Sticky: Poll: What do you want to see in Zenbot 3.6?

[carlos8f]

Greetings Zenbot users!

After a gazillion commits over the weekend Zenbot 3.5.x is fairly stable now. However there's much more Zenbot is capable of, and only so much time to implement it. I need help prioritizing!

• Auto-learn engine, to mutate trade params on the fly, simulate in parallel, and hot-reload better params into the runner?
• Simulation with date ranges?
• Generic default_trade.js usable with any exchange?
• Composable JSON configuration?
• More exchanges?
• Better support for EUR trading and other currencies
• Web UI for bot status or control?
• Email or text message on trade execution?
• New indicators such as MACD?
• Repair tool for backfilled data
• Improve the ROI for BTC?
• Improve the ROI for ETH?
• More altcoins support?
• Twitter integration?
• Performance?
• Documentation or guides?
• How-to videos?
• More "hint" or "help" notifications when executing commands?
• man page?
• Online docs for Zenbrain engine and API?
• Online docs for writing plugins?
• Example apps using Zenbrain for other purposes? (I have a web crawler and twitter bot built on earlier versions of Zenbrain)
• Backup or maintenance scripts?
• Additional commands? Utilities?
• Dockerfile?

Please comment below with what features you'd like to see in the next release, 3.6.0.

Cheers,
Carlos

• Generic default_trade.js (Exchange indipendent logic/strategy, abstract buy, sell, order_check)

[grigio]

• Simulation with data ranges Specify learning/simulation data range #40

[grigio]

• Composable JSON configuration 3.5.0 Config not found #36 (comment)

If it works properly, this would be great to have.

Definitely this:

I know this is a bit of specific request, but if I wanted to run this on multiple markets on the same exchange, I would set the trade amount to: default trade amount/number of markets. I.e. 3 markets, trade 0.3 of my total each time. This would be to make sure there is enough money in the bank for every market. But this would only work if there were no double buy/sell signals on any single market. This is something I think deserves looking into.

More markets, more trading opportunities, more potential profit?

[tehGoti]

• More exchanges?

Especially support for EUR trades

• Web UI for bot status or control?

This may be a 4.0 or beyond, but I'd like to see 'smart portfolio diversification' across various cryptocurrencies (say, the 5 or 10 with the highest market cap or trading volume) and to intelligently shift portions of --but not entire- allocations to currencies that are deemed more favorable at present, making zenbot more tactical. For example, maybe current portfolio is 55% BTC, 25% ETH, 10% LTC, 10% mix of others...then some news breaks and BTC is on the downtrend (either more risky than an alternative or less of an expected ROI) so zenbot shifts allocation to 30% BTC, 45% ETC, 20% LTC, 5% other.

[carlos8f]

@JeffUberman Zenbot is already capable of that, I am currently using Zenbot 3.5.13 to trade ETH-BTC-USD on GDAX which is similar to what you're describing. It will buy/sell ETH or BTC depending on which is trending at the moment.

Maybe a repair mode to find gaps in the data (missing data visible in the graph). I may be the only one to see this problem as I am running zenbot on an atom processor with 2gb of ram. The backfill seems ok but the reducer seems to skip some data.

[JFD3D]

A function for monitoring the top 5 or so highest 24 hour volume pairs on any given exchange would be nice :)

What @JeffUberman said is interesting. I haven't had a chance to test this yet so I will just ask, does zenbot currently trade multiple pairs and switch to another alt if for example you are running two scripts, ETH-BTC and LTC-BTC, the ETH-BTC pair is holding BTC and suddenly LTC trend triggers rs.op 'buy' will it will automatically switch to that pair (as in buy LTC)?

It would be awesome to have functionality that would predict pair profitability based on past performance and current trend data and switch to a more profitable currency while taking into account a 24 hour balance (and orderbooks?) to total user balance ratio. If the profitability margin is high enough maybe zenbot could even sell an asset where it stands and immediately buy into the more profitable opportunity. Also triangular arbitrage is fun although it probably lies outside the realm of this project.

In my opinion the more features/strategies/options parameters there are the less likely zenbot will suffer from "dilution syndrome" and lose it's profitability due to everyone using it although this may be more unlikely thanks to zenbrain.

Keep up the good work!

[carlos8f]

@JFD3D yes, in that scenario the bot would buy LTC, as long as the pairs are traded on the same exchange and share the same account balance.

I agree it would be awesome if Zenbot could analyze the entire crypto portfolio for the most profitable things to focus on, this is out of scope for Zenbot 3 though, perhaps in 4 :)

[buzztiaan]

[michaldev]

More exchanges or better support for EUR :)
Coinbase exchange isn't anonymous. They follow transactions, check id etc.
In coinbase person outside the USA can not trade USD. (Only EUR)

[carlos8f]

[D4rk4]

Please add BTC-e.com exchange to zenbot.

[JFD3D]

@carlos8f Yes, pls Mila Kunis in 3.6 :P

[totomaze]

Set the start balance by Asset or by Currency.
or
Set the first action of the Simulation (start with buy only).

[wiscokidd]

an option to place limit orders instead or market orders to avoid fees.

[coinchirp]

"an option to place limit orders instead or market orders to avoid fees" this 100x over, i was really surprised having only worked with/on HFT bots that this was not an option. Market fees always seem to kill bots over time and this logic applied could save some money, and help increase trading volume more reasonably

[kingo55]

Poloniex too please!

[carlos8f]

Alas, 3.6 never came, but Zenbot 4 is out, so I'm cleaning up 3.x issues. Please use and test 4, thanks!
