My Honest review of GunbotI first found gunbot via this thread, when looking at the various trading bots just before BCC/BCH spawned into existance.
I started trading using v3.3.2, and within a couple of days v5 was announced.
Initially I traded on Kraken, with limited results, due to being rather buggy. Whether thats entirely the bot or krakens fault is still unclear to me, but I was recommended to try bittrex instead.
So I bought an additional licence for bittrex, and started trading, initially using bb with some good results.
Some of the issues I have had with gunbot include;
Polling speed can be rather random, which was a major problem with v4, so I wrote a script to launch 1 pair in its own instance of the bot, which allows me to finely tune the polling time for each pair individually.
This is freely available here:
https://github.com/tandyuk/gblauncher/Memory usage used to be a problem with v4/5, the server I was running it on had 16gb ram, and when running 100+ pairs, I remember having to increase it to 24Gb ram.
This seems to be solved in v6 however, as 120 pairs is now using a little over 12Gb ram.
Bandwidth is currently an issue with v6.0.1, however I am told this has been fixed in v6.0.2 which is currently undergoing beta testing.
Running 84 pairs, at a 30second resolution, the bot used 750GB in one day, so beware if you are trading from home, or have a vps with a bandwidth limit.
The final issue I have had, is the bot missing trades due to open orders, eg bot buys, price rises, bot places sell order at eg 0.001, price drops slightly, but existing order to sell at 0.001 just sits there, in some cases for hours.
This I believe has also been fixed in v6.0.2, however in the interim I wrote the following script to deal with it: bittrex-govenor.php in
https://github.com/tandyuk/gunbotscriptsSo, Gunbot, like all software, is not without its issues!
However the dev team are generally pretty good at fixing issues and adding/tweaking features to make the bot better.
So, is Gunbot profitable?The honest answer to this, is I don't know.
Individual trades, for sure, it picks up on some things that you would never catch trading manually (Like the epic trade above), but overall I dont actually know how much the bot has made me since I started trading.
2 months ago I started trading with a 15BTC fund. I track my trading with
cointracking.info however I have no way to identify trades done by the bot, vs trades done by me manually.
During that time, I have certainly incurred some big losses, most of which are definitely the result of my manual (bad) trades!
Taking into account the losses which I know 100% were incurred by me, rather than the bot, I should have a balance of 14.25BTC.
My current portfolio according to cointracking is worth 14.73BTC, so at a minimum, the bot has earnt around 0.5BTC for me, but quite possibly more.
Would I recommend gunbot?Overall, yes.
However it is not a magic 'make money for me with no work required' machine - it requires a LOT of research to learn about the different trading strategies, which strategies to use on which types of markets, which coins to trade at a particular time, when to sell 'bags' at a loss and when to hold onto them (I know some people would have considered the POT buy that led to this epic trade as being a bag having been held for 5 days)
Maybe the learning curve would be less steep for someone who is already familiar with trading, but from what I've seen the vast majority of the users of gunbot are completely new to trading.
