Haasonline Simple Trade Bot For BTCe and Bitstamp[Main topic]

[coinfresh]

so has anyone been profitable with this bot?

[Mogumodz]

Hello Stephan,

Hopefully I´m not bothering you with stupid questions,
i´m pretty new to all this. I bouhgt your bot a few days ago and went down your help-site and stuck at this point:

"...Now lets go first to the profit safety. This safety must be enabled of course. Set the value of the profit safety to 0. Now activate a RSI bot for a brief moment until the log shows a error. If the error is shown de-activate the RSI bot to prevent unwanted sales. The error in the log will show you a minimum profit value. ..."

I´m not getting the Error with the profit value. Probably i´m doing something wrong. What could it be?
I tried it on BTC-e and Bitstamp too. Same on both. When I start the Program the safetys are filled automaticly with some equal values, that´s normal, right?

thx in advance
Greg

Very basic how to if anyone needed help.

1. Set Profit to 0
2. Set desired trade amount. (Change Current position to Bought or Sold accordingly).
3. Enable the RSI bot.
4. As soon as you see the Warning message regarding profit, disable the bot immediately.

What you see in the warning message is the minimum amount of profit for your desired trade amount.
You can then take this number, round it and times it depending on market movement.

Thanks for answering Mogumodz!

The procedure you describe is correct, that is how it works. The error message is just to notify you that you do not earn enough to cover the exchange costs.

Remember the profit you enter is a minimum amount before a trade is allowed by the bot, the trade bot itself will time the momentum. So in conclusion you will be making more then you set at the profit level.

thank you Mogumodz,

now even I understand it - and it works

Feature request: option to enter target profit and minimum drop values as ratios of trade minimum. I would like to be "all in" without having to manually scale my expectations.

Can you please explain your request a little more? I do not really get what you are trying to explain here.

I think what he is trying to say is to make the minimum drop and profit values work in percentage. This way the bot calculates the currency minimum drop and profit values automatically for different currency pairings using the same percentage set.

Can you please explain your request a little more? I do not really get what you are trying to explain here.

Your instructions say to force an error to find the minimum trade value and them multiply that value by a number between 6 and 12. I would like to simply enter a 6 or 12 (or 2 or 7.4 or whatever) so it will auto-scale and I won't need to periodically recalculate a fixed dollar profit threshold as the money being traded increases.

[Stephan224]

Thanks, i understand what you mean now.

At this moment i am working on version 0.9 and with that version i want to improve these things. This is what i have right now to make it easier to use:



This way the usage of the calculation is eliminated. The values are 1:1 on the currency chart at version 0.9.

Edit: I can have a look to set then based on %.

Hi Stephan,

Taking advantage of this enhancement, It is useful to use for reference the percent profit or loss. For instance you know 122.8 to 122.9 increase is not the same percent as 82.8 to 82.9 increase. Please, could add in this version, by target buy price box and target sell box,  numbers showing the percent profit relative to the values? Thanks

[Stephan224]

I can change it to a percentage -input instead of a static input. Is this what everybody wants?

I for one would like the addition of a percentage for the profit gain next to the target buy/sell boxes.
Not so much removal of one of the other.

Stephan,

Just letting you know that I'm trying to purchase your bot, but no email yet.  4 confirmations in the blockchain so far after an hour.  Just curios how many confirmations do you need to see before the email is sent and hoping that the order isn't cancelled because it's been more than an hour.  Thanks.  Looking forward to giving it a shot.

[Stephan224]

@compcentral:
It seems your order has been approved hours ago. If you login again to my website and go to your account page you should see the download link to the software.

@Mogumodz:
Do not worry yet about the coming changes. I will post a screenshot of the new interface very soon and everybody will be free to comment on it. Features like the % can be added without an problem and i do not simply replace stuff (i should not have said that) if just one of 2 people ask for it. It needs to be usefull and clear to the end-user of course.

Tonight i will disclose a little more about version 0.9 that i am working on.

[compcentral]

Thanks, I was expecting an email to let me know that it was available but I never received one.  I do see the download link on the site now though so all is well.  I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but I'm excited to do so later tonight.

A little update on the development of version 0.9

As you maybe know already (or not) i am adding Camp BX and Crypsy to the Simple Trade Bot. I hope i will make it in time to get them into version 0.9 so maybe they can come a little later.

I will refresh and update the entire interface. I am trying to make things more easy to use and i am trying to give better insight with graphs/charts.

For more safety i am adding a drop-loss -safety to the software.

The Trade Ratio Bot will be deleted. The calculation methods does only work for BTCe and not for any other exchange. Instead i will replace it by a MACD indicator (based on SMA or EMA) and a second new indicator called a Rate Of Change or ROC. It is a simple but very effective indicator.

For anybody expecting to see screenshots... i am sorry but i do not post them yet. The changes i have described are not all the changes that i will introduce. No, i have stated that i will try to raise the bar on automated trading and so i will. I am saving the best coming changes for last!

Release plan
Version 0.9 is targeted to be released around the end of the September or in the beginning of October. The first release will be as a Alpha version. This version will be tested for 1 to 2 weeks for bugs or problems. The alpha version will be made availible on request for  all registered users of the software.

As soon as i have collected all the issues i will proceed to solve the bugs. As soon as everything is done the software will be made available as an Beta version as usual.

Current version
Version 0.8.x is stable and i will continue to support that version as long as version 0.9 is in alpha stage.

So if I buy version 0.8 do I get all updates : 0.9 ect too?

[Stephan224]

Of course.

I recently added some schemes to explain how the logic of my simple trade bot has been build up. If you are intrested in my software i recommend to take a look at these documents, this gives you a better understanding how i programmed the bot(s) and how the reasoning is done in detail.

www.haasonline.com/downloads/CheckProfitSafety.pdf

www.haasonline.com/downloads/RSITradeLogic.pdf
www.haasonline.com/downloads/HighLowBotLogic.pdf
www.haasonline.com/downloads/PollLogic.pdf

I will add more documents in time. For now i have to help some people getting started with the software.

Are these PDF's still available?

[enki74]

Can I run this on another computer say to trade btce on one and cryptsy on another?
