Hi,

I'm new to linux and want to try the linux version but have no clue how to install it (hence WINE) can you show me please?

Just download the linux version here:

http://www.marginsoftware.de/downloads.html

unpack the zipfile and then just run the run-leonArdo.sh and you should be ready to go

Just tested and left it going overnight and no crash

I started 4 currency pairs with Bittrex used the default settings of margin trading. Couple of questions...

On all 4 currency pairs it only made 1 buy and 1 sell before stopping. How can I prevent this and have
it to continue trading?

On 3 of the trades it sold for less than the purchase price. How can I prevent this from happening
obvously I don't want it to sell for less than the purchase. I would rather hodl than sell if possible.

Thanks for helping Cheesy

This happened because stop-loss kicked in. Stop-loss lets you tell the bot the max loss you are willing to accept and when the course drops it will kick in to ensure you only lose that amount. You can switch off this option if you expect the course to bounce back again.

The other parameter you need to watch for when using the mArgin maker bot is the Min Effective Gain % parameter. This ensures the bot will make the gain you want it to make. If for example you set this to 1% it will make sure the sell price is at least 1% higher (taking trading fees into account) than the buy price was - and vice versa.

Another possibility is to use the static ping pong bot and explicitly set fixed buy and sell prices.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Best wishes,
Jonathan

Cheers for the reply and help Jonathan. Can you show me where to turn off the stop loss in version 3.3.0

You just need to check box stop loss , you will good to go with or without stop loss option.

There is no box labeled 'stop loss' in version 3.3.0. Is the software able to make new trades while holding the old ones? If so how please.
Example stock buy @100 > falls to 75 > buy @75 falls to 50 buy @50 > rises to 80 sells 2nd buy @80.

No, you are right, stop-loss only arrived in our last 3.4 release.

There is no way with version 3.3 that a bot could have sold for less than it bought unless the Min Effective gain was set to a minus value.

Both current bots are swing trade bots that switch from a buy/sell state to a sell/buy one. They cannot do what you described there.

We will be bringing out a host of new bots in the fall.

Best wishes,
Jonathan
