Here is an issue I am having. I have repeated this over the past few days over and over. I'm using the demo version to evaluate before purchase, but I am having issues where the bot buys, but does not sell once hitting a sell target. This keeps happening and often leads to a stop loss as the sell order never gets placed. It appears that it is a connection issue of sorts with Poloniex. I get a message that there is no BTC to sell, however there is (the amount bought at the last (buy) signal.
I have included a screenshot shortly after the sell order was indicated in the logs (but not placed) - So the timing of the screenshot shows the sell point slightly after it initially triggered, so I am aware that in the image it does not look like the sell point was reached, but in fact it was moments earlier.
Here's a screenshot to show what I'm talking about.

Here's the log text:
This is what continues to happen... Scroll down for the most recent failed sell...
Hey,
we will have a look. Are you maybe running a second bot that sold the remaining funds? Or via a manual order?
Can you reproduce it in the demo or was it just a temp. thing?
All the best,

Just one bot running. No manual orders. Still happening. It seems to be an issue between Leonardo and Poloniex communicating with each other. The communication seems a bit erratic between the two. I can actually watch the sell target get passed (significantly at times) then the price drops without actually selling at the target. Ultimately the price falls and often hits a stop loss for a loss instead of the desired profit. Also, what happens is that I have the bot setup with the pair ETH/BTC, it is set to buy .10 ETH at a buy signal (which it does) but then the bot sets the sell signal for only .001296 ETH every time... What is happening? So the ONLY time I get to sell (typically the first roundtrip) it sells for a lesser quantity than the buy. So I get a triple downward issue here... 1.) after the first attempt to sell, it sells only a fraction of the previous buy (this is the amount it sets the sell for every time .001296) - 2.) After the first sell, no other sell target trigger even after they get crossed - 3.) My trades ultimately hit a stop loss and sell for a loss - Which is another issue I have... I have the stop loss set for 1.75% for testing, yet the stop loss sells at a significantly lower point... Last stop loss was almost 3% - I can't seem to get the bot to trade at a profit with these three things working against me. Even in a swing market where it should have no problem turning trades.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
