New in v13 / v14

Here's a quick overview of the most important changes introduced with Gunbot v14.

Gunbot v13/v14 focuses on bugfixes and improving user experience. That's why this time there is no long list of new features, just a long list of improvements.

Upgrading

Download the update and unpack it to a new folder, copy the config.js and gunbotgui.db files from your previous v12 installation into the new folder to keep your settings.

• Empty your browser cache for your Gunbot GUI (for example with ctrl-F5).

• In case you used https for the GUI, also make sure to copy both the key and certificate files to the new folder.

• If you have pairs that are already in DU or RT, also copy the /json folder from v12 to v13.

• New strategy parameters for v13 will be automatically added through the GUI the first time you update a strategy. This happens on a per strategy basis.

• Make sure to set the new Admin ID for Telegram, for better privacy.

• When you use email alerts, make sure the syntax of your alerts is correct.

• If you also want to migrate your settings for the Telegram bot, copy the tgconfig.json file to your new folder as well.

Due to new libraries used, you cannot simply overwrite the executable for this release.

New features / changes in v13

• New exchanges: Gunbot now supports trading on Idax and Cobinhood. Please note that Cobinhood only has an API key, not an API secret - use an IP restriction for your key for added security.

• Restrict buying with SMACROSS : you can now restrict SMACROSS to only place a single buy order, instead of buying on every cross up. Set SINGLE_BUY true to only allow a single buy order.

• Improved privacy for Cryptosight: restrict who is allowed to view and interact with your Telegram bot. Use the admin_id setting to specify one or more user IDs that are allowed to use your Telegram bot.

• Improved GUI template: better optimized for mobile usage, different color schemes and support for setting a custom highlight color.

• Changes to margin trading on Bitfinex (TV add-on): all amounts should now be specified in quote.

• Different alert syntax for closing positions on Bitmex (TV add-on): longs are now closed with CLOSELONG_, shorts with CLOSESHORT_ instead of CLOSE_ for both.

• New path for log files: per pair log files are now saved in the /gunbot_logs folder.

Additional changes in patch release (v14):

• Improved ROE calculation for Bitmex: values now closely match the leveraged ROE values on Bitmex itself. If you're unsure what value to use in Gunbot, refer to the examples on the margin strategy pages for ROE.

• TradingView alerts on Bitmex Testnet: email alerts can now also be used on Testnet.

• Close entire positions on Bitmex using alerts: enable TV_CLOSE_ALL to close an entire position when a close alert arrives, instead of closing the amount specified in trading limit settings.

• SL_DISABLE_SELL : Disabled the sell side after a short position hit STOP_LIMIT.

• Lending Rate (Poloniex): Allow for entering a maximum lending rate for margin positions.

Notice for Bitmex users

Disable STOP_LIMIT by setting it's value to 9999, to prevent accidental triggers.

Because it now triggers on leveraged ROE value, it could be that a previous lower setting causes unwanted stops.
