HI
first time here, so dont panic  Grin

have some questions, but not about program working, because i think it's working just fine right now (only that in last update it erase all indicators).

first we should discuss more about your data collection, and how are they collected. i want to know on what bases are values collected; if I understand correct, bot is working on 1 minute and this is interval on which it send signal for buy or sell, but are the values for btc collected every second and from every second is calculated average value, or it's just value after every minute?
and how this effect on intervals of indicator for 10 or 15 minute? 1 value every 10/15 minute?

and about your discussion with g0re79 about different graphs in your bot and bitcoinwisdom etc.; I dont think that you have the point here, those sites are much better in tracking history than this bot (and this is in this downtrend very important!), and if all those sites show different values for average value in some intervals, than i think that your way is not so uniqe and different, but simply wrong. because as i can see, your bot collects maybe extreme values, and other sites want to show average to get smooth lines, which they should be. and that's why RSI & MACD are going crazy in this bot - for extrems, and in othes sites they are god. you will say get longer time; it's true, but not so long anyway. PPO is with delay, MA even worse, and ppl will lose their money because of this (they allready are because trend is down and settings are for this purpose wrong...)

second question: signals for buy / sell ? in all indicators are 100% = sell and 0% = buy?

third question: intervals of indicators...
RSI & co it's ok: over / under, but what about MA & co? normaly when the cross the line, but what is when they are set for 10 minutes? is bot selling interval for buy/sell for 10 minutes? if I combine this with fast RSI, in those 10 minutes he will wait for RSI to give signal and it will produce signal in first minute or in last minute; depends on both indicators?
or when they are crossing the line, this means that there is no signal (0%->100% & 100%->0%) and in this time (how long) there will be no trade?

4: I want to know exactly what box of ''use buy/sell signal'' means? it means that this indicator will be consider only in buying or selling activity?
this is important, because i think that we should have 2 different strategy for time when btc is going upo and when btc is going down. and with ticking those boxes this could be possible; one MACD for uptrends when it will be only for producing selling signals (and wont be consider for buying) and one MACD for down...
and in this point I would like to know how to set up with this setting indicator ''procent price change''. I want that it will look just for that I can set how many % the price will go up when the bot will sell the coins, and I dont care how much it will drop/raise for next buy? is this with ticking only ''use sell signal'' and leaving box for ''use buy signal'' empty?

5: it's better to start server in admin rights? because in user it wont update...

6: showing history... this is useless. it should be at least 1 day; 2 days optimum (now i leave bot working (not active) and print and analyze indicators for 1 day) 1 week would be ideal, but with larger scale... those 30 minutes are big joke...

7: in insurances and indicators are both price change, are their function different?

8: autotune i wont even comment...

thx, hope you can answer.
sincerely
