I have had many gains, but the cumulative total of the gains seem much less than other users have posted. I am trading with ~1btc on ~18 markets, using only default settings: .8% gain, place buy and sell pings at recommended price. Some of the markets are VERY active, one made over 150 ping pongs. It is fun to watch

I am looking to increase the total gain though, and not sure how? I see lots of people using 1% minGain and I will try that, any other ideas?
First try to increase the % Gain on the 18 Markets. Then check the high/min values of these markets and try to set very higher % Gain and buy/sell when they are at min/max market values.
Some very active markets make an occasional loss, buy and sell at same price so fees are removed, but it seems ~5% of the total and not significant. Some market like TIPS/LTC, all but 1 trade were like negative

is this a cat/cryptsy bug or is something about that market I should avoid?
This is a particular case i will remove in the next version.
Does min% gain setting include cryptsy fee? after buy and sell cryptsy charges 0.5%, so min 0.8% gain is 0.3% gain after fee? or does CAT calculate in the fee (1.1% for .8% setting)
Yes % Gain is WITH Fees.
Will CAT do less quantity than the user set ping order? I would like to trade with a larger amount to get bigger gains but do not want to miss small trades.
The never/buy sell directly option would take off some small gain yes? but with the possibility of more trades because you will not wait for an order? or less trades because less opportunity to meet min%gain (narrower % diff in market)?
What do you mean by "do less quantity than the user set ping order"?
When you create a PING, cat will create the Ping Order and if there's a way to recreate in better position, CAT will recreate with the Same Total Amount but difference Price (so quantity will change).
When there's a Trade, Cat will create the Pong Order. If a Ping Order is filled with 5 trade, there will be 5 Pong.
If I stop process and leave pong order open, then create new ping orders, will pre-stop pong orders generate new ping orders again?
If you stop the process, all orders will remain open on cryptsy, but CAT will stop lookup on that markets.
