Hi Mosound,
We were in touch by mail, but maybe my answer is important to others here!
Sleep mode on the Mac using the demo seems to have some issues. We are looking into them.
The margin maker has no native stop loss function. We are introducing stop loss, trailing stop loss and other advanced order types on markets' whose API support those calls. We are reluctant to implement a leonArdo emulation of those order types as it will lead to a false sense of security. If for example the network goes down or leonArdo is closed, stop loss orders will not trigger as they are not on the exchange!
You can't control stop loss with the "Min. Effective Gain" setting, but it is useful to give you the flexibility to allow the mArgin maker bot continue trading when the course leaves it's trading area. Setting a minus percentage will allow the bot make a small loss in the hope that it continues to trade and make a profit. But you are in control! Play around with it on the demo first if you are unsure or the cautious type
All the best,
Jonathan
Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for the great email support! I bought Leonardo and it works very good on my iMac, very happy with it. It is running for almost two days now without any errors (except a wifi signal loss, probably better if I use a LAN connection). Every order I place pops up into Poloniex. After the trade it communicates with Leonardo immediately and the trade is shown in the "notification" list as well as the "completed trades" list. The Ping Pong bot works just fine and you can tweek the margin maker according to the market you are trading. It makes trades for you but you need to keep an eye on it i.e. when the market is in a down trend. On the other hand it's early to make conclusions as you need a minimum of 100 trades to determine if the strategy has an edge.
Thanks again,
a very happy customer
