Can you explain in very simple terms what the program does, exactly?
Most of the time it does absolutely nothing... just like you should be doing right now. HOLD FIAT. In this stage of a bubble price "slides" over a hillside... most of the trade worthy volatility is lost because we're so far from the peak of the bubble in time... margins are tight and its difficult to profit on day trades. So you sit in fiat and wait... At some point that slide will accelerate... Check you 12h charts MA's 5 15 30 120, to see what I'm talking about. When it accelerates the price will drop low enough to trigger the bot from its slumber...
At which point it will begin buying every 15 minutes... machine gun style... It will spend 25% (adjustable) of your remaining balance on every 15m tick until you are totally bought in. Then it waits for the bounce... which in this stage of the bubble should take about 48 hours to materialize. At which point it does the opposite... dumping 25% of your crypto holdings every 15 minutes. I programmed it to buy and sell in pieces so many ppl could run the same bot and not interfere with one another. or someone w/ large bank could run it without "drowning" in their own wake... Using the CT.org offset feature to offset the tick count by 1 to 14 minutes from the close of the 15m period also helps in this regard.
Here is a zoom in of what happens on the "first bounce" this is a backtest of June 9th buy in and June 11th sell; note how it "paints" with multiple buy and sell points, all limit ordered at the line "short" or better; there are additional limits placed on the bot... note during the buy in when there is a brief bounce... it pauses for a moment before continuing to collect.
of course a steady hand and nerves of steel could make you much more $$ on the whiplash in between... but the safe bet is buy low once and sell high 2 days later... and that's what this bot does. All logic is based in ema divergence.
My expectations...
Down to 650, back up to 725, then down to 500.
Of course the bot will nail these ranges better than I can extrapolate because it has live data.
but... once it buys "650" and offloads "725"... the bot will sit silent again for another 10-20 day period of time holding fiat... the "june 2013 slide" is not over... process will repeat...
In page 4 of this thread I posted the "stages of a bubble" and a second chart (which I drew) that shows the stages of "the backside of the bubble" in more detail. The bot is designed to hold fiat during "red dragons phase I" then capitalize on "purgatory" w/ 10% gain... then buy the bottom of "red dragons phase 2" as price returns "to the hive"
It will buy in within 1 to 2% of the absolute bottom... which I expect to be about $500... then begin its offload cycle again in 48 hours.
Once it buys that bottom you should TURN IT OFF. Before it offloads your crypto for another 10% gain... If you look back in time... July/August 2013 were quite bullish periods where the best move was just to hold crypto for 2X your money if you bought the bottom on July 8th.
The bot runs under the expecation that price is ALWAYS sliding... and dead cat bouncing. This isn't true in a "long term" sense for bitcoin... but it is true on the short term as BTC price "returns to the long mean" of 0.6% daily.
Hope this helps!
