Hi litepresence,
What percentage of your holding are you putting on this bot?
Do you recommend running this with some offset, especially since you've already got $250k combined on this?
How does this bot deal with placing and cancelling orders if they aren't taken?
How would you rate this bot compared to your past/present bots?
Do you have any other bots you are running that is doing well?
My experience is very limited and even tuning is a bit of a challenge for me since I'm not a market analyst and rarely get time to spend on this. I'd be happy to pay the 20% on profits, but I'll be careful with how much I give the bot to trade with.
Hope to hear from you!
Thanks
RED DRAGON is an a 15m adaptation of
https://cryptotrader.org/topics/494491/litepresence-1m-long-wave-ema-cross-w-bid-size
tuned to "red dragon" phase of June 2013:

I'm all in on RED DRAGON. 100% fiat with the bot running my decisions overnight. I watch charts by day with the bot live.
The bot mostly does NOTHING,
RUNNING THIS BOT YOU ARE MAKING THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE MARKET WILL FALL.
It holds fiat holds fiat holds fiat holds fiat....
unless of course a BIG dip occurs...
In which case it starts to spend 25% of your remaining balance on every 15 minutes until you're bought in; just like my open source 1m long wave.
Everything is adjustable and intuitive:
Here is the User CP:
#>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
# RED DRAGON - USER CONTROL PANEL
#>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
init: (context)->
context.BUY = -0.125 # % below long to buy
context.SELL = 0.02 # % above long to sell
context.SELL_min = 1 # if less than this many BTC sell all
context.BUYp = 0.25 # % of fiat to spend each tick
context.SELLp = 0.25 # % of crypto to dump each tick
context.BUYt = 870 # seconds of timeout on buy orders
context.SELLt = 870 # seconds of timeout on sell orders
context.EMAs = 5 # short EMA
context.EMAl = 240 # long EMA
context.bottom = 0.89 # depth of bottom for limit buy orders
#>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
You could hedge losses by running multiple instances of the bot. Lets say you wanted to run three instances:
A)
context.BUY = -0.125 # % below long to buy
context.SELL = 0.02 # % above long to sell
B)
context.BUY = -0.12 # % below long to buy
context.SELL = 0.0175 # % above long to sell
C)
context.BUY = -0.115 # % below long to buy
context.SELL = 0.015 # % above long to sell
And reduce the
context.BUYp = 0.25 # % of fiat to spend each tick
context.SELLp = 0.25 # % of crypto to dump each tick
of each to
context.BUYp = 0.0833 # % of fiat to spend each tick
context.SELLp = 0.0833 # % of crypto to dump each tick
so each instance could only spend 1/3 of what the original bot could spend per tick.
Of course all of this is infinately tunable... but when dealing w/ a larger bank you want to take time to consider your actions and market impact wisely.
Each bot could then be offset from each other; A)1 minute B)6 minutes C)11 minutes ; for example using CT.org's offset feature.
Now assuming you gave all three bots 100k usd total to spend no one bot would have the power to place a very big bid at all and you would be "sponging" the bottom quite effectively rather than placing a lump sum bid on the books.
The largest bid the bots would place at any one time given the "retune" mentioned above w/ 3 instances would be $8300 every 5 minutes.
I hope all of this makes sense. I built this bot with the shortcomings of the 3X LTC bot in mind regarding its tendency to drown larger banks in its own wake.
The bot keeps all orders on the books for 870 seconds (14:30 of a 15m candle) before canceling and reordering. It will never spend more than 0.25 of your remaining bank in one candle as factory tuned.
I would rate this bot "well thought out" relative to my 3X LTC release... which really was just a "promo" to get people excited about bot trading at CT.org. Most of my other work... and the work of most open source at CT.org has been focused on bots that work in ALL circumstances. The critical flaw in this theory is that we are only given 250 tick of data to work with at CT.org and its difficult to code a bot which senses long movements, yet makes accurate trades in a short sense. The "red dragon" phase of the bubble; June 2013 has consistently proven most difficult. So, I designed this bot specifically for a "final bounce" scenario... which every other BTC bubble has taken:
