Topic: Haasonline Simple Trade Bot For BTCe and Bitstamp[Main topic] - page 42. (Read 416703 times)

With the new version i still have problems with bitstamp. The bot executes the orders and eventually tells me they were filled and changes the coin position but my wallet amount doesn't change at all. When i log in to Bitstamp i see that no order was received at all. At least the message that my trade amount exceeds my wallet amount is gone.

I have also got some problems with the backtesting function. It seems to give me completely random results. I let the backtest run, clear my statistics, switch back the coin position to its original state, change no settings at all, let the backtest run again and get completely different results. The results range from nice profits to huge losses so i really can't trust any of these results at the moment.

Another problem is with the auto setup of indicators: For some indicators this works, for example MACD. I add the last x prices and press auto setup, the graph and the tuning of the indicator changes. For others, e.g. Aroon the graph does change once i press auto setup but the indicator settings won't so i can't really comprehend what the auto setup actually did.

Have you tried 0.9.9.3?

Thanks Stephan, haven't had a parsing error since updating to 0.9.9.2.

@Stephan
I just wanna say Overcome fee insurance NOT working in 0.9.9.2

0992 is a big improvement for me, much less memory usage so i can do a lot of backtesting/tuning thanks for this!

just updated to 0993, and 1 configured bot is missing now  (2014-29-03 10:24:57.398   |ERROR|   There is an error in XML document (79, 38).)

from last 12 hours i have the following issues:

on CEX.io i started with only btc available in my wallet with only HTS trading:
I had 4 bots running  (all the available btc pairs)with a static amount. for nmc i now have 3x trade NMC amount in wallet, for ghs i have 2x trade amount in wallet. and had to cancel 5x buy order ( 5x trade amount) and 2x sell order (2x trade amount) that went out of control. (I did not used the new timeout insurance) Something is seriously wrong here 
(already experience same behaviour on cryptsy a while ago with HTS) 

on cryptsy i had fee overcome active with a small loss (this is fixed with 0993?)

deactivating bots until 0994...

@silverston:
If you really want to see the insurances at work (test them) then the best thing that you could do is setup a trade-bot with the new BlindIndicator and the Insurance that you can to test. This will show exactly how they will behave in real usage.

@all:
I have detected a minor issue with updating the fee percentages. Therefore new version has been released. Chances are small this issue will show itself, but still i recommend to get this update.

 
Indicators

Aroon Indicator (Aroon-up back 25, Aroon-down back 25) (BTCe LtcBtc 2min)   
MACD-Histogram Indicator (Trend type: EMA, Short 12, Long 26, Signal 12 MA Cross-over) (BTCe LtcBtc 10min)

If I use price percentage change -insurance and configure at 2% +and- . for example I buy at 0.028. Insurance not allow sell lower than 0.02856 and if price reach this level, bot sell. and conversely, insurance not allow buy higher than 0.028 if price goes down. is it correct?

@silverston:
If you connect to the exchange then its much more likely fee percentages will come out properly. 

Making very, very tiny losses if you trade pure on the fee costs is not unknown. They can happen because of 2 reasons. First because of the used market prices on trading itself and secondly due rounding problems. The last one is the most known cause.

You can avoid this from happening, just by using the price percentage change -insurance and configure this at 0.21% for example.

But in general, with these numbers you have posted, i really would advice you to add 1 or 2 trade indicators.

@Stephan
How can you explane this:


Insurance Overcome fee enabled!!!!


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

I dont think it was firewall problem. I make clean install and  clean licensing. After than all is good  

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

edit



and again sell lower buy higher?
I dont like this

My guess is that your firewall setting has been reset. That was the cause of your problem, its a configuration issue of some kind inside the firewall.

Good to read its solved this way. 

@Stephan
What about my problem
Still nothing...

edit.

strange, but this version working.

We can not go back more then 2 days... yet. At the next update we will add support for 2 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks and 4 weeks of backtesting/auto-tuning.

Thanks, that worked. Any way to backtest further back than 2 days?

Did you copy the test version over the existing version? If so then i can recommend to download the software again at the "My Account" page. Once you have it i can recommend to overwrite everything again. If you do so then you do not have to setup the APIs again and the trade-bots will be saved too.

Hi Stephan,

When I restarted the server it did not prompt for an update. I think because I have the 0992 beta it thinks it's the latest? Or does it update automatically?

The HaasBot has been updated to version 0.9.9.2

Please restart your trade-server to get the update notification and agree to it if you want to update.

The main target was to bring 100% stability to the APIs for all users now. And beside this some minor new things are added.

This is the summary of the changes implemented into this update.
- Exchange disabled: BTCChina has been temporary disabled until approval (finally!) arrives
- Alt-coin added: Ctm, Kdc, Lyc, Pot, Zeit (and more)
- Alt-pairs added: (to many to list)
- New: Balloon messages about the orders and there state (it is enabled by default but it can be switched off inside the server settings)
- New: Inside the Classic interface there is a new status-row visible showing the orders as they are send and progressed. (the web interface will follow later)
- Trade Indicator added: BlindSignal (watches the coin position and just send out a trade signal. To be used by advanced strategies only!)
- Insurance added: CancelOrderAfterXmin (can cancel a order faster then 10minutes, 1 minute is the lowest)
- Changed: Several API changes have been made to solve the remaining connection and/or trade problems.
- Changed: Several kernel changes have been made to solve memory usage problems. (not everyting is fully solved here, sorry)
- Changed: The time-out for a open order has changed from 2 minutes to 10 minutes (use the new insurance to reduce this time-out)
- Changed: The weight of the prices read was calculated on a EMA, but this is back to SMA. (very minor impact, just a very, very slight change on the moving averages)
- Bugfix: Usage of the comma decimal in the Classic Windows Interface is fixed
- Bugfix: Small improvement to update fee of a trade-bot. (in case it fails for some reason)

We hope this update will solve all issues reported the past time and we also hope nobody is having anymore problems with the APIs. If you still encounter a problem, please contact us and we will try to solve it directly with a more recent build.

In case this update solves indeed all problems then we will get back to feature development. I can already disclose i have a appointment with the university near my home to work out some new trade indicators.

One last thing.... be aware of how you use the new BlindSignal indicator. If you do not see what you can do with it then i recommend to leave this indicator alone.

Thanks. Also, can we please please change the tradebot overview screen on the web interface back to what it was before? It's completely incomprehensible now. It takes 10x as long to check over the status of your bots.

I think you mean BTCChina 

Its trivial to use it, but way much harder is to force it to do what You want (But with new beta its flawless so far). And even harder is to forge good strategy.

As to BTCe - it seems that it won´t be necessary to trade there, if the news are right

EDIT - Eeeh sorry - I mean BTCChina ofcourse

Easy to use is a relative thing. Some users find it hard to operate and some find it easy, i can not give a real image of it. But what i can tell is that you need to configure the API and you need to configure a trade-bot itself. To get a impression how this i done you can have a look at these links:

https://www.haasbot.com/drop-loss-strategies/
https://www.haasbot.com/basic-strategies/
https://www.haasbot.com/basic-rsi-strategies/

This is all very basic, but it gives a good impression how it works. Its also a good guideline for some basic setups.

Edit:
Bitstamp, BTC-e, Cex.IO, Cryptsy and BTCChina* are supported.

* ) BTCChina does not work, we are waiting for approval to trade on LTC too. I have been told its madness over there and that is why this takes so long. But i keep the pressure on it.
