This document provides an overview of algo trading crypto currencies using Gunbot trading bots. It discusses considerations for choosing coin pairs, strategies, costs, servers and monitoring bots. Specific strategies like GAIN, STEPGAIN, Bollinger Bands, and combinations are explained. Backtesting and demo of a BB+RSI strategy on BTC-LTC is shown. Resources for Gunbot, analysis tools, and support are provided.

3x Startup Founder, Currently CTO, Crypto and AI Enthusiast

3. Motivation
Skin in the game, ML, AI, HF?

4. Bots
● Gunbot
● Haasbot
● ProfitTrailer
● Cryptohopper
● Cryptotrader
● Gekko
So many more.

5. Bags.
Running a bot is a fragile dance - where you must do everything possible
to avoid collecting bags.

6. I Use Gunbot
So, most of the info here will be derived from experiences using it.

7. Planning the bot
Considerations
● Choose coin pairs
○ Research & Analysis
○ Exchange Daily Volume!!!!!!!!!!
○ Outlook
● Trading strategies
● Base currency (BTC/ETH) [warning warning]
● Cost (BTC/ETH) amount per trade
● Trading Balance = (((# Pairs) * 2{if DU}) * (Amount per
trade))
((8 * 2) * 0.005)= 0.08 BTC On Hand

8. Setting up a virtual server
Considerations:
● Server = Exchange Location (USA / EU / Asia)
● Performance
○ Micro and Small can struggle (v.3.2.2)
○ Medium handles it all (v.3.2.2 +)
● Cost vs. Return
○ Estimated server costs <= % of expected return of invested
BTC/ETH
● Operating System (Gunbot supports Linux, ARM,
Windows, OSX)

9. Trading Strategies
GAIN
STEPGAIN
BB (Bollinger Bands)
PP (Ping Pong)
TSSL (Trailing Stop / Stop Limit)
EMOTIONLESS / ICHIMOKU

10. Indicators
EMA
SMA
RSI
ICHIMOKU

11. GAIN
Buy and sell at price is determined by a
percentage above or below the EMA
for a specific period.
Ex: GAIN 2% will buy when price is 2%
below EMA, and sell 2% above.

12. STEPGAIN
Works the same as GAIN, but allows for
more profits at specific intervals.
If you set your STEPGAIN levels to...
BUYLVL1: 0.5%
BUYLVL2: 1.8%
SELLLVL1: 2.0%
SELLLVL2: 4.5%
… the bot will get ready to buy when the
price crosses -0.5% EMA (think Gate 1),
and if the price crosses -1.8% EMA it
will continue to wait until the trend
reverses, placing the buy order at or
better than -1.8% EMA.

13. Bollinger Bands are calculated using
the simple moving average + or - a
standard deviation of the price against
the simple moving average.
Plain English: BBs give you a good idea
where the price stands compared to its
near past prices. Is it currently
“relatively high” or “relatively low”?
The larger the height of the bands, the
more volatility in that time range.
Gunbot settings for BB are % from the
band. 100 setting on LOW is equal to
the HIGH band, vice versa.
BB (Bollinger Bands)

14. PP (Ping Pong)
Like it sounds, PP strategies are used
for predictable bounces between to
prices.
In the example on the right, if you set
Ping Pong to track between .062 and
.077, you would have made 3 buys and
2 sells, now holding one bag.
This strategy is very risky (given
volatility in crypto), but if use this be
sure to set your stop limits and manage
your risk!!!!

15. TSSL (Trailing Stop / Stop Loss)
This is the only setting I have yet to play
with, but will demonstrate setting up in
the next section of this chat.
The concept is that the stop limit loss
price is constantly updating along with
the current price, so you can effectively
capture pumps, and price gains, without
setting hard numbers (like in
STEPGAIN/GAIN).
See the graph to the right (from Gunbot
wiki)

16. Combinations
Any single strategy can be combined to create new buy/sell orders.
tsslbb, tsslpp, tsslstepgain, tsslgain, bbrsitssl, pptssl, stepgaintssl, gaintssl, bbtssl,
bbgain, gainbb, bbstepgain, stepgainbb, bbpp, ppbb, gainstepgain, stepgaingain,
gainpp, ppgain, stepgainpp, ppstepgain.
Get funky.
