In the constant search for pairs that are able to generate profit within a trading bot, while reducing drawdown and losing trades, I've been playing with different indicator settings within those available for Gunbot. Using the built in RSI buy and sell level indicators, as well as removing the BollingerBand selling points, I've started to see a trend for un-pumped and slower growth/ranging pairs: BB buy, Stepgain sell.
The following backtest buys STEEM at RSI > 35 (trending up), Lower Bollinger Band buy at 10, and sells at 2% and 8% stepgain intervals (no RSI indicator for sell). The timeframe for this test includes the January dips, 1/1/2018 to 2/2/2018. The total estimated return from this test is 80%, while a buy and hold would generate 27% (roughly 3x return from buy and hold).
This setting is live now for myself, and I'll keep the reigns held tight - and adjust settings moving forward depending on how relevant the indicators continue to be.
