Re: Haasonline Simple Trade Bot For BTCe and Bitstamp[Main topic]
Intresting. I've got lots of thoughts on what I would love to see, but this one gave me a surprise. 
Whats the ETA on the benchtool?
Whats the ETA on the benchtool?
The concept is running at the moment, and i will continue full development on it starting from monday after the release. If it goes well it should be in the update after monday. (aka the next monday)
You are indeed right, there are many ways how the benchmarking can be worked out. But its complex, really complex because of the inter-market signals, separate buy and sell signals and different timings of the indicators.
BTW We do have more suprices in store for everybody, but one step at the time.
Stephan could you please implement a fee calculation method using just the % trading fees and not the trade amount - maybe as an alternate option to the current implementation?
I'm surprised no one else has noticed this - I had the bot run and make unprofitable trades solely due to the incorrect trade fee calculation. It bought low and sold high, but not sufficiently so to overcome the fees.

As a suggestion regarding the indicators, it would be useful to be able to send signals when indicators *finish* indicating a buy/sell position. For example when RSI *finishes* indicating overbought it is often a good time to buy.
Thanks

Yes sure we can add that, no problem.
About the indicators.... i understand you have assigned an single RSI indicator, and yes as soon as the threshold is found a signal will be produced. But you can delay this signal in 2 ways. First you can set 80/20 instead of 30/70 to delay the signal or you can add an additional indicator to delay the signal too. Both methods will result in a later trade momentum, the thing you want to make possible.
I do have some documentation available here:

Edit:
This is what i am looking at right now: (and whats monday coming at the update)
Please note there is 1 coin missing here, and that is the 42-coin. That specific coin is giving problems because of the name, i am not really sure if this can be solved.
