I'm going to share my experience with this bot. I bought the simple trade bot many months ago and that bot was great. I even took the plunge and upgraded to the trade server as soon as I could. This was the worst mistake I can make. The trade server is just terrible. Since it's release I have tried to use it after each update. Each time I am disappointed. At first I was disappointed because the trade server had many less features than the simple trade bot. Now I'm disappointed because the bot just doesn't work as it should. I am going to show the trade log from last night:
According to the trade server 26 trades were executed. You'll notice that the first order is a buy even though I started the bot in the bought position meaning it should have sold first but what ever.

You will notice that the bot doesn't even check to see if they're open orders before it performs its next buy. I am even left with 2 open sell orders of 2500 DOGE meaning I have 5000 more DOGE than when I started. This is completely unacceptable. Sure it's my fault for letting the bot run overnight and not watching it, but I expect it to at least work better than the previous version which the trade server does not.
