Apparently, you have to do a small manual transaction on BTC China before the API will work.
My problem is a bit more complicated. Trading works, some of the times.

Things I have done so far:

- BTC deposit
- BTC/CNY trade
- CNY/BTC trade
- Created API
- Waited 48h
- Created a second API
- Removed 2-way authentication (just for testing purposes)
- Double checked all my STB settings Smiley

When I enter my API credentials it gives me back the 401 error. But when I save them my wallet info is loaded properly. It refreshed the market data correctly, only buying and selling is rarely possible.

Drop loss just bit me on the ass again 0.5BTC.  Little blip up happened at the same time as drop loss calc and when it came down again.....executed a sell.

I hereby end my Simple Bot use.  Had enough.

:-)

It's not the bots fault you got your settings not properly set up. I got it on 450 sec., 95% and if has not failed me yet.

@Stephan; is there any update in relation to the BTCChina API-problems?

Just be careful and keep an eye on drop loss folks.  Depends on the market...I think some other bots might try exploit drop loss also.

Does anyone know if BTC-e is having issues crediting accounts?  Is this a common problem?
It's making me not want to trade on there now...

I've left 4 support tickets, and I get the auto-close message after a few days.

@stephan224 Any support staff you can lean on? Sad

The freezing is driving me crazy.  Don't think it happened in the version I had before 905 beta

@all

anyone willing to share their setups? for short / medium / long term bot trading? and their success?


post away!



After many experiments I haven't found a trading configuration good enough for me.
I think raise/drop safety is a good idea but not well implemented because depends of target price and they change in uncontroled way ( i don't know algorithm ). Probably is better to be able change any time minimum raise/drop values and colour them red when value is "risky"

So decided yesterday to use bot only for stop loss ( when asleep ) and do trading manually.
Not yet sure if works, expecting next big plunge to see...

Regards

How did you set the Drop-loss only? I am trying to set that up.

I put option "All in" , position "bought" and only indicator active is "high low" - programmed to sell above 1500 usd and buy below 200 ( OK, is very optimistic...)
Not tested yet in real life, but works at benchmarks

Anybody finding that the bot freezes every few seconds when it does its calculations?
Sometimes it freezes for a couple of seconds when pressing a button. It's random afaik.

Maybe a quick buy button to hop on those rapid up trends

Good suggestion, I like it!

It freezes while its performing a API call to exchanges


I disagree with a buy button, i don't want manual intervention, i sleep sometimes and cant watch the bot 24/7 :-)

It needs to adjust its buy/sell thresholds auto-majically in a preprogrammed way :-)

Watch the drop loss percentage folks....its caused me losses a few times in a quick moving market.  The settings suggested in the dialog are not ideal for all things  Shocked

I got it on 450sec, 95%. Has survived all dips so far, it was a close call two days ago though. Cheesy

ah one more thing

Is there anyway that the target buy/sell price is automatically updated? its greyed out for me and i cant see to figure out how to adjust it...

Im worried that the market will readjust high/low and the bot wont make trades for ages without manual intervention ..... anyone know?


The only option right now is ticking "Disable raise/drop safety" in advanced settings. The downside is the bot might decide to sell at a loss. In fact I haven't been able to find fully satisfying settings that make profit with that setting ticked, so be sure to benchmark it. Sometimes it wins a lot but it can also lose a fair amount.

And since we are speaking about it, I would like to suggest Stephan to turn that option into 2, separate ones, one for Buy and one for Sell. That would allow to ignore only one of the 2 safeties, in my case the one I want to ignore is the buy safety, and then the bot would always try to make profit. If the market reversed strongly, the stop-loss function could work in conjunction and prevent losses.

This would prevent having to find 'the perfect' settings with ignored safeties like right now, because honestly, I am quite not succeeding, and I tried a fair amount of combinations  Tongue

I agree with this

when the market trends upwards, its painful to see the bot not trading at all - this is because the market will never met the "target" buy/sell ... more options should be opened up and/or a viable way of you allowing to adjust the buy/sell targets automajically...

I've got an odd thing.

When I set some indicator and I let it go 'real' a lot of the times the 'buying allowed' or 'selling allowed' buttons are not green. I've run the trading bot for 24h straight and it made only 1 buy and 1 sell trade.

I hear you say, you have your indicators wrong (my first though too). But when I click "Benchmark Trade Bot" it simulates the past 24h with my current indicator settings and the benchmark makes 8 trades (resulting in a much higher profit I might add Wink).

Is this a known problem or is it something i'm doing wrong?

*edit* I guess it does have something to do with the last buy price. Still figuring everything out.

Bot is having problems getting balances from Cryptsy now.  Maybe they've altered the API???

obviously its the opposite when its a downtrend .. the bot should hold its position, and, if the market has re-established itself at a new point, there's a couple of options here

1) choose to sell up at the higher price, purchase at the lower price, and go from there (could be dangerous on multiple refactors / adjustments of the market - could loose alot of money here)

2) leave the coins purchased at the higher price, and repurchase MORE coins at the lower price, and make profits from there (interesting option, as itll wait until the market gets back to the original amount before making another purchase)

i prefer option 2... if the difference between the old and new market refactor is no more than 5% .... (if its above 5%, then i prefer option 1)

any opinions on this?

I am encountering issues with BTCChina.

After a long run STB stop to correctly set price position. IE I have BTC on account but it constantly change it to sold. Even after forcefull change it to bought. Then STB make some trade (like 0.0002 trade) and set position again to sold. Now Ive restarted STB again and for now its ok.

I am not sure its a STB fault. It seems like BTCChina API have some flaws too.
