Did you set the client_id value too? Are you sure it matches the customer ID in your account? https://github.com/carlos8f/zenbot/blob/master/docs/exchanges/bitstamp.md

I saw this happen when I put the wrong number in client_id in the conf.js.

Yep 5.98 EUR is the real amount in my account

Turns out I've seen this exact thing this evening, only on fresh launch. I think it's because bitstamp can't backfill data (since their API doesn't provide historic trades). If I leave it for a period, or kill and relaunch, it seems to appear again.

[shprink]

how long should I let it alive? I tried like an hour, but nothing happened

[tiagosiebler]

I just killed and relaunched zenbot and the connection worked. Still having this issue? What period are you using?

I am having the same issue, bitstamp trade and bitstamp sim do not perform any actions. I tested with the following which failed bitstamp.BTC-EUR while the same trade/sim commands using for example gdax.BTC-EUR works normally. The connection appears to be correct with bitstamp API because I receive the correct balance values. My DB has now several days of logs, and killing the process doesnt seem to change anything, it sill cannot make a real trade or even a sim trade.

Anyone has an idea?

I seem to have the a similar problem as ckeriguy. I've also ran paper trade with selector provided as a parameter and left it running over night, but no trades.

I'm running dema on bitstamp.ETH-USD 5m candles EMA short = 3 EMA long = 6

The difference is, I don't even get the right balance from the exchange. I did provide key, secret and client_id to conf.jh, though.

Help anyone?

My Zenbot also can't perform any operation on the account... Event the trade movements aren't updated on the screen but those are saved on the database.
