Optimal configuration
Hello, i have a noob question... i am a newbie
i am trying to use gdax with LTC\EUR config, but i don't understand why the bot is not doing any automatic trade, can you explain me that and help me to figure out an optimal config ?
i did several tests but noone is working, i reverted back to default config
i'd like to make this bot to trade very frequently with low width\size values
the only trade i've seen was when i initially installed it
Thanks
It's highly unlikely anyone is willing (or able) to tell you some set of parameters that are going to make you money, but I can tell you how to make it trade fast.
First, determine a Target Base Position for docker to aim for denominated in LTC. Let's say you're going with 3 LTC. Set your pDiv to something acceptable so that you stay solvent and can continue placing orders.
Set your width to .02 and your size to .01. Set mode to Top, and the bot will likely start placing buy orders (assuming you started with all EUR) to build up to TBP. To make that process faster you can change Trds to 2 and the /sec parameter to something like 3 seconds so that the bot will only stop accumulating positions if it is buying more than 2/3 times every 3 seconds (without an opposing sell) and even then only for 3 seconds. Checking APR can also aggressively balance you to TBP.
Those parameters will make it trade 'very frequently with a low width/size value' but I do not recommend them at all. You will probably lose money, only do this with a small amount to learn about market making/markets/trading/bots/whatever.
