the other question was just in regards to the market price going up or down. When a trade is done and it shows a gain on gain tab, is it possible that you still lost money because of the decrease or increase in the coin value during the trade?
of course, that's normal and not related to bot trading. Example I have 100 <COIN> and change price with BTC is 0.01 so i have 1 BTC in <COIN> Now i complete a ping-pong with 10% GAIN I Sell my 100 Coin at price X and rebuy them at price Y (using total amount of my first ping trade) so total is 110 <COIN> 10% Gain right? But bad luck for <COIN> and a crash occurs some times later (that has nothing to do with your trades) and change price now is <COIN>/BTC = 0.005 So now i have 110 x 0.005 = 0.55 BTC So my Gain using CAT is 10 Coin but my estimated portfolio value is lower than before.

Thank you I understand that one now, Basically, with the static and dynamic, are you referring to the ping type drop down box on the Ping order creator? OR on the Presets drop down box and picking default Static , then for pingPong mode choosing Static instead of Normal which one do i select?

Usually (when you don't create order) orders are STATIC when algorithm is static and Dynamic when algorithm is dynamic. In other words fixed buy/sell price or dynamic ping price and dynamic pong price (with constraint of % gain over ping reference price). BUT customers ask me about the function to change type of an order from STATIC to DYNAMIC and vice-versa So, when order is static (because you force that value) inside Dynamic mode, that order won't be recalculated.

Hi Guys,
Couple of quick questions. I have noticed that my CAT will create orders maybe like 6-8 transactions in the gains tab and then it will just sit with open orders for 24 hours or more with no activity. I have to then delete the open orders and redo the Ping/pong creation. Any idea why its doing this?
Also, I notice my balance is consistently decreasing in BTC , I am only trading LTC or bitcin cash. Is this because the value of BTC is rising or am I loosing money on each transaction with buying and selling levels?
Thank you
Hi, if your gains tab have a positive value, that value is the mathematical gain that occurs after a ping-pong is complete. The general BTC portfolio value is something else : it's the simple conversion of all your asset expressed in BTC (considering the last market price of any asset). That value can decrease or increase even if you're not trading. About the open orders : probably these orders are pong, you must read the log to understand the reason why they are sitting in order book. Usually an order is "frozen" inside the order book when market value goes away from the minimum value useful to let you have your gain %. So Cat will wait until that value is reached. Sometimes have a stop loss could hep you restart a ping-pong cycle and minimize loss. Your right, it is getting frozen on the Pong, how do i setup the stop loss to help this? Thanks again, sorry for the questions

you can set a SELL ALL or BUY ALL (depending by the pong type) with condition like "XXXX ALL IF % With REFERENCE PRICE IS < -X" Where -X is for example 5 : if the difference with current book orders price and the reference price (the ping trade price) is < -5% (ex -6) it means that market trend is going opposite the side that allows you to have a gain. So a stop loss will be triggered and you will loss near 5% but no more. Take care with stop loss because sometimes markets are very volatile and a +10% / -10% could occur in some minutes.....

The past days it was very slow to login with C.A.T. to YoBit. Today it got even stranger:
The login screen shows: Welcome Back ... Login Successful On YoBit However, the window: "Initialize Environment. Please Wait." doesn't stop! An attempt to close it, results in two choices: Quit Program or continue to wait. In order to be able to trade on other exchanges I had to restart the program without YoBit.

I just got interested with trading bots. Would you say that C.A.T Bot is a beginner friendly bot that can be used by someone that is not an expert at trading eighter? I know the basics and terminology, but I am not very familiar with reading chart patterns etc.

Question, with dynamic ping / sell price target 0.00001200 current market price is 0.00001150, i do not wish for the ping to list my sell in the orderbook until after the price target has been met, i know that "always create pong orders from trades" option works this way for pong but is there also an option to prevent ping from placing trade orders until after the price target is met?

A problem on Stocks Api Exchange occurs : i don't know the reason but the API Markets tops returning HIGH/LOW market values. I will write a fix for 5.2 but i'm not sure i will continue support this api in the future....

Hi There! May I ask for some tips on how we can create a simple trailing stop project with C.A.T.?
Example: All funds are in USD and current BTC Price is 11000USD, but it is dropping. Only buy BTC when the drop stops (for example with trailing stop +2%). That means that it will only buy, if BTC price increases by 2% compared to lowest recorded value since project start.
With example values: 1. BTC Price: 11000 USD 2. BTC keeps dropping until 9000 USD (sometimes small increases, but never reaches 2% increase compared to lowest value since start) 3. BTC increases by 2% for the first time (compared to lowest recorded value since project start, which is of course 9000USD) -> 9180 USD 4. Bot makes BUY ORDER at 9180 USD. ...
Alternatively, set trailing stop to a constant of for example +200USD (instead of percentage, depending on your strategy). Same can apply for SELL strategy with -x% or -y constant value.
Since trailing stop is a popular (and simple) trading strategy, it is surely possible with C.A.T.? (I can imagine it combined with ping-pong strategy as well)
I'm sorry if I am missing something, I am still heavily learning and testing the bot.
Thanks, Adom

i plan to add trailing stops in 5.3 version. I've wrote some code in 5.2 that will help me obtain the trailing stops.

Hi All, Just wondering if many people are using the URL post feature. Do you know if there are there any free services that allow to post to the notification to a phone, for example?

Sampey I have a question.
Can I make a stepped STATIC buy order using the "ping creator advanced panel" and a "DYNAMIC selling/pong" and how? Thank you.
