Re: Should I buy Gunbot, the automated trader ?

Although this is an old topic I share the same experience as OP. You'd think that after three years of development most bugs have been caught but as OP said, with each new version new bugs are probably introduced.

My experience in short:

- After changing settings in the GUI, the bot sometimes freezes, the only way to get it up and running again is by restoring the original config file (I didn't edit the config file manually) so this should not have happened, even once, still it happened twice in two days, forcing me to re-enter all my settings, including the API keys, strategy settings, and trading pairs. Very annoying.

- Random errors, literally random errors without a message attached to them, I checked my internet connection multiple times to see if it had anything to do with it but my internet appeared stable, I have Fiber internet for what its worth.

- Buying conditions met but it doesn't buy at all. Additionally: I entered additional settings like RSI < 30, still, it bought twice when the RSI was 37 and once when ti was 42. The same applies to sell, I had the setting at RSI > 60 before selling, it sold when RSI was at 49 instead.

I think I could live with the random errors as it didn't seem to affect the performance of the bot, however, changing settings, the bot freezing and losing all settings is very annoying. Once the bot froze for no reason while I slept, and during that time it missed a sell order. We're talking about money here so these things shouldn't happen.

As for the freezing after a settings change, the solution: don't change your settings or keep a backup before you change something. I could do that to work around it of course.

But the biggest problem for me is the bot buying when it isn't supposed to buy (paying too much), and selling when it isn't supposed to sell (selling too cheap). Sure you can add additional settings like only sell at x% profit but I leave that field empty on purpose, for the simple reason that when you use a Bollinger band strategy and prices drop instead, you might want to get out at break-even to reduce your losses to a minimum, while if you set that you want at least 0.5% profit your losses might turn out much larger, heavily affecting your overall ROI.

I had high hopes for Gunbot but unfortunately, it's too unstable and requires too much babysitting. If I wanted to watch charts all day I could just as well be trading myself.

Board Scam Accusations
Re: BitexBay Is a scam Exchange

I'd avoid it at all costs.

Three of their accounts at Bitcointalk have been removed, not exactly sure why as with it it removes all the scam accusations in those threads, its like giving them a free way to get back as they simply register a new account and go from there.

We paid them a 0.15 BTC listing for two trading pairs, after all the scam accusations came in I disputed the payment and requested a removal of our token. To our surprise Paypal didn't decide the case in our favor despite the account being registered to a certain Miaoqi Su from Singapore. No reference to China or the US at all.

After some digging I found more information and confronted them with it, which they neither denied or confirmed, instead they chose to ignore it completely.

It appears they are pretending to be based in China and the US while running the exchange from Singapore. i suppose its illegal without the needed licenses and that being the reason they try to hide their identity. They just made one mistake, accepting the listing fee through Paypal that revealed their true identity.

The father of this Miaoqi girl is an expert in python, machine learning, and anything else you need to know to set up a crypto currency exchange so I suppose his Paypal account has already been banned and uses his daughters name instead. I'm not sure what kind of lies they came up with to win the Paypal dispute, it could very well be that they denied any involvement in the exchange and pretended the money was for something entirely different.

Re: [ANN] BitexBay.com Exchange is Improving service quality.Launched Cryptocurrency

BitexBay stole our listing fee (approx $1100) and delisted our coin.

Stay away from this scam exchange at all costs.

The reason their account has been deleted numerous times is due to dozens of people reporting them as being a scam.

Regular users aren't able to withdraw their coins/tokens.

I have strong reason to believe this is the owner from the exchange:
https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100027978889585

Considering the Paypal account used to send the listing fee to is registered under his daughter's name:
https://www.facebook.com/miaoqi

Both reside in Singapore, when sending private messages to both of them none responded.

When I escalated the case at Paypal I suggested them to do a full ID run on Miaoqi Su (the Paypal address account holder), based on the fact that they decided the case in favor of the seller I have no doubt Anthony Nq is the actual owner of the exchange due to his close relationship with Miaoqi Su (he shows up at her graduation photo on Facebook).

I suppose they are running an illegal money transfer business from Singapore and as such try to hide their identity and pretend they are from China instead.

On my next trip to Singapore I'll see if I can report them to the local police.

When I confronted them with this information per email they ignored every reference to the above, neither denying or confirming it.

When searching for Anthony Ng in Google I found the following, which makes it only more likely that he runs this exchange:

https://www.udemy.com/user/anthony-64/
https://twitter.com/algo_hunter?lang=en
https://github.com/anthonyng2

Anthony turns out to be an expert in data science, FX trading with Python, Machine Learning for trading, and so forth, making him the ideal candidate to set up an exchange, while what appears to be his daughter that the Paypal account is registered to doesn't seem to have any affiliation with trading, crypto, or finance.

If anyone has more information on them please send it over.

All you have to do is send us our 100k tokens and listing fee back, is that too much to ask?

Tether was investigated but nothing happened from it, it is still used as the most popular stable coin so i wouldn't call it a scam. ICOs need a lot of research, definitely not for newbies who just put their coins into anything and expect a profit

After they made their money from it they showed some financial reports, that should've done prior.

I'm not a legal expert so I don't know why nohting happened from those subpoenas, out of jurisdiction?

Oooohhh...
Someone's been trying to decipher the hidden agendas that have been happening in the crypto world.
This is good. We need more of the likeness of you.

Yeah that Tether thing have been a real question for me from the start. It became an escape pod for whales. They have freely done the worse in the crypto world without anyone even looking at it.

