It looks like your stop loss blocked a buy.

I suggest making a sperate bot only for drop loss- roof in so that it wont interfere with your other bots.

That doesn't make sense though, maybe you should add the "apply signal to sell/buy" like for the insurances.

Tbh I'm less and less impressed by this bot, it keeps executing trades and thinking they timed out, while in reality the trades either went through or were partially filled. This just happened again on Bitfinex BTC/USD, and I'm not using big orders here, ~0.1BTC. So now it's basically stuck, and although it's in "bought" position edit:(might have been a UI bug, it's now correctly in "sold" position) and it's updated the last buy price, it's waiting on buy signals to fill the rest of the order, which it's tried to do twice but timed out every time once again..

I tried to use "force buy" as the price was now slightly lower than the original buy, but it failed because it's using an incorrect calculation of trade amount, not sure why, so an order got placed for more USD than I had left on the sold side.

Should I be using market orders rather than limit orders to ensure the bot works correctly? Seems risky buy maybe not so much with tiny orders like mine..
