Thanasis sir,
Since volume for the btc/eth pair has go way up in Poloniex, have you consider writing a bot for it? Or do you recommend any of the ones you already have (maybe composer)? Which settings would be the best.
Thanks

For those who love manual trading, these prices levels are of extreme importance.

These are actually both - support and resistance lines.

How is v7.2 of the speculation going? I am trying it out. I am in the red at the moment but am hoping for a profit soon.

Another question - when an update comes out, do I need to stop the bot, update it, and then start it again? Or just leave it running and update it?

Is it recommended or not to use a tick offset on the Speculator Pro? Maybe a 5 minute offset? I am seeing losses, wondering what I can do.
Thanks

By the use of any offset you can differentiate the boy from the live instances of other users, so generally speaking it will be better.

I would like to send out a strong warning for anyone thinking about using Thanasis bots, specially the Margin Speculator Pro. From early January until now the bot is down over 60%. Over at Cryptotrader people are getting frustrated with the bot and seriously questioning it and if its worth the 40$ it cost per month. Thanasis way of dealing with the criticism is just saying "if you don't like it, don't rent it" and "I feel that you are bullying me"
Here are some of the recent comments over at cryptotrade:
Seriously, MSPro is going short on the lowest price and long on the highest price. It's doing the complete opposite.
Thanasis will probably say some bullshit like "You will see a loss of 20% in the beginning" or "You've done manual trades", which I didn't
2016-02-06 09:00 Thanasis Margin Speculator Pro: ♠♠ Efficiency (8 days) ||| B/H: -1.42% ||| Bot: -26.97%
I'm -60% on MSPro. Most people are lucky. MSPro is shit. It needs 120% profit before break even. People still extending MSPro, but I would highly suggest not to.
2016-02-05 22:30 Thanasis Margin Speculator Pro: ♠♠ Efficiency (5 days) ||| B/H: 1.93% ||| Bot: -10.06% at this rate i wont be renewing my sub to MSP for a 3rd month. last month was a loss and this isnt starting out well either.
Well I lost money with the MS Pro bot today. It could have sold at $100 profit but instead sold at -$250. Hmm
Be careful...

You are right, the results are very negative at the moment.
Few things to add yet : - We saw a pike over 500$ last month. Each time a pump happens, the bots are catastrophic the months later. It was the same with best bots in early 2014. - I don't know manual traders doing well in January on BTC. There are surely, but on alts instead. - Statistically, it is higly likely to have a losing streak at any moment. Even the best and more profitable strategy will never prevent a losing streak, and with leverage the drawdown is always high. - Many, many people rented the bot, and the bot is managing hundreds if not thousands of BTC. And only bitfinex, which is not the biggest market. That is the main problem for me. The crowd cant't win. Otherwise, where comes the money ? - As a rule, don't rent a bot if you can't backtest on ANY EXCHANGE or PAIR ! It could be historically overtuned (even when honestly based on effective indicators) and you can't control and need to have confidence. I rented MSP as an option, not the main bot for my money !
It is obvious that Thanasis is a very good developper and has made open source and free bot for years. But the bot is overcrowed. I am using another Thanasis bot (Strategy Composer) with basic indicators and it had unexpected good results (+30% after borrowing on okcoin.cn). The difference is nobody used it. If tomorrow everybody chooses the second best bot on the market, the results will be catastrophic (even if every dev always answers that their bot can support many instances).
The conclusion stays the same : it is a very important loss, which will be very difficult to break-even, and nobody can tell which bot will perform best next month (trend, scalp, sideways...) The choice to extend the subscription is personal or a money management strategy.

hey there, what is the estimate for the monthly profit of this solution? Do you offer some kind of help desk? Do I need to know how to program? I'm a complete newbie when it comes to trading
