Topic: Newbie; would like to participate in the thread about Haasonline Simple TradeBot (Read 570 times)

Hi,

I recently purchased the Haasonline Simple Trade Bot.

First of all I think it is great. A little rough around the edges, but it is still in beta after all. It looks like it has great potential, I'm very excited to be able to use it.

I've had a few days to play with it and I have it trading for me now (about 3 btc).  So far I understand most of it, though I having a little difficulty understanding how to get several indictors working at the same time.  I'm sure that I will be able to figure it out eventually.  One of the last questions in the thread on the "Topic: Haasonline Simple Trade Bot For BTCe and Bitstamp[Main topic]" was concerning the drop-loss function.  I've played around with the "BTCeBtcUsd300-500.ctf" file and found some settings that are acceptable for me.  In the advanced settings, I have drop-loss timeout set to 4800 (80 min) and the percentage set to 97%.  This gives me a loss of only about -365 dollars instead of -1000 for some of the other settings.  For now I am happy with this amount of loss during a crash.

I would like to know if you could add an option to force the bot to stop trading when the drop loss is triggered, even though the drop-loss timeout is enabled.  I know that it was designed to resume trading after the bottom is reached (which it does when I do a benchmark with the 300-500.ctf file), but it would be nice to also have a way to either stop trading or continue trading after a crash.  My loss would only be about -170 if the bot would have stopped trading.

Thanks, I look forward to being able to participate in the current discussion about the bot.
