That's because it would have to make a bad trade to continue. You set that up under Min Effective Gain. If you make that a minus number (I use -5 or -1) it'll allow the program to continue. Otherwise it can't until the price comes back to that point.

The idea is that you allow it to make a bad trade occasionally to allow it to continue trading and (hopefully) make more money than you lost in the trade.

Random luck. I was looking for a new coin to trade and started clicking on diff coins on Poli and saw that one. It was like x-mas in July! lol

The vol died down this morning, but is back. So, bank while you can.

Lets all keep an eye out for coins like that and keep each other informed.

Adding to that:
The profit/loss "per bot" would be great, as well as "per pair", "per exchange", and "leonArdo's totals", all of those per customizable time period.

I know I might be asking a lot with these, but I believe that, if stats are implemented the right way, all these different stats and level of stats could be fetched and displayed easily.  So it's best to think about it entirely from the beginning.

It's not manual, no (though there is that, too).

You essentially have 2 types of bots. Simple ping-pong or what they call margin maker which has a bunch of rules you can define that allow the bot to react to market changes at the speed you desire.

I am talking about the settlement orders for margin positions at poloniex,
it is handled by poloniex, not my own will
poloniex is protecting the the lenders' earnings and also poloniex's profit.

The button you mentioned is for all type of completed orders,
what I mean is to switch off only settlement orders from chart.
When you hover on the orders they are shown as settlement already,
İf they are not shown the reporting of the orders will be more efficient
for example most of below orders are settlement, and they are flooding the chart

Thank you for your reply.

So, if I understand correctly the workings of the mArgin maker bot (please correct me if I am wrong), it simply place a buy or sell order at a price which is determined by [range of price variation (min-max) over the "Statistics interval" chosen, narrowed by the "buy or sell margin %" that I choose], and that order will stay valid for a maximum of "Max. order age".  If the order is not filled past this "Max. order age" time, the bot cancels the order and place a new order at a new price calculated using the same method.  Since the price variation (min-max) during the "Statistics interval" will be different, the calculated price will obviously also be different.  And the order will _not_ be placed if it would have a consequence of giving an effective gain lower than the "Min. effective gain %" (which can obviously be negative).
A few more other parameters can also restrict or influence the placing of orders, like "Never buy above/below" or "Avoid direct buy/sell".

Is my understanding correct?

Feature Request:

- Can you put a switch for settlement trades to be seen or not at the charts for poloniex,
They make the screen crowded with a lot of non-useful information.

Very specific question here:
I am trying to understand the logic which guides the actions of the mArgin maker bot, specifically related to a negative "Min. effective gain".
I understand that setting up a negative "Min. effective gain" (e.g. -2%) would allow the bot to continue trading (in the hope of future gains, instead of doing nothing) when the price goes in the wrong direction for the strategy.
I would like to understand exactly _when_ would the bot decide to take this loss? (that is, to sell below previous purchase price, or to buy above previous sell price)  What is the logic (or mathematical formula) behind it?

It feels important for me to understand that, in order to choose better how to play with this parameter.

How is that memory leak fix coming? I'm getting antsy to trade other coins.

Hi,

I am liking LeonArdo's interface and aesthetics. The night theme is killer. One thing that I am having time struggling with is profits and losses. It seems so far that my trading strategies are profitable, but it is very difficult to determine the profits and losses at any given time. When I hover over a buy and sell indicator, the tooltip reveals some of the info I am looking for, But I think it would be better to see plain and clear the amount of profit or loss in the time period from when the strategy starts to the present. It's difficult to make good trading and strategy descisions for me because I don't see a solid figure anywhere that I can base my trades on. Perhaps I am not looking in the proper place? I want to know how much profit (or loss) LeonArdo is churning out for me. I'd like to see a solid figure in BTC or USD if possible, maybe just pertaining to each strategy. Just some thoughts.

On the bright side, LeonArdo has been a great tool.

Thanks,

DC

Hi, I just bought leonardo, how long does it takes until my key gets activated?

Regards

I'm pretty sure I'm entering the right secret but it is still not letting me log in. It says "the private key you provided is not registered for this product". Any ideas?

and can u explain me what max. order age does? because i leave the bot overnight and it never replace the order it made 8 hours ago missing profits

How do you start Leonardo in a linux box?

I think they've said they're working on it. But it's not in yet.
