephan224). What I can advise - uninstall STB and install again. In my case it helped - I am checking it for whole day and its ok now.

I also encountered the update issue. I had the next situation happen to me just now:

- Had Bot 1 active trading BTC/USD for several hours. Bot 2 was simply capturing BTC/USD data with a different update timer (doing some benchmarks there).

- Changed Bot 2 to LTC/USD since I saw some interesting movements. The graph did not update, it still displayed BTC/USD with the previous data. Changed timers and nothing changed aswell. Bot 1 was not touched at all during all this period. Some time later (don't know exactly, but more than 20sec. I'd make a wild guess at 1-3min) I find BOTH bots' data reset, which was quite annoying. Bot 2 started displaying the proper graph obviously, but at the cost of resetting Bot 1 when it shouldn't have had. I didn't do the Settings trick to refresh when I changed bot 2 precisely because I didn't want to lose data on Bot 1, so it happened by itself. Hopefully you can reproduce it with this explanation.

Lol, no it did not fail to place several orders. This looks perfectly normal to me. In the beginning of the chart i see that at interval 608 your coins have been sold. After this interval the currency continued to raise and therefore no more coins where bought. This is logical because the buy price (=last sell price - minimum drop) was never found again until interval 2380. So trading had stopped in the time between.

This learns you that the indicator you have be using gives a selling signal to soon. After all the currency was still raising.

Looking at your indicator (which i can not see, but i can see the speed of response) you indicators is responding to fast too. The profit you make it to low, it can be better. (i have looked at the buy and sell prices)

This is one of the reasons my is made this benchmaking form. Now you can Save this currency data, go back to the trade bot, adjust your indicators and start the benchmark again. Doing this will guide you to a better combination or configuration of the assigned indicator. And next time hopefully your logic will result in more trades and more profit.

-------------

I will have a look why the benchmark started to buy first, that does not seem to be right.

-------------

Something else, the difference you see now between the benchmark and the real-time information is caused by: coin position and the last by/sell values. If you restore those to the setting you started with on the real-time situation you will get the same results.

Ok now am I missing something or did it fail to place several orders again? It's been running the same settings through out the time period that's graphed.

Also since the Coin position is at bought the benchmark shouldn't be buying as its first move it should be selling.

Dear Stephan224 -  Ive send You PM concerning the issue. Looks more serious than initially though.

The Bitstamp API implemented into the Simple Trade Bot works according to the new API rules of Bitstamp. This has been checked and verified by Bitstamp itself, so there can be no discussion it does not work. If it does not work there can be 2 things; or the connection settings are invalid or the Bitstamp API is down. Nothing else can be wrong because logic i wrote can not change itself.

The last thing is what i see happening the past few days, the API of Bistamp does not always seem to work right now. And i suspect this is related to there API move tomorrow the 31st.


The same story applies to Cryptsy, the API you and i have has been checked and verified. It simply works. This can be verified by trading with the "Direct exchange" option. Every message you get back there comes directly from the API. If that message tells you, you have an open order. Well there should be an open order, because the API does not tell this for nothing.


Keep me posted about this. If needed i will have a look, but i was not able to reproduce it here yet.

I also seem to be having issues with Simple Bot apparently not being able to place an actual Sell order at Cryptsy.  It keeps giving me the following error message in the Debug Tab "No trade (9): Can not trade due open order at the exchange"   the thing is, I don't have any open orders on my Cryptsy account.  Any suggestions Stephan?

I'm having issue(s) connecting to the BitStamp API once again :/
