Lazy trader - Automated crypto trading bot

in #crypto6 years ago (edited)

Welcome to the first blogpost about my experience with the GSMG automated trading bot.

This first post is written as an intro of the GSMG platform from a user perspective. This will include a 1-month test I have done since Binance trading is live. This post is both usefull for current users as for other people looking for ways to optimize crypto trading results without having to be an experienced trader with short nights.

To shortly introduce the bot; it is an optimized long term buy-low sell-high algorithm where the user stays in control of their own funds, and the machine can only read trade information and place limit orders.

The bot is fully automated, yet the user has to choose their own markets and set the allocation percentage of funds for those selected markets. Which means the maximum percentage of your available funds to be put to work for a selected market. Every market on both Binance and Bittrex can be traded by the GSMG algorithm. The bot never sells for a loss, so choosing markets solely on an active chart is not fitting the long term strategy of the platform.

In the past 14 months, the team has also released some advanced settings, which will be covered in a future post. The most important ones are trading aggression and minimal trade profit %. The default setting is a fairly conservative strategy, which is highly recommended for the first experience with GSMG. All of these extra advanced settings create the opportunity to use the platform as a trading tool instead of a fully automated bot, as it is intended. When using the platform, you are not able to trade manually on the exchange.

The GSMG crew and the community are always available for questions, and are very helpful & patient in answering. The team members will not be advising any markets or settings to use. Also advice from the community, is solely at your own risk. Pick markets that you trust in the long-term. Be sure to do as much as FA (fundamental analysis) before choosing markets. Share your findings and start discussion about the market selection and approach with other users of the platform, this will certainly increase the chances of good results. The bot will do all the TA (technical analysis) needed, it will use more than 120 indicators and will re-evaluate it's positions every 15 minutes.

The platform runs on “fuel”, this is an Ethereum wallet that is bound to your account of the platform. As a new user you start with 0.15 ETH worth of fuel to be able to try the bot out for free. Fuel is only deducted after making profits from completed trade pairs. The commission deducted is 25% of the achieved profits per completed trade pair and are post the exchange fee.

This cashflow will be used to pay for operational costs of the platform and in the future to pay the salaries of the GSMG team. I say in the future because the current revenue is far from sustainable to be able to keep upgrading and compensate the team of 8 people currently working on the platform.

Here are the links to the platform and their help center (manual & documentation)

I started using the platform after I followed it for about 4 months, which was at the peak of the market, on 17/01/2018 to be exact. I started very small, and slowly deposited more funds as I got more understanding of the bot and trust in the team & product. This is what I would advise everyone. At that time, I had no clue what trading methods are and how to approach any market. I'm also a pretty stubborn, optimistic and naive one. You can imagine what my first months of results were....

Since summer of 2018 I feel like I know the system well, and have been intensely active in the community.

During the first weeks of Binance trading Due to very positive results I have shared lots of experiences in the community, and got even more requests for information, tips and tricks. So, how did my 1st month of Binance trading go? I started on 15 December (deposited multiple times in 14-26 December). Here is a small overview of my analysis of the trade history on Binance.

Be warned, these results have exceeded my expectations by a long shot. The strategy is optimized for the long term, and there will not be unlimited consecutive green months. As a disclaimer, all my analyzed markets have screenshots from Tabtrader below. The application is currently available for Android and highly recommended for monitoring the bot in a visualized manner.

WABIBTC

LOOMBTC* succesfully experimented with an advanced setting; minimal sell price

SNMBTC*The wick actually had about 30 buys in it. Tabtrader was bugged somehow.

SNMETH

WABIETH

LOOMETH

KMDETH *Just 25 days of trading (insane volume!!) negatively experimented with advanced setting; minimal sell price (the long buy streak with no sells)

ARKETH

This post is in no way sponsered by the GSMG team. (well these mad profits last weeks made me wanna give back :D)

Please leave any remarks, feedback, tips or tricks. I am planning on making new posts, also with screenshots of excel analysis and from Tabtrader.

Thanks for sharing @boshugo96 . Hoping to see more in the future. Ill read more from the links you shared

Awesome! Definitely worth your time :)
I will post a next blog in a few weeks. Somewhere in February!

Do you have any tips, tricks or other feedback for my next post? I am very unexperienced in writing blogposts & I see you have an active profile on this platform :)

Also signed up to test it out

Cool! Be sure to start slowly, that way you can enjoy the trial fuel longer and you will have better understanding if you are able to test for a few months. Atleast a month of testing before tweaking any settings would be my advice!

Regarding other bots, I have tried some, but havent been really impressed by any other bot. However I am not knowledgable enough to write a post about them! As I wrote, I followed this bot for 4 months, then started using it, and have used it for over 12 months. This made me confident enough to be able to inform others about GSMG!

You can find hundreds of bots in this group; https://t.me/CryptoTradeBots
its mostly for the development of bot, but they need testers ofcourse :D

Joined the group. Thanks a lot

Made it GSMG's Twitter - Congrats

This article was very interesting, maybe you can share more info on other bots or financial tools you use. I just post whatever comes to mind when I'm free . As far as more success on steemit goes; read the Shark School series by @yallapapi

Amigo que monto fue lo que invertiste?

He escuchado que no requiere inversión.

Puedes ver la cantidad que invertí en la captura de pantalla de Excel.

El bot requiere fondos, mínimo 1 eth o 0.1 btc por mercado.

How much trades do you make on average?

That is hard to say. Last few months have been very insane, with about 1500 completed trades per week. However some sells that have just come in took about 6-8 months to get sold. In the bearmarket I was really happy with 100 trades on 1 day.
