Hi,

from the screenshot it looks like your strategy setup was set up to buy at a much lower price range.
See the blue horizontal arrow below the price of 148. The augmentation on top is the future setup, when you start and stop the strategy or the order gets replaced.
Hope thats helps!

I'd still like some clarification on this. My bot was in a buy state, not sell state, and the candlesticks very clearly went out of the buy range since the order was placed. So I'm still missing something. https://imgur.com/IfdVh8s

We like moonshot ideas! Keep em coming. It is just a matter of resources on our side.
Most of the ideas are already on our wishlist btw.   But we re open on hearing more!

Thanks for your support.

@Amaralluis , thanks for helping out. This is very much appreciated

But the bot is in a buy state. The buy window changed from 11 pm to 11 am, but it never replaced the old buy order with one at the new buy margin.

Look at the red light dotted line on the graph display. That is the sell margin that you set up on your strategy.


You have set your margin maker to go back 2.61 hours with a sell margin of 50%.
Because none of the candlesticks went above or below the sell margin window there is no need to replace the order because it would be for the same amount.

I think its more like that we can set up how many cycles we wish the bot to run with the current strategy.

I hope it's not bad etiquette to make these all separate posts, I thought it was better for readability since they are different topics.

What conditions will make the bot skip replacing orders? Is there some setting that might be preventing the bot from canceling the old order and placing another at the new price level?

Thanks

Is this referring to allowing the bot to buy again after the price has dropped, even if the sell from the previous trade cycle has not been completed? +1 for that!

Would also be nice if the bot could calculate the average buy price and sell when the price = average buy price + min. effective gain, instead of just keeping the sell order from cycle 1. I suppose people will have different preferences about this issue though.

Leonardo team, I really appreciate the time you spend supporting your users, it is a huge added value in making me happy with my purchase. I have a couple moonshot ideas that might be overly complicated to implement and confusing to new users, but I still wanted to see what you thought 

1. A bot that makes trades based on the depth chart, similar to the way mArgin maker uses the price chart. Currently, setting up mArgin maker with a short time window can approximate this strategy, but we would be able to get better trades if the bot could recognize buy walls and sell walls. So maybe the order book can just be used as an indicator, rather than engineering something totally new.

2. A way to disregard "outliers" when calculating the trading window.

For example, here we have an inordinately long wick causing mArgin maker to set the sell price higher than I would have expected when I originally set up the bot.

If we could ignore this single wick, the buy price would be right where I want it to be:

Of course, mArgin maker will adapt in a few hours when these wicks leave the time frame that the bot is using to analyze, but in that time we are exposed to additional risk. In the first screenshot, the price may drop and I could miss a sell. In the second screenshot, there may be missed trading opportunities, which is not as bad.

So how to define an outlier that should be excluded? Maybe a simple rule could be, "the top and bottom of the red area has to touch more than 1 candlestick feature." I would rather have this option than change the buy margin and sell margin, because I like those values most of the time, whereas this is more of an exception.

A more complicated way to look at it would be to recognize when part of the red area has only 1 candlestick feature:

Then the user can decide, if the crossed-out area is more than 10/20/30% of the red area, disregard the crossed-out area?

Cheers!

Thanks for the explanation...and no I won't blame it!

Thats one way to see it, but yes

Oh, hah. Sorry just learning about it. So ping pong = static ping pong, margin maker = dynamic ping pong?

mArgin maker is an adaptive ping pong, but it adapts based on price action only. It does not consider the buy/sell walls AFAIK. (I hope this is on the developer's wishlist though!) 

If you use a larger time window for mArgin maker, it will react more slowly to market changes. If you use a small time window, it will adapt the pings and pongs more quickly, but you run the risk of buying at the top of a pump and being left with a bag.

Setting a negative value in "min. effective gain" can allow the bot to trade at a loss and continue to make more trades, or you can go in and deal with the bag manually.

I highly recommend spending time with the demo version and doing paper trades to familiarize yourself with how the different parameters affect the bot's behavior, before letting it play with your real money. The parameters depend on your trading strategy AND the particular market you are trading in.

Just remember not to blame the bot if it does what you asked it to, and you decide later that it was not a good idea  

Thats basically what the margin maker does. Try that.

Hey guys,

Leonardo newbie here. Can I use the ping pong strategy in a such a way that adapts to the changing curve? So e.g instead of having a permanent buy/sell at e.g. 0.5 BTC/0.6 BTC, I want it to follow the curve and buy/sell at 0.3/0.4, 0.4/0.5 etc.

Similar to what this bot advertises to do:

Basically the bot knows the walls of the price at any given time and ping pongs between them.

Thanks!

hey jonathan, been playing with the bot during the past few days with rapid shifting of the market. for the margin maker algorithm, is it possible to expand the slider to allow negatives?

so we can stack a "backup plan" bot if some of the dips or spike caught the other bots off guard.

You shouldn't have to care about it! leonArdo should handle it all correctly in the background.

Best wishes,
Jonathan

You can play with the demo version for as long as you want. It does pull the data from the exchange in realtime, and simulates buys and sells.
