Does anyone know if BTC-e is having issues crediting accounts? Is this a common problem? It's making me not want to trade on there now... I've left 4 support tickets, and I get the auto-close message after a few days. @stephan224 Any support staff you can lean on? ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

It's not the bots fault you got your settings not properly set up. I got it on 450 sec., 95% and if has not failed me yet. @Stephan; is there any update in relation to the BTCChina API-problems?

Just be careful and keep an eye on drop loss folks. Depends on the market...I think some other bots might try exploit drop loss also. Apparently, you have to do a small manual transaction on BTC China before the API will work.

My problem is a bit more complicated. Trading works, some of the times. Things I have done so far: - BTC deposit - BTC/CNY trade - CNY/BTC trade - Created API - Waited 48h - Created a second API - Removed 2-way authentication (just for testing purposes) - Double checked all my STB settings ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) When I enter my API credentials it gives me back the 401 error. But when I save them my wallet info is loaded properly. It refreshed the market data correctly, only buying and selling is rarely possible.

Haven't tried it yet. Intend to, to avoid the fees ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Makes you wonder if they're prioritizing IPs or maybe its just overloaded when China is awake...must be a hell of a lot of users on there. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Not all orders sent to Bitstamp by bot are really executed/accepted by exchange.
Bot wants to execute Buy/Sell, but I can't see it in Open Orders and in Debug log is written:
(amount) coins sold for a price of (x) and bought before for (x) making total profit of (y) Order accepted, received id: 0 Trying to sell the coins...
When id is 0 no order is received by exchange, sell and buy prices in this example are same.

@miaoux: I and a partner of mine are the support staff. And we have seen your messages of course, but the API of BTCe is working normally. What do you want us to do for you? If you enter the API credentials correctly and if you set the rights properly it just should work.
@kalross: The feezing issues will be solved, i am working on a new project with support multi-threading and trading. In time i will again update all the simple bot users to this new interface. So improvement is coming, but it will take me at least a month to be ready for realease.
@mevius: If you set your drop-loss price to 97% and the buy prices begint to drop 2% the drop-loss will kick in. This is as designed. The recommandation of 98% or 95% is just a number. You need to look how much the currency is changing to ensure the 98% will not be hit, unless there is a coin value crash.
@baros008: No all the exchanges are giving back an ordernumber when you place an order. If you see errorcode -1 something is wrong for sure, but at 0 i am not really sure. The best recommandation i can give you is just to lower the trade-amount a bit. It helpend me in the past a lot of times.

Stephan: Look forward to the new interface. Regarding drop loss...I have seen a market today where somebody makes an artificially low value trade (on a flat lining market) which can trick drop loss into activating. Then the currency rises. It's quite difficult at the moment to buy back in quickly and that is the issue I've been having and each time it happened I made a loss much larger than any profit. Maybe it is my settings...but I've benchmarked with many different ones and the only thing that just avoided it was to set to 85%-88% which is generally too low for safe and normal trading for me. Maybe if the drop trigger was smoothed...it would avoid these problems? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) I'm just reporting my observations really....maybe there is a better setting I could use...but I'm not sure.

I have seen this happen too, but if you look at the mathmatic/logic used there is no way to find out is this is a temponary drop or not. The software only sees the drop and reacts on it.
If you have a good suggestion i am of course happy to have a look it i can make it.

hello it is my first post on this subject and after 48h use of software. After some minor beginning problems solved activating 2 º Bot as suggested and do some trades I have a good opinion of this program. However I still doing some testing on drop-loss and today I got a fall on Bitstamp great enough to activate it but sell order was not finished My question ( because I don’t have found something in this thread) is how software handle is own open orders: When conditions are meet the bot does sell command ( as intended ) but what if due lag or something similar order is not finished? They will try again at lower price? If not can you add this feature to program?
Regards
@Stephan: Bot will retry open orders? Sugestion: Special configuration for bot to use it only for drop loss for current BTC value in wallet: *Rolling drop-loss value ( calculate it every minute and not every 300 seconds ) and optionally configurable time confirm drop loss situation ( until 2 minutes ) *safeguard: if in drop-loss mode sell order became an open order after in 1-2 minute clear it and retry again at current price level Regards

Maybe it doesn't work...But can you not smooth out temporary drops for the drop loss (like an interval on other indicators)?

@Stephan224 I meant BTC-E directly. You've spoken to them regarding the API and restrictions... I was hoping indirectly you could ask their support staff to answer the tickets I've left for them on https://hdbtce.kayako.com/It's not your job, and you have no link with them, but I was hoping they'd pay more attention to you than me ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

After a week of trading with the bot, I've made some good profits. The bot has already paid for itself. However, after playing with the indicators a few days ago, I seem to be trading less, and less profitably.
First question I have is do the indicators you select affect the Bot's behavior?
If so, can someone advise what indicators to use together for each of an aggressive, moderate and conservative trading approach?
The reason I ask is several times now, the Bot has bought and the price has climbed very nicely. But when the price comes down, the Bot doesn't sell, and eventually it goes below my buy price. Sometimes this happens over an 8-18 hour stretch.
