All the best,

My 24hr average went down to 3.5% this morning due to a couple of pairs that were making very low gains and then a net loss. I've cut those two and replaced them with two that seem much better and 24hr average is steadily climbing back up, now at 4.92%

What is becoming clear to me is that this software can work very well, but it requires a fair amount of time and effort to learn how all the different parameters interact (not surprising - as with anything really) but also quite a bit of analysis of the trading data in order to cull pairs that are not doing well and optimise the ones that are doing well. To this end I have been logging all trade data in a spreadsheet (periodically) over the last 48 hours so I can make such analyses.

It's been quite a lot of effort, which is fine for now laying the groundwork, but it seems it would be fairly straightforward (in theory - I know you guys are very busy) to add some statistics for each trading pair to get an idea of how they are performing over time - eg net gain/loss per each pair (either all-time or the last N-trades/72 hours or something) which pairs have a high percentage of loss trades etc. This is essentially what I've done in my spreadsheet but it would be so useful if it was built in.

Also a way to see at a glance when inputting amounts to trade with - how much that is worth in BTC (or as a percentage of available BTC). A the moment I have to go back to Bittrex, see how much BTC is available to trade with, divide by the number of pairs Im working with and then figure out how much that BTC is worth in each particular pair. It's quite convoluted and makes it hard to hold an overview of what's really going on at a glance. Again something that would be fairly straightforward to put in the app somewhere. I know you have the wallet overview window but it's not very intuitive and there are no tooltips to clarify what each column actually is.

I'm still really happy with the software on the whole, just wanted to point out some areas for improvement

To be honest I've only been trading for about a month and not full time. I spent a couple of weeks trading manually in my spare time on bittrex before I got leonardo, then I spent a few days trying to figure out how to do it all with leonardo - with a mixture of small successes followed by bigger losses - overall it was losing money. I then kind of gave up, but part of the problem was my terrible internet connection which kept stalling things.

I've since set LeonArdo up on a VPS and things are much better, so I've put some more time in to try and figure a working strategy out and it seems to be paying off. So my point is 6 weeks ago I didn't have a clue about any of this, so it's totally possible to get there. It's not a set-and-forget situation though, it requires lots of time, effort and research to figure out the best combination of pairs/strategies etc.

my latest figures are 9.30% after 34 hours continuous trading on 6 pairs/bots, (or 6.7% per 24hr). I've analysed the data from the trades over that time and identified the weak pairs and am tweaking the settings in the hope to make the weak ones do better. If that doesn't work I will replace them with others and see how that goes.

Best of luck, and if you have any questions about what I've learned in the last few weeks that you think might help, feel free to ask.

Thanks Rene, yeah I've basically come to the same conclusion. It's working pretty well now, I seem to be getting around 6% gains per 24hr peroid. if I can increase that t around 8 or 10 that would be amazing, but even at 6 it's pretty damned good.

Hi mafia,

great to hear from you!
Yes. The release is on target and we are looking forward to the release next week.

All the best,
