I decided to test the bot and downloaded it 2 days ago.. it is setup with BTC-e suggested settings and the first thing it did was sell my BTC... no big deal only had a little bit... but since then it made 1 trade and has done nothing for the last 2 days. For 1 of those 2 days I had Gox in there with different settings for both.. is this a no no ? I have since disabled the MTGox trading part (about 15 hours ago) and still no trades... is something wrong?

The bot uses EMA as it's underlying trade strategy, which is a long term strategy, and will sometimes take weeks between trades. It's diciplined & usually won't trade on market 'noise'.

You can change its settings so that it behaves more like a day trading bot, or even an HFT bot, but backtesting proves that doing so is far less profitable than a long term approach.

Then my next question would be is anyone running the suggested settings for BTC-E and have they had the bot trade at all in the last 48 hours?

The following settings are for Bitstamp and BTC-e:

Short EMA: 20 Long EMA: 42
Buy 1: 0 Buy 2: 0.15
Sell 1: 0 Sell 2: 0.1
30 minute time window.

These are the settings I am using. No trades since Dec 5, 2013 at 10:30 PM.
