[Passed] NuPond Term 5 Fixed Cost Motion

[Nagalim]

no shift? Your settings are actually tighter than normal. Still, I’m not sure why you’re having that problem. Anything in the logs?
I’m going to be upgrading a bunch of stuff later today, there will be a server restart (a bit more than just a restart hopefully).

[huafei]

set shift=-0.002 now

[Nagalim]

Ok, would you mind deleting shift from the config file and trying that? This will result in a vanilla bot with an SAF of 0.6% instead of 1%.

[mhps]

I just got the latest alpcollectiom git update.

I don’ t see the price update messsages i used to see in teh log file and I get

WARNING: unable to update BTC price from bitfinex

my walls don’t seem to move unless I restart client.py

config has

deviation = 0.0025

what does it mean? if feed price is away by 0.25% then move the wall?

What is the tolerance? 1% ?

[Nagalim]

Everything you’ve said is correct. I haven’t changed anything about how the bot updates the price from bitfinex, so I’m surprised you get that with alp-collection and not with the other branches.
If the bot is not updating price properly, that would explain the issues @huafei is experiencing.

[huafei]

WARNING: unable to update BTC price from bitfinex

this is network issues

[mhps]

WARNING: unable to update BTC price from bitfinex

this is network issues

How come the price are updated if I use an older version (client.py downloaded Jul 17 size 25228) ?

[Nagalim]

Can you please confirm that your price updates using this:

inuitwallet/nu-pool

and not this:

Nagalim/alp-collection

[mhps]

yes.

[Nagalim]

The only difference between the utils.py in those branches is these lines, which I removed:

#TODO remove this line when not testing
self.logger.info(“set btc as we’re testing”)
self.feed[‘btc’][2] = 273.86

Other than that, my utils.py is identical to @woolly_sammoth.

The line that calls that goes like this:

userprice = PyBot.pricefeed.price(self.unit)

It is also identical between our directories. You are using both softwares on the same bter pool and the inuitwallet one works and mine doesn’t? That’s so strange because I really didn’t change the code there at all.

[mhps]

I did a diff and see that utils.py in these two versions are identical. I suspect it’s the logics elsewhere that result in the non-moving wall. The unable to update line is something on the side.

[Nagalim]

The only way you could get that error is if you got an exception from your query to the bitfinex server.

[mhps]

I am reading the code. accessing https://api.bitfinex.com/v1//pubticker/btcusd is no problem. So that warning line was incidental and irrelevant.

[Nagalim]

Ok, so what’s the current issue? @huafei had an issue with tolerance that I’m still not comfortable with, but do you @mhps experience any outstanding problems? What are the symptoms? If you set a small deviation, does the bot move the orders often?

bid order gone…

[Nagalim]

I don’t have an answer to this yet. If you can, please try https://github.com/inuitwallet/nu-pool using the same parameters (make sure you removed ‘shift’). Also, try decreasing ‘deviation’ a good bit (0.0005) to see if the bot replaces the orders often.

[zoro]

i am using verison 0.51 and i have seen the below random problems.

1. ocasionally placing of bid and sell sides of 0.5 NBT only!
2. no bid or sell amount accounted in INFO. amounts are set correctly in exchange.

these issues are the same in all ALPs!
I will try the new version now.

[Nagalim]

The newest fork is unstable (master branch is fine), I need to test it still. 1) is fixed by using the better restart, which I’ve reverted to in the new fork.

is your problem 2) the same problem as what @huafei is experiencing?

[zoro]

yes it is the same.
then i should wait and not try it yet?
(the pool.conf has only 2 optional parameters. interest and ordermatch )

[Nagalim]

Oh, you’re looking at Innuit wallet, that’s Sam’s fork. It’s very stable and accepts the deviation and offset parameters.
