Thanks for your response Thanasis!
I understand -- the way I'm using the bot, I should use Sideways Market. I switched and so far big gains (16%)
We're all good!
Here's some other suggestions (some expanded from hrh_fourtyseven):
Buying Manually - Sometimes I can catch the bottom of a dip using orderbooks or TA on the chart. I would like to "help" the bot by manually buying those dips. Right now when I do that the bot instantly sells that extra coin at market price (always at loss). Ideally, I could buy on the exchange and the bot would automatically create a sell order for it using the normal Net Profit settings. I know the bot wasn't meant for too much manual control, but this would help us make money more quickly.
Fuzzy Sell Orders - Right now the net profit is a fixed position (either manually input or calculated in optimal mode). Many times I notice the price climb to right below my sell order, then drop. In manual trading I would have still sold if the price was 0.01% below my target sell price. I suggest for the Net Profit field we can enter a range, i.e (3.4-5.0). In this example, if the price goes above 3.4% on an order, then the bot waits.... It doesn't sell until either the price starts to fall or the price goes above the upper limit (5.0%). That way I have the option to secure small gains, but also big ones if it keeps rising.
This could be done by setting the sell order to the high point (5.0%), and if the price goes above the low point (3.4%) watch it... If the price starts to fall, move that order to market price. If it keeps rising, it will hit the high sell order on it's own.
Freeing Funds doesn't count as a lost trade Currently if I tell the bot to sell my highest order at a loss if the price drops, it will do that, but that trade is not counted as "Lost" in the display. I think it should be. It would help me keep track of how I performed overnight.
Anyway, I appreciate your hark work on this great project!
