Hello everyone! I’m sure this isn’t a bug, but it’s a behavior I still don’t understand and that I’ve seen many times in different bots. It occurs when all the conditions are correct to open a trade, but the bot does it too late, affecting the outcome of the operation due to poor timing.
In this case (I only included a recent example), all three conditions are OK (draw red), but the bot initiates the operation too late. I believe must initiate more closer to the conditions (draw white)
I bactested the Strategy and was consistent with the Paper Bot at least in the last 4 trades
(pic of the same trade in the backtest. I added the config of the stoch `cos is my suspect that I messed upwith the interpretation of condition K&D)
I wonder whether it would be possible to translate the 4 h signal into the 15 min chart. At what moment was condition 3 met on candle close in the 4 h chart? I would expect it to open at least the next 16 candles of the 15 min chart to trigger a trade; probably more because it’s a slow “above” trigger. Another question is whether the bot had free slots to open a new deal when all conditions were met first.
If the backtest and the paper bot gave the same entries then it’s likely correct. Backtester and bot logic are separate, it’s very unlikely that that are both making the same mistake, they have completely different code.
The EMA 200 at the moment of the trade is really far from action price the condition is met before, as Ares said both Bot repeat the same trade so must be OK for the logic of indicators, wich is intriguing is the distance in Time not Price.
I saw this in other trades in diff bots .
I will investigate further because is not happen always but can chnage your Bot results with the time.
By the way the bot is working only with BTC
