Question 4

How to configure buy or sell state ?

Accepted Answer

This article explain Buy and Sell states parameters

Buy state

Order type

market: will open a market order. That means the bot will buy (or sell) at the market price when it will reach the state. In this case, we won't set a price so the price field is disabled.
limit: will open a limit order. In this case we set the price we want for the order (see field price bellow).

Trade

This field allow your to manage simultaneous positions. If you are not looking to open many positions simultaneously, you can leave the default selected value.

| A trade two orders: a buy then a sell OR a sell then a buy.

First: Open an order to close the first current trade. If there is no current trade, starts a new trade.
Open: Open an order to start a new trade.
Last: Open an order to close the latest current trade. If there is no current trade, starts a new trade.
All: Open an order to close each current trades (which ignore the volume field). If there is no current trade, starts a new trade.

Volume and Price

Volume: Quantity to buy or sell.
Price: For limit order, the price to buy or sell.

| Asset base on BTC/USD is BTC, asset quote is USD | On the exchanges, you always buy or sell the asset base. So you set the volume in the asset base.

With Botcrypto, you can set volume you want buy or sell in the asset of your choice.

Question 5

What are bot statistiques ?

Accepted Answer

This article is about the data displayed at the bottom left of the bot page.

They are about statistiques & performance analysis of the bot, useful to determine if a srtategy is profitable or not !

Bot stats

At the top we have the current bot balance. It's how much the bot has currenlty.

Then we have a graph with the gain evolution in time. It's the gain converted in the quote asset (i.e. EUR on BTC/EUR). The graph is green if the current gain is positive, red otherwise (meaning a loss).

Pending profits. It's the sum of trades not closed. It is deplayed in the quote asset.
Net profit. It's the sum of gain of all closed trades. It is deplayed in the quote asset.
Win rate. The percentage of closed trades with a positive gain. It's an important to check when you modify your strategy. You should try to maximize it.
Average profit. It's the mean of gain of closed trades. This parameter is strongly linked to the win rate. You should try to maximize it.

Click on "see more" to display more parameters.

You will see:

Initial volume. It's the total volume converted in the quote asset when the bot has started.
Current volume. It's the bot balance converted in the quote asset. This volume doesn't reflect fees that would be apply by the broker if you close the pending trading! So you can have a pending profit negative event if the **current volume
