Try running extensions/exchanges/gdax/update-products.sh!

Updating products will help if you're running an older version, but it won't fix all of the problems. See discussion over on #868.

868 is not not the same issue. There seems to be an element of unreliability since switching to the gdax websocket API rather than the REST API. My assumption is that Zenbot loses the connection but doesn't spot it, "sends" a buy or sell which never actually make it to the exchange. It then doesn't do any more buy or sells because it doesn't get a response to the buy or sell it never actually did. The status constantly saya "buying" or "selling" until you restart it.

Do you still think this issue is around today in the latest unstable?

abelardojarab commented 6 years ago

yes it is and it is causing big problem with market changing so fast. the best sells at a given price and btc value goes down (ok good until now) but then the value of btc bounces back and the bot sends 'buy' signal but it NEVER BUYS again, so you end with less BTC than when you started.

I see that you are closing all tickets in favor of 868; but this is not the same thing.

please dont ignore this issue it i causing big losses... thanks for your great work btw
