Some nice action by the Bollinger Band bot  

http://www.marginsoftware.de/forum-images/BB-action.png

What is the condition for triggering?  I thought it was when the candle crosses the line.  If that were true it should have sold at 2am, but instead it sold at 7am at a higher price. What are the full settings for this?

What would be even better would  be multiple open positions in bb.  Can you run another instance with wider parameters?  Could you have an option for a second buy at a lower price?

++for trailing stop.  that combined with manual trading = good profits

Edit: I think the reason it sold where it did is because moving averages change.  At that moment 2am did not cross the line but with more data is does.

It is probably because of Effective Gain Margin % ! at 2 am for example it was only 0.80% gain, and at 7 it as 1.60%

@leonArdo@margin, can you give us all of the parameters for that eth/btc run? 

The 3.7.7 arm version is available.  It still crashes if you close an active tab. Workaround is to focus on another tab and close it.  If you want to migrate to a different computer do you zip the .leonardo folder and paste it in?  will this work even if you change to a different os?  Also, is there a user manual?  So many parameters and no clear guide.

Some people are asking how the Bollinger Band's spot order placing works? Here is an explanation.

It works like the following. There is a signal trigger line shown in the chart. If you have a Min effective gain set, it can mean the signal threshold is shifted but this is also visualised in the chart so you can see exactly where it is too.

This signal line is triggered when the opposite order book intersects it. That means for a sell signal line the top of the buy side order book has to hit it. The BB bot will then trigger a spot order. But wait, the spot order won’t necessarily go through at the exact price of the trigger. Why? Because the order book does not have infinite depth at that price. In fact the order book is fluid and in constant motion. Therefore by the time the sell spot order (actually a low price limit order as most APIs have no native support for spot orders) lands at the exchange the order book may may retreated back again or indeed advanced to a higher price. If it retreats back the spot order has to overcome the spread and a potentially shallow order book. That can mean a sell order becomes a completed trade at a price that is lower than that indicated by the original sell signal trigger. On the other hand if you are lucky the price will have increased and you will get a better price. There is no way to ensure a specific price with a spot order.

One thing you can do to mitigate the chance of the bot making a loss is to set a higher Min Effective Gain.

All the best,
Jonathan

do you plan to work with binance?

I think this question gets asked at least once a day.  The Leonardo team intends to release support for Binance in a later update.

Great explanation, thanks Jonathan. By the way, I asked here in the forum and in an e-mail to support, some days ago, a more detailed explanation about the stop loss options, specially the buy one. Since I still didn't get an answer, it may be more interesting to reply here, because it for sure will be useful to others. Thanks.

The past two updates have caused continuous runtime errors on Win10 x64.  I can't keep the app running for more than an hour without a crash.  No bots running.

Hi,

i as a "newbie trader" am really really interested on gdax support as it gives me the possibilities to test the bot(s) without great risk of spending my money on trade fees. so i can run and test my strategies with minimalistic gains etc. does it make any sense ? And it has greater volumes than Bittrex or Poloniex.

Also Coinbase / GDAX seems to manage still to register new users

all i can dream of is Gdax support
+ Bitstamp trailing stop or to be more specific a stop with shrinking gap (trail will catch up) (the closer i get to my desired price goal the tighter will be the trail) as bitcoin is very volatile my trail must be bigger than 100-150 euros as this candle "swing" is normal.

so example i plan to sell bitcoins when price is about 12 000 so i start the trail from 11 000 with 300 euros then from 11500 trail will be 200  11800 / 100 so my "trail" is never too loose  and i can profit even small changes / gains without fear that the sudden fall will eat my profit as "trail" was loose. and leave me with trading fees only. it saves up to 1%.

Jonathan, thanks for all your support of your software.

Is there any plans in the future to be able to run the bot for GDAX,com exchange? I havent scrubbed this thread to see if its already been addressed.

I'm interested, but why do you want to use GDAX, it is so limited and doesn't have trading pairs?  I agree about volume, but still the "large coin/small coin" pair trading seems to me what leonArdo does best.

Just purchased my first bot, this one. Waiting for the team to modify it for me, whatever that means, excited to start! Do you guys keep track of your profits somewhere?

New here too. I thought it was kind of funny that they said they were building a custom version.  It's the same program as the demo, they just need to enable your api key.   Good question about profits.  Lot's of tiny profits and losses, hard to figure out what's really happening.

Feature request: optionally play sound when bot sells or buys. This way you can switch to leonArdo app and check out what's happening.

[wabbits]

Heres a link to a trade log, which may help keep track of trades.

https://steemit.com/crypto/@lukestokes/the-cryptocurrency-bank-spreadsheet

Heres a link to one i've made for myself. It's fairly basic and only supports trades on poloniex and hitbtc presently. For leonardo, you would have to copy and paste the trades for each pair separately.

however it makes more sense to just get the trades from your exchange until they implement this feature.

Please check for errors in the sheet and use this at your own risk

Hello, i have a trouble with Margin maker strategy. I don`t use it since a week ago when i bought magin maker program(i use a bollinger bands bot,and it works great). Tonight i start autotraiding with Marin maker strategy few times. Program places order(i see it in active orders), but when i came to computer few hours later i have an error in the screenshot.https://yadi.sk/i/rZJ7Fy2x3RR2v8 Nothing was  bought, no orders in active orders, no log entries.According to settings it must be bought btc and sell it after with profit! So, bot doesn`t work for me. Please, fix it.
Upd. Here is a log:

Hey,

Sorry about the crashes. How many pairs are you using? And are you using the latest upgrade? Are you maybe using Bitdefender on your System?
Can you send the log and a description on which exchange and how many pairs you are using to support@marginsoftware.de?

All the best,

Rene

Hi,

i as a "newbie trader" am really really interested on gdax support as it gives me the possibilities to test the bot(s) without great risk of spending my money on trade fees. so i can run and test my strategies with minimalistic gains etc. does it make any sense ? And it has greater volumes than Bittrex or Poloniex.

Also Coinbase / GDAX seems to manage still to register new users

all i can dream of is Gdax support
+ Bitstamp trailing stop or to be more specific a stop with shrinking gap (trail will catch up) (the closer i get to my desired price goal the tighter will be the trail) as bitcoin is very volatile my trail must be bigger than 100-150 euros as this candle "swing" is normal.

so example i plan to sell bitcoins when price is about 12 000 so i start the trail from 11 000 with 300 euros then from 11500 trail will be 200  11800 / 100 so my "trail" is never too loose  and i can profit even small changes / gains without fear that the sudden fall will eat my profit as "trail" was loose. and leave me with trading fees only. it saves up to 1%.

Hi,

GDAX is definitely on our list. Spot orders would have fees though, just limit orders on the book (maker) would be fee free.
We will also implement further advanced order types over time. It is just all a matter of resource allocation

Thanks for your support,

Hey lads.

I just tried logging in to Bitfinex on Windows 10(1709, 16299.15)

When I press login after entering the correct keys, it simply hangs on that screen with a greyed out login button.
Demo works fine, and I've confirmed my keys are a 100% correct.

Logs don't state anything funky, here's the only one associated to this problem.

This sucks since I'm not able to use the bot due to this.

I will also respond to support but the details are:

Bittrex, 5 - 6 pairs, latest upgrade (as of today).  I am using Bitdefender.  Does it kill Leonardo?
