Troubleshooting: Why Your Gunbot Isn't Trading

If Gunbot is not initiating trades, work through the checklist below to identify the cause.

Info

Gunbot is an automated cryptocurrency trading bot. If it's not trading, it could be due to various configuration settings, market conditions, or exchange-specific requirements.

Troubleshooting Checklist for a Non-Trading Gunbot

Use this checklist to diagnose why your Gunbot is not trading:

1. Ensure Proper Trading Bot Operation

Confirm that Gunbot is running as expected. A good indicator is a "grid" output with trading data in the console window, which shows the bot is processing pairs correctly.

2. Disable Watch Mode

Verify that Watch Mode is disabled. This mode allows you to observe Gunbot's potential actions without executing trades.

3. Check Strategy Settings

Inspect your trading strategy settings within the Strategy Configurator. Ensure that both buying and selling options are enabled.

4. Balance Settings Review

Double-check your balance settings. They should be configured correctly and meet the minimum trade size requirements of the exchange you are using.

5. Adjust Buy Level Setting

Consider adjusting the Buy Level setting. The default value of 1 might be too restrictive under certain market conditions or for specific trading pairs. Experiment with lowering this setting to encourage more frequent trading.

6. Modify Trailing for Selling

If you're utilizing trailing for selling, try reducing the sell range. This modification can help in triggering sell orders more effectively under varying market conditions.
