Ping Pong Mode
Static ModeChoose a fixed price for Buy/Sell and C.A.T. will always Buy/Sell at these prices, without any adjustment.
Normal Mode-
Min % Guaranteed Gain. Is the minimal % of GAIN you want guaranteed from C.A.T. after a Buy-Sell/Sell-Buy operation. If this percentage is not guaranteed, C.A.T. will wait.
This Is The Only Mandatory Parameter-
Never Recalculate User Ping Orders : With this option Checked, C.A.T. will not try to recalculate orders inserted from the GUI by the user. Price of these orders will remain static.
-
Create Ping Orders Only If Market Spread % Is > X : With this option Checked, C.A.T. will create new Ping Orders (From the Buy/Sell Pool) only if the current % Spread Between best market prices is > X
-
Always Create Pong Orders From Trade : C.A.T., by default, tries to create your Pong Order on top of the sell/buy book order. If this is not possible (there's no % Gain Guaranteed) C.A.T. will retry later. With this option activated, C.A.T. will calculate the minimum price (TradePrice +/- %GAIN) and will create the order INSIDE the Order Book.
-
Never Buy/Sell Directly : with this option you will never buy/sell directly (your Price directly match an active order) and your orders will have 0.00000001 difference from the best Buy/Sell orders.
-
Check To Not Buy/Sell To Yourself : When you have Buy and Sell orders at the same time, after the price calculation, C.A.T. will check to not buy or sell to yourself. BUT in markets with 1 Satoshi difference between best buy/sell price, you must remove this option.
-
Skip Book Orders With Total < Than : With this option active, C.A.T. will not consider orders with a total amount lower than the parameter value.
-
Don't create ping with total < Than : After a successfull Ping-Pong the total amount of this order will be put in the "Buy/Sell Pool" and from the "Buy/Sell Pool" new sell/buy orders will be created. With this option activated you will limit the creation of "little orders". If the total in the "Buy/Sell Pool" is < than this parameter, then C.A.T. will wait.
-
Sell All If Price Goes Under (Works only for Sell Orders) : With this option activated C.A.T. will sell your order if the market price is too low. The sell price will be the best buy price currently available.
-
Sell All If % With Ref Price Is : (Works only for Sell+Pong Orders) : Each PONG order has a Reference Price (the Sell/Buy price of the Original Pong Order) C.A.T., during the algo process, calculates the % difference between the reference price and the current best Buy/Sell Orders. With this option activated you C.A.T. will decide to sell a Pong Order if the % calculated is too negative. A suggestion is to use value lower than -10%
-
Stop Ping Creation If Sell Value Is > : You can decide to Stop the Ping Order Creation if the Current Best Sell Value is too high. C.A.T. will restart Ping Order Creation if the Best Sell value returns to lower than your specified parameter.

-
Put % of Your <PrimaryCurr>/<SecondaryCurr> into buy/sell Pool Every Pool Lookup : This options will allow to add a % Of your Total Balance to the Buy/Sell pool every pool Lookup.
Ping Pong Dust Elements
-

-
Ping Trades is Dust if QTY is < X : A Trade from Ping will be flagged as "Dust" if his QTY is < X
-
Ping Trades is Dust if TOTAL (qty x Price) is < Min Total Market Orders (Qty x Price) : Min Total Market Orders is the Min Value allowed by a Market (usually it's an Exchange rule) to create an order. This means that if a Trade is under that value, C.A.T. will need to adequate the Trade to that minimum value to create a Pong Order. With this option activated you will consider the trade As Dust
-
Dust Elements are Discarded/Put Into BuySell Pool : with this option you decide what to do with a dust element.
Ping Pong Running Option
-
Exec a Lookup routine every X sec. : you can change this value to make C.A.T. lookup faster/slower than default value. Be careful with this value because some exchanges performs an ip-ban if too much calls happens in little time.

After that amount of minutes, C.A.T. will stop creating Buy/Sell Ping Orders and will stop creating PONG Orders of Buy/Sell Type (depending on your return currency chosen)
-
Stop Ping Creation after X Ping-Pong Completed : when option is active and market Ping-Pong completed is reached, CAT will not create new Ping Orders from the Buy/Sell Pool
Ping Pong Advanced Options
-
If Necessary, Adequate Order to Min Total (Qty*Price) : when option is active (by default is active) if the min-total value of an order is not reached (the Exchange will discard the new order request) CAT will adeguate the quantity to reach the minimum value to create an order.

-
Try to Stay Alone on Top Orders Book : With this options C.A.T. will always try to create your orders in the best position and alone with others orders
-
Never Recalculate Orders QTY during recalculation routine : By default C.A.T. use the TOTAL (QtyXPrice) original Amount to redetermine the new QTY after a new Price is Calculated. With this option you will have always the Same QTY even if Price will change.
-
Reduce orders to restore Qty by % before a creation retry : Usually when you have an order to restore, there's something that goes wrong during an order creation. Sometimes is a temporary problem, and sometimes you don't have enough funds (usually due to some fees rounding). With this option you can try to reduce the total amount before a new order creation call.