Now look at us. All dumped. This did not happen before even with bitcoin at a lower value. We have that kind of rule like bitcoin up then altcoin down and vice versa.
But now, it is bitcoin up and altcoin down then bitcoin down and still altcoin goes down. WTH!!!
Ever since that Tether came I did not see any altcoin soar way high than ETH. But now the powers are being taken again.

Will it be goodbye to all the crypto currencies like most analysts sees it. Hell!! Even Buterin feels like it.

It will switch at some point, no one benefits if it literally all goes to zero, I'm sure they are collecting coins while pushing it down at the same time, how they work out that math exactly comes sometimes as a surprise to me but they probably have a better idea then us what's in those order books as 95% is probably just wash trading.

He should've sold at least some of them in december 2017
Does he also have the ability to see the future?
I mean, who would have known that price will deep this way. At that ATH in December, so many people bought then and are yet to see price come that high since that time  Grin

Maybe he was dreaming about $100k Cheesy

i am not really good at TA because i don't like it but what you said doesn't make any sense to me at all!
you are basically expecting this slow and strong rise with a decent buy support to go to $7600 and the whole process would take a long time. then you expect it to have a huge drop, it is not just the size, the size of the drop is not that big it is huge because you are expecting a drop way below a major resistance at $7000!
if there is a bull run then there will be enough buy support to keep the price above $7k and if there is not, a drop back to $6500 is NOT going to be followed by "the moon"!

I had to revisit my own post, when you look at the chart and the lines I've drawn they cross at $6500 at the end, so there will most likely be a big break out at that point.

Mark 13 October on your calendar and revisit this post to see how (in)accurate it is.

The prediction about the dip was pretty accurate. At the time, I expected that to happen as well, even though some people within the market thought that it was going to be a long term trend reversal.

I probably disagree with the prediction regarding the rebound, however.

Personally, it's more likely at this point to see prices continue to dip until a new bottom is found or $6k support is tested again, compared to prices going straight up "to the moon". With such bearish sentiments still remaining in the market, it's almost impossible for a bull market to emerge at this stage. Expect sideways movements and small corrections in the next few months.

I'm not sure where I pulled this $6500 from now that I think about it. I must've felt bullish at the time Smiley

$6800 was crucial and once that gets broken it could just as well go to $6000 - $5800, heck even $5100 would be possible.

What bothers me right now is that all the alts are dropping while bitcoin is remaining stable in the $6100-$6300 range.

The reason if bothers me is because what IF bitcoin does crash to $5000, what affect would that have on all those alts....

EDIT:

Had to revisit that article, now i see where this $6500 comes from, it's at the end of this narrowing triangle where the lines cross, so eventually that could still be the point where it eventually breaks out, right now that line is at $6100-$6200, but it's a ascending line.

If rumours are true and there are some whale dumping 1000's of coins on major exchanges, then we are going to see a slight decrease in the price of bitcoins, until the market absorbed all those coins.  Angry

I cannot understand why a whale will intentionally want to crash the price, by doing it in this way. I would have rather used OCT trading with more privacy and zero slippage, but I figure this person wants to intentionally hurt the price.  Huh

It would be sad, if this was true.  Angry

How can't you understand why people want to crash the price intentionally?

Hint: Illiquid market.

The problem with crypto news sites like Cointelegraph and the ICOs are that, most of these ICO owners who are scamming people somehow promotes their project through these sites because, they are somehow connected with them. I am pretty sure these platforms have earned more than enough from all these shady ICOs that have ran away with all their investor's money. Otherwise, Cointelegraph wouldn't be able to operate till now.


If you have a bit of money you can buy a sponsored post on any of those sites.

If you have even more money you can even buy posts on CNBC, Yahoo Finance, and Business Insider, though i do expect them to do a little more fact checking though not an awful lot.

I have been wondering too why there were tons of good news and yet the price didn't even bother to seesaw for quite a bit but continue to plummet even more with all the adoptions being announced lately that cointelegraph had been publishing. It must be part of this bigger plan to milk all those who invest at every dip just as how they advice them.

Where's the like button Smiley

Your article makes an interesting read. Much of the points raised seems to corroborate my thinking, yet it looks like a conspiracy theory. The good side of it that you did not condemn cryptocurrency rather the criminal tendencies of a few who are manipulating the whole idea of a decentralized financial world.

The ICO part is a theory with zero evidence indeed.

I just thought about what it takes to pump a coin to great heights, and the easiest way to do that is when you control most of the coins, still you want legit publicity around it as most people will do a quick search in Google before buying a coin.

If what was said was true, I think. That is something bad. But, has the situation been so bad? Or is it just a kind of disappointment, about the current market conditions?

Wow this post has attracted a lot more attention than I expected.

I'm a very skeptical person, and when I see CoinTelegraph and others report a lot of positive news I sell my bitcoins immediately because I know it's part of fake propaganda, and the whales that are pretty much in control of this news are ready to dump their tokens on the market.

Once we hit the (temporarily) bottom you'll see articles showing up that predict doom & gloom, bitcoin to $3000, $1000, $4000, or what was published 10 hours ago, 150,000 ETH has been sold by ICO sellers and they have another 3 million ETH ready to sell.

That exact same article in a slightly rewritten form was published on 11 August as well on numerous news sites with the only purpose to make people sell their ETH, in this case, and soon it will get pumped again, and once on top of its pump a lot of positive news appears again.

I know how to ride these waves as all I need to do is follow the news from CCN and CoinTelegraph.

So yes that's a pretty bad situation as many more guilible people fall victim to this nonsense.
