Also it doesn't look like the wallets are updating...  I have sell orders open, and the wallet has not reserved the amount. Then it lets you sell the wallet.  And then...  the order in the strategy stops. 

hmmm

definitely seems to be an issue.  But not on all my pairs.  I'm only running 5 pairs but BTC/NEO and BTC/XMR are really struggling. It keeps sitting saying strategy busy...  very odd. I've set the call quota to 70 now.  Lets see if this resolves the issue.

I have another question.  As the price increases it doesn't re-ajust the buy level. it leaves it waiting for a drop rather than constantly working the peaks and troffs.  Have I missed something with that?

thanks

Hi hooliuk,

What is the 'manual call quota per minute' parameter set at? If it is set too low you can increase it. Most of the calls we do from bitfinex use web sockets and don't affect the call quota.

I just tested Bitfinex there and it was quite fast.

Anyone else having difficulties with Bitfinex?

Best wishes,
Jonathan

It is NOT a scam, if you purchased through the official website (http://www.marginsoftware.de/product.html). If you did buy it from the official website, it may be the case your secret key had a typo when you filled the form. I'm sure that if that's the case, they will assist you and fix your key.

I can't tell you a currency name, but can give some suggestions.

1. The way margin maker works, it is best to go after stable currencies i.e the one which are generally not prone to 'pumps and dumps'

2. The currency you are trading in , should have high trading volume

3. The currency should ideally see a lot of swings (inside a range) within a day.
For eg, if a currency keeps fluctuating between 0.020 btc and 0.026 btc, then it will keep you chance to execute multiple trades within a day.

4. If the trade is in a clear downward trend, I would steer clear of the margin maker and trade manually instead.

5. Keeping in mind the above 4 points, I find that on a given day there are many such pairs to be found within the top 15-20 currencies.
You can go to https://coinmarketcap.com/all/views/all/ to get an idea.

6. Periodically keep reviewing the market, especially the currency which you are trading on. The margin maker is an excellent tool, but periodic manual supervision makes it work even better.

7. I prefer small effective gains over big ones. I keep my minimum effect gain less than 2%. The reason is I feel that a coin has more chances to gain 1% (and subsequently drop  a few percents) than gaining say 10%.
So lets say, you have kept the min eff gain as 8% and the currency keeps fluctuating between 3-4% gains (and drops), then it will be a long time before you would get a sell chance. And you would have missed multiple small trades of 1-2%, which in total MIGHT have made you more than the desired 8%.

Of course, all this is just personal opinion and not a hard and fast rule.

Very odd. I click the button and it reloads the page.... I tried it on OSX and also a windows machine.  Both with the same results..  I can try on my Ubuntu box at home when I get in later.

Thanks
