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

[gujo82]

One other thing is I'm using the beginner license which has limited functionality. I'm hoping once I upgrade to the simple license that with the dynamic drop-loss and roof safeties I won't ever have to adjust it. Just let it do its thing and watch the profits.

Ahh i see. So the "trade now" part is only really another frontend for trading directly on each exchange? I have only setup 2 bots sofar, with the percentage earning and avoid fee parameters (using advanced license), but sadly experience with cryptsy is what it is.. it wont cancel orders after the timeout is passed 

The buy/sell now buttons are simply to put in an instant order on the exchange.

I have 2 bots setup as well (2 max on beginner). One trades on Bitstamp and then other on BTC-e. Both seem to work well for me so far.

Right right Have only tried on btc/altcoins sofar, but perhaps i should give btc/usd a try also.

Seems its not possible to use bitfinex currently, server says API is connected but balance still shows 0

So I just purchased the upgrade from the beginner to the simple license. However the website under My Account still shows the license key for the beginner license. What do I need to do to get the upgrade to the simple license version?

[bigdave]

I'm curious what everyone's opinion is... what trade indicators do you like the best?

@Stephan,

I just created an account on Bitfinex and attempted to setup a trade bot with the API keys before my BTC deposit hit (so I had a 0 BTC & USD balance) and when I tried to save the API keys in the trade bot software it would throw a connection error. However once the deposit hit it accepted it and saved it. Just fyi...

[bigdave]

I apologize if it seems like I'm spamming but I've run into another issue. My 0.02BTC deposit on Bitfinex has gone through and I have setup the API keys and put them into the trade bot software. When I entered the API keys it said the connection was successful. However when I try to setup a trade bot for Bitfinex it does not read my current BTC balance nor my USD balance. I would expect it to show 0.02BTC and 0.00USD. In the debug messages window it keeps throwing Trade amount cannot be calculated ....

I noticed on Bitfinex site they only require 3 confirmations for BTC deposits however now it has been more than 6 confirmations.

Any ideas?

hi,
Is there any ammount in the "bought invested side" "sold side" ? if so you may need to manualy set the bot coin position to -bought or sold- in order to get it to start. If you have 0 $ in your account but the bot is trying to buy with $ then you might get that message I think.

It is showing 0 on the bought and sold side. However the website shows I have a BTC balance of 0.02BTC. I have tried changing the coin position to both bought and sold and that did not cause it to update.

I've also noticed that if I go into the haasbot web interface and configure the API keys for Bitfinex that once I submit the query it shows as connected on that page.

However if I go to Server Information it only shows Bitstamp and BTC-e as connected APIs.

Here is the log output with debug turned on when I enter my Bitfinex API keys:

Ok... I figured out my problem. I had to move my bitcoins from my trading wallet to my exchange wallet. Now the balances are showing up correctly.

I'm such an idiot... 

[krach]

ah ok, got it.
Yea bitfinex is a bit more complcated than most exchanges.

[bigdave]

Quick question, with the bot settings does a limit order or market order truly reflect the currect market price? Is it better to use market order to truly get the high/lowest market price at the time of order?

[krach]

Advantage of the limt order: exact price
Disadvange of the limit order: might be slow to fill

Advantage of the market order: fast
Disadvantage of the market order: might be at a higher or lower price than expected


imho: stick to limit orders first, when you have mastered that then try out market orders with small ammounts.

BitStamp problems:

- I have open order on BitStamp. I set on bot amount "All-in" and in sum is included open order amount too. How do I correct this? Solved: Used % value. Is this only solution for BitStamp?
- BitStamp trading does not work. Api is connected, but in debug log there is no data of prices. Backtradig gives me horizontal line... no trading. What should I do? Solved: created new api with only essential permissions

Does anybody here successfully use Haasbot with Kraken? Or Cex.io ?
Both do not work for me.

I cannot connect to CEX Api and i do not get prices/charts from Kraken.

i'm having the same issue with Kraken. Version 0.9.9.9 changelog states that Kraken is supported in beta stage...

I can connect to CEX, and it works fine for a few hours to 1 or 2 days. Then, CEX tracking stops while other APIs continue to work fine. I have to restart HTS to get CEX to work again...

There is something I can't understand, where the risk is ?

If I programed the bot to buy btc with lowest sell price and sell for highest buy, then where is the risk ?

We can't predict what the market is going to do. That is the risk.

The market price of bitcoin fluctuates.

[joshraban76]

I know, then where is risk if I've given the bot for a time of 24 hours for example to buy low sell high ?

I can't get, really sorry.
