Rebalance is not occurring #112

Closed claytondukes closed 6 years ago

claytondukes commented 6 years ago

I'm not sure why, but so far, it seems every couple of days, I have to manually re-balance.

My Poloniex funds have gone down all day (about 14 hours now) with .0595 remaining.

I do see this in the logs:

Perhaps this is some setting I'm just not aware of or maybe a bug?

You need to set btc-xfer-safety-factor to 1.

Ok, I think I get it, so where it says XFER THRES.: 0.15 BTC, it's because my config has btc-xfer-safety-factor = 1.5, is that correct?

Thus, when it says POLONIEX diff -0.09545818 BTC below xfer threshold!, the bot says I have not met the 0.15 BTC threshold so it won't balance the two exchanges. Correct?

So, in my config:

; The bot has a safety factor for being more conservative by default about
; transfering BTC versus other assets.  The bot tries to not lose more than
; 1% of an altcoin during transfer, but we are more conservative by a factor
; of btc-xfer-safety-factor.  For example if you adjust this value to 2,
; the bot tries to not lose more than 0.5% of our BTC during transfer, and
; help accumulate profits faster.
btc-xfer-safety-factor = 1.5

You're saying that if I set this to btc-xfer-safety-factor = 1, then it means that the bot will not apply this "additional" safety factoring, meaning it will consider 1% loss as acceptable?

Yes to all of your questions above. :-) This optimization is useful for bots that are running with higher BTC balances where the bot can afford to rebalance BTC less frequently. Bots such as yours can't afford that since they run out of BTC balance.
