Hmmm...

Mine's been running in Simulated Mode for 3-4 days, with a CEX.io API key-set.

Currency is BTC, asset is GHS, and thresholds were each changed to -0.025 and 0.025 respectively, as I read that this is what most folks are using.

The result:  Each and every Profit Report (simulated) shows a NEGATIVE number.  The first was -9 and change, and it's progressively decreased to currently -15.xxx.

I've gotta' wonder, if I actually enabled trading with the defaults (and just the changes noted above), would I actually be losing money?  If so, how might I edit things to prevent this?

I can understand that there will be losses / chances of loss in the trading arena, but to lose at EVERY SINGLE TRANSACTION?  That'd be silly...
