Hi everyone,
I have my bot setup on BTC-e with 7/15 EMA, and I like where it tends to cross nearby to the peak of the up or low swings when it's set to 2 hours sample rate.
My problem is that when the lines cross, the bot doesn't immediately take action, but rather waits until the next time it looks up to sample, which could be 1.5 hours away- and by then the good price is gone.
So my question is how can I keep the EMA cross points happening in the good places like they do now, while lessening the time it takes between the cross & the transaction?
To make it trade on the crossings you have to set the "1" thresholds to something high negative so that they are always met (e.g. -50) and the "2" thresholds to 0.
