yes, it means there's a bug in the software, that you should report.

Fuck this..

The bot "trades" on bitstamp and shows that everything worked fine.. that I made some money..


but when I look at bitstamp NO TRADES HAVE BEEN MADE.

This is the BOT'S FAULT! Even if bitstamp's api didn't work, which I don't believe, the bot should give the error.

It can't go on claiming I've made profits when it hasn't even realized the trade.

I hope the new version will fix crap like this. :\

Also, if this is true "3 comment which i am totally unable to solve" and "this is less then 0,1% of the users", there would be over 3000 STB users..which would mean a fortune for the seller of the software.

Also.. there is something more broken with the Bitstamp-connection.. The chart looks okay (1500 ticks, 100sec), but when I saved the data to a file the file contains TWO TICKS so it's totally worthless.. and now when I try to benchmark with the data seen in the chart (without opening a file) it only uses the timeframe since saving the file. There's some discrepancy between what is shown on the chart, and what the bot acually uses for tick data.

I'm a verified user and have been pleased with Bistamp so far, but now I'm starting to get pissed..
I've received two withdrawals from bitstamp before and had one sepa-deposit received to my account in just a matter of days.

Now however, I've been waiting for over a month for my sepa-deposit of 1400€ to be credited to my account. I got a response to my ticket more than two weeks ago, promising that "they'll look for my deposit". After that, nothing - no response to my further inquiries.

I sent the payment on the 29th of November, and now ordered an investigation at my bank. It was "good" (in a way) to read in another thread that there are two banks with the same BIC/SWIFT-code, maybe that's the case - but it would be weird since my first deposit was sent to the correct one..

> Edit, received my funds on 31st of December. Thank you Bitstamp! Communication wasn't perfect and it took it's time to be solved, but in the end all's good.

As I posted some pages ago (with a lot of problems and complaints), I haven't been able to successfully use Bitstamp at all. The bot can execute one trade, but after that no trades go through (when I look at the transactions in bitstamp) even if the bot says everything is ok..

Hi guys,

I realize this is an old thread, just wanted to throw in my two cents. I've received two withdrawals from bitstamp before, and had one sepa-deposit received to my account in just a matter of days.

Now however, I've been waiting for over a month for my sepa-deposit of 1400€ to be credited to my account. I got a response to my ticket more than two weeks ago, promising that they'll look for my deposit. After that, nothing - no response to my further inquiries. I suppose they're just busy, but it's a lot of money for me..

and this is why there should be open source.. if not for the entire software, at least for the mathematical calculations and the main algorithms and indicators. since pretty clearly there are some errors, that could've been fixed a long time ago, had other people had a chance to look at and test the program :\

Dear Stephan and everyone else,

I've been using the bot more of less for about a month now. I paid very dearly for it, nearly $400. For I've only lost money buying and using it. I'm happy that the software is being actively developed and supported, but I find the priorities lacking, and certainly I feel a bit put down for not yet even getting back on my own. My thoughts on all this:

FREEZE! STOP developing new features and new stuff until the basics are WORKING.


I don't want to be utterly negative, but I'm starting to lose my patience and humor. The simple trade bot is still very encumbered with bugs. Orders are not getting through, the bitstamp-api does not work and the bot keeps getting hung up and freezing.

I have had it crash repeatedly on several different exceptions (invalid nounce, array index out of bounds, unhandled exception, exception when btce returned "success", "object reference not set to an instance of object"..), the chart-component has severe flaws, some of the indicators don't seem to work the way they should, open orders aren't shown in list, bot is sending command to sell even if already sold etc.

As a minor detail, but still more important than new features, is that the usability isn't very good. Keyboard shortcuts are missing, the tab-order is messed up, labels and the functionality in general isn't very descriptive or clear. Good documentation is also missing


In my opinion there must be a very clear priority set up for fixing the bot. Only after it is in the very least reliably working (and preferaly finely polished) should there be any thought of accepting new feature requests or implementing any new stuff or indicators. We must first fix critical errors (eg. crashing, exceptions, orders not getting through, faulty indicators), annoying bugs (eg. chart component) and add only the extremely necessary features (eg. historical data).

Also, when users encounter bugs or errors or weird behavior (as reported even in this thread), it's not particularly helpful to tout that "it works perfectly, there is no bug". Au contraire, it is very likely there is indeed some underlying error, even if the problem couldn't be replicated. It should be noted, looked into, and if nothing is found it should be kept on record as a possible bug.


Even if this seems very judgemental, don't get me wrong: I do see a lot of potential in the bot and I have enjoyed playing with it. I just felt like reporting on the current state of the bot the way I see it to other people considering buying it. I'm sure one day it will be an immensely helpful and finely polished tool - but we're not quite there yet.

Have a good new week all,
