Hi Sampey
Since yesterday, my CAT doesn't load the markets on Bitfinex anymore.
I've already tried from a new installation: - Start CAT - Login -> seems to work -> error message: Error loading exchange markets. Please Retry login.
- when I click on Login, its says: already logged in to Bitfinex.
How to solve?
Thanks
It may not be CAT's fault. Exchanges are often implementing changes to their APIs - and sometimes they don't work as expected. Send your error log to Sampey to examine it. I had issues with other exchanges too, sometimes they just get fixed after a while (which means the exchange found the error and corrected it) and sometimes Sampey needs to make an adjustment.

Where are you from? Bitfinex doesn't service US customers anymore. https://news.bitcoin.com/bitfinex-drops-us-customers/

Hi. I am a fairly new user to CAT and I have a question; why does the start qty and end qty not increase with 1% min gain? I'm trading on bitfinex where the fees are 0,1 on both buy and sell. Am I missing something here? Regards, l4r53n https://i.imgur.com/kLCTZ9K.jpg

You can set it to anything you want, however be advised that CAT might try to sell (or buy) at prices completely out of the market margins. My advise is to keep the default setting to be safe. CAT will try to trade at a price that will give you the maximum profit you can get, this setting only tells CAT to avoid trading below 0.6% (buy price + 0.6% = minimum sell price, it will try to sell over but never under this price).

Am I missing something here? Regards, l4r53n It tries to make sure enough funds will be available after paying fees. You can see the 1% gain after each cycle. Those coins end up added to your available balances after subtracting the 0.2% fees for Bitfinex. Your net gain is about 0.8% (minimum) after a ping pong is complete. There are settings that can prevent CAT from reducing the quantity: go to Generator & Parameters => Advanced

One step at a time.... Try understanding how each setting affects CAT's performance, it worths your time and efforts.

Nothing. CAT is not superior to Gunbot. Bots are totally different, they have different algorithms and fit different needs.

Wow, I thought trading bots are scam, but this one seems to be working perfectly and everyone reporting profits here! Personally I am not in favour of using trade bots, but I was curious to know that if someone got their account blocked for using this bot on any exchange?

exhcanges wants bot on their sites because more bot-> more trades->more fees. BUT of course you can get banned if you overflow the limit request. Limits are very different, they depends by exchange server capacity, you can go from 1 Call/sec to 10 call/sec. if your request are considered "spam" you can get a temporary ban. But it's very rare using CAT.

Thanks guys
Another quick question.
Currently im only trading LTC, seeing how it goes. I have like 2.5 coins in there. leaving profit at .6, is it better to create an order at a higher number like 1.5 (buy/sell) or a smaller order like .5 (buy/sell) I have noticed at 1.5 there is much less transactions but bigger profit, will the smaller transaction amount lead to more trades and more profit or will it likely be the same?

There is a risk in setting the minimum profit percentage too high: market price might move away from this price while your bot is waiting for its orders to be fulfilled. With the default setting you get very small profit with each ping pong completed but it is safer. Of course the 0.6% is almost nothing after you subtract the 0.5% fees (for Bittrex i.e.). I think 1.5% is too high for this market (LTC/BTC on Bittrex). Try setting it to 0.8% first to see how it goes and go up gradually.

Sorry, that was my mistake. I meant that is the order size 1.5 coins or .5 coins per buy/sell not min % But I didn't realize that Bittrex took that much fee..that would explain why the balance never goes up
