Hi, Sabine
Leaving the 'expert' term behind, I'll try to answer your questions and doubts
TRADING_LIMIT 1% of your budget (I increased this one to 2%)
GAIN 0,6 (I increased this one to 0,7%)
Pairs recommended 15 (I added 5 more because of my bags, i am botting 20 pairs. But because of my bags i am botting about 14 pairs)
The first week I made on average per day about 0,074% profit with about 13 full trades per day (buying and selling).
So i changed them slightly.
With my changes i make about 0,33% profit per day with about 25 full trades per day (buying and selling).
If I think about the results other people got with emotionless and that this strategy is suited to be profitable in bull and also bear markets, i really wonder what are they doing different?
I mean with this strategy there is not much room to change and modify the bot.
Even if i would not hold those bags i currently have (about 6), i would not be even close to the 1% per day.
I cannot say for sure how your trades happened, but my guess is that only some pairs are making most of the trades.
In a situation like that, only a small fraction of your total capital is being used (which is not a bad thing for some trader profiles). For example, having 1 BTC to trade, 20 pairs, 2% on each (0.04 BTC). With 20 pairs, trading with Emotionless and ~1% gain per trade, we'd have:
0.04 * 1% = 0.0004
0.0004 * 20 = 0.008
Meaning that, in a whole day and making 20 trades, the result would be 0.4% of your total capital.
My suggestion for that would be to make a better pairs selection (even if meaning less pairs) and to increase TRADING_LIMIT according to the coin you are trading. Some of them allow 'safe' scalps with higher trading limits, others don't.
I know about all the ways to handle bags, sending them to another address or to sell them with a loss (no fan of that, and will not do so).
Most of the tips and wiki posts are not really useful when using emotionless.
You just cannot modify your settings enough to get rid of your bags (double up, RT etc.).
DU is appliable to Emotionless. In newer LT versions, you can use it normally. Contact your reseller to get the latest version.
Another big question is about the volatile coins. It is said to use volatile coins since gunbot "eats volatility and spits out profit", but is this really recommended for emotionless? Adding volatile coins means managing your bot on a regular basis, this is contradictory to all the headlines about emotionless. It is said that with emotionless strategy you earn your daily profits without managing your bot and also you shouldnt modify and interfere with its work.
Volatile coins have a big fluctuation, but can Emotionless get that high spread generated? Ofc you can trade with smaller (or even exchange's minimum) trading limits to check for yourself, but as you said, the monitoring would have to me more frequent, considering that everything that pumps, dumps... DU is still an alternative, but imo stabler coins are more suitable for Emo strat.
