humm yea, maybe because you have to have enough on each side of the trade? I got this too and that was the reason, I think.

Small tip: Using the Windows Classic interface you can press "Buy now" or "Sell now". This will force the trade-bot to respond and it will show you if trading is working or not. (i am trading at Btc/Ltc on Cex.IO)

About the STB... i will have a look this eve if i can make it working again. But the general recommendation is just to move over to the new software. There is a donation license at the ready to make this possible for free (for the old users!) and using the Windows Classic Interface you have the same kind of interface again. Functional and technical the new software is better.

I can confirm its indeed for 100% related to the API of Cryptsy. All my servers and computers (at different accounts and unique IP adresses) show the same kind problems. Its becoming almost useless to keep on supporting Cryptsy.

BTW i did take a look to the new coins of Cryptsy, but the reported one (TIPS) was not yet inside the API.

So for us this is a sign to innovate and get some new and better exchanges in. At this moment we are working (ahum testing already) on adding CEX.IO to the supported exchanges. Its the most requested exchange based on the poll at the website. The second most requested is Vircurex at this moment so we are gonna have a look to see if we can add that one too.

@moesha:
Restart your software totally, get the latest version in and have a look using the benchmark/backtest tool. It will show you what should have happened in a period of the past 26-27 hours.

@xpumpa:
That problem sound very, very strange. Can you please contact me per mail or support ticket and maybe send me info like the logbook or something like that? It can be very helpful to have a look to it so i can maybe solve it.

The benchmarktool as you know it from the STB is not yet present. The current advice is to setup a trade-bot and leave it running for a while non-activated. Using the "Current signals" it is possible to see when trade-command should have been send. This is the current way to benchmark.

I did the same while writing the first help pages of the indicator, you can see it here:
https://www.haasbot.com/indicator-rsi/
https://www.haasbot.com/indicator-stochastic-oscillator/

However as stated before this is not the real benchmark tool. We are working on something much better. I can not fully disclose yet, but think in the direction of auto-tune capabilities. Maybe (i am not fully sure!) the first parts will become visible coming on the update of monday.

@Peyko:
The software works as a local webserver. This means you have to keep your computer running. (the browser may be closed, thats no problem) However, you can control the software indeed remote. The only things you need to do to make this work is to give the software Admin rights and enter your local IP adres in the webserver settings. Once thats done then you can access the interface from your tablet, smartphone or any other computer.

I am doing my best for the documentation right now, like i told before the guy who did the documentation has stolen my software i am left behind. So this is a big problem right now and we are doing our best to solve it asap.

The short description for the safeties are:

Fixed drop loss price - here you can set a price below the current price, if the currency goed below the price you set the safety will sell all your coins.

Dynamic drop loss price - Same as the fixed drop-loss price, but this one is adjustes each X intervals to a X percentage of the current price. (<100%)

Moving average drop loss - Also the same as the fixed drop loss, but here a moving average is used to set the price.

Roof out safeties - Those are exactly the same as the drop loss safeties expect they work different. With the roof-out safeties you can set a top price and if the currency hits this price (or above) then the safety will kick in and sell the coins.


@eyegoatboy:
By default each indicator will work on a 1 minute interval. However if you edit the indicator it is possible to adjust the update speed in steps per minute. This is done so you can combine more indicators at different update speeds.

It even possible to push the limits here, the indicators can set to there own exchange and currency. This means it can watch a different market while it responces on the trade-bot. This is also know as inter-market signals. Its a very cool feature that works perfect aldo i say it myself. I just love it. (the principle: trade at BTCe for example while getting the trade commands from MtGox, the result is an super fast responce)


@garry:
I have reset your license. Try no to active the software on to many computers. It has been build to run on one computer at once.


@Jabbers:
Your suggestion looks very logical, but here are a few situations where the concept does not work or where it will produce false readings. The problem is located in the situation where the end-user makes changes to the trade-amount while running. Something i expect happens a lot for tuning. As you know a full trade cycle exists out of a buy and a sell moment. Any changes introduced in the time between these commands will result in a false reading in the end.

But as promissed i will add some fields to show some earnings without the fee inside it. They will not be 100% accurate due rounding issues but it is something.

We do have a concept here that would solve the entire problem, its a different approuch. But before i tell about it we must first make sure the concept works. I do not want to create false hope especially if i am not sure myself it works.


@silverston:
Try to search for:

I am sure you will find them.


@icebear888:
Based on the mails i got i can say a beginner does about <2% a day, pure at default settings. And i can confirm this because at default i get the same kind of numbers. But please know its hard to make a real estimate. There are a lot of things involved that will impact the final outcome. As one of the developers i can call myself an expert, but this does not guarantee anything. When i trade (mostly when i sleep, during the day i develop) i do also see 0% profits. But because i spread my trade-amount over more bots, more currencies and different strategies i (almost) have a steady income. If one of 2 bots does 0% then it does not matter to me. The spreading over the amount of trade-bots will compensate for that.

Some people argu i can do better, and that is of course true. But personally i prefer spreading my coins and chances.

I hope you see some comment from others to, as the developer i can not be fully objective in my response.


@all:
For the next update (expected to be released coming monday again) the missing coins of Cryptsy will be added. The past 2 days i have made the needed changes to support them all. The API is now fully updated and it does support the 120 markets of cryptsy at the moment. Including the populair DODGE coin and 42 coin.

BTW all licenses will support the alt-coins, no worries.

Of couse this is not all the changes/improvements that are coming. This is just the biggest one of the moment. But we are on a roll here, development is going very well. The only thing behind shedule is the documentation.

New settings didn't do too well on the latest crash.  Both bots had brought in around 822 an hour before the crash.  I'm running two different Macd/RSI settings.  The RSI kept the bots in when the Macd was screaming 'Get Out !'

Looking forward to the benchmarking tool coming   I've got to try different buy and sell indicators

@jabbers:
You`re welcome!

@eyegoatboy:
The waiting of something of the past, in this new software there is no need to wait anymore. My server here is giving you the latest prices so trading can start directly.

BTW you can verify this by looking at the indicator chart, it should show calculated value directly. (personally i love this)

Sweet I'll test that out

Looks like this is resolved  Watched Server log before and after activating.

Thanks

50 is the idle mode, when the bot shows 50 in its charts then or there are open order or the trade-amount is invalid. I can recommend to have a look at the debug log to see whats going on.

Thanks, i solved it directly! Others should not have this problem.

Edit:
I am looking to the insurance settings -bug now. (it not solved in this update yet)

almost 24 hours - no buy, no sale ... is this normal?
