almost crying when checking my great profit HTS shows me. Cry

i see it made 20+ trades with 10% profit today, let's check...

on cryptsy i see on of the first sell's still pending in the cryptsy orderbook.
because of the downtrend i will only lose value.

why did HTS think it could still go on trading while it was pending as order Huh

price dropped as hell and the order will be never filled like that. Angry

on top of that i see HTS took a another trade with again the trade amount. so i have 2*trade amount on my loss Sad

HTS is really buggy and making big losses for me, hope we get the stable rock HTS asap.

thanks for listening to my frustrations...

Sounds like HTS placed the order then? The currency was falling so fast, that the order was not filled maybe? This can indeed happen unfortunately. The same may have happened if you'd have placed the order manually. A bot can give no guarantee of an order filling, only the market can fill an order. Exchange API (lag) or internet connection issues may cause this also. Cryptsy API can be unreliable. I've just returned to trading there after several weeks as it seems better.

I understand your frustration. Trading is stressful at times. Maybe I can suggest a solution.

QtBitcoinTrader has a facility to place an order + or - a percentage. This way, they order is more likely to filled, particularly when a currency is falling as you describe. It may be useful to have this facility in HTS, though it can make profit/loss calculations inaccurate unless HTS retrieves the order history and makes the calculations.

Stephan. Is it possible to have a percentage adjustment to placed orders?
