GH – SG Mutation C5 v3.5 Results
-
Hi all, welcome to my second mutation log. I previously tested SG Mutation C1 V2 which had respectable results – you can find my log of it here: GH – SG Mutation C1 Results. I’m now testing out SG Mutation C5 V3.5, which I have high hopes for given the amount of work Aitor and Javier put into developing it! The intention of this log is to share my results with others and to provide Aitor and Javier with some data/insights to help them optimise future variants.
Strategy: SG Mutation C5 V3.5
GunBot: v23.0.4
Running on: Windows VPS (4CPU, 8GB Ram)
Connection speed: 200mb/s
Exchange: Binance
Number of pairs: 5
Pairs: USDT-BTC, USDT-ETH, USDT-BNB, USDT-ENJ, USDT-LINK
Trading Limit: 25
Start date: 22/08/21Manual adjustments made to strategy:
- Reduced trading period from “15” to “5”. (Reason: Thought it would be interesting to test the bot on a shorter time frame where the movements would be a bit more volatile. This does mean that I’ll burn through my bankroll quicker, but I’ve addressed the risk by making sure I have enough capital for all DCAs on all pairs set aside to inject in. I also have access to additional capital should I need to inject some more later on to get out of deep bags, but I don’t think I’ll need to given the high number of DCAs already factored into the strategy and the fact that it has CT to help bring down the ABP.
- Reduced “Start Continuous Trading”. I won’t say what the before and after numbers are as I appreciate Aitor doesn’t want us to give away too much about the strategy settings, so let’s just say that I reduced it by 1. (Reason: I noticed that after a certain number of DCAs, the distance from ABP is usually too large for the price to move straight back up to without consolidating first. I thought it would be interesting to see if starting continuous trading slightly earlier after a drop would catch more of the zig-zag consolidation price action and therefore benefit the strategy).

For some reason or the other, it seems that my gunbot is freezing up as it’s not making any additional CT orders even though it has in the past at the same prices. See examples below:
Probably due to the same error as above, gunbot hasn’t sold two of my positions even though they are more than 1.5% above the ABP. They constantly just show a “Grid Sell Trailing” line. but doesn’t actually fire an order. See example below:
I’m not sure why this is happening given that everything was working smoothly on Days 1 and 2. I have tried stopping and starting trading and restarting gunbot, but neither seems to do the trick. I will give it another 24hrs before fully reinstalling gunbot and resuming SG Mutation C5 on a fresh cycle for Day 5.
Hey GH, nice changes. I’m interested with the reduction of trading period, how it went the last couple days. Does it perform many more buys than before? Hopefully you got your GB sorted to be able to answer that.
I’m personally really liking the 5 minute trading period, but keep in mind that it’s much more aggressive than the 15 minute period and will usually burn through your wallet quicker as it definitely does place more buy orders. This is because the candles are finer compared (3 times as many candles) and so the support and resistance levels (hence grid buys/trailing ranges etc.) will usually be tighter.
My personal strategy is to use short trading periods, a moderate number of pairs (all of which I’m happy to hold in case of a dump, such as BTC, ETH, ADA, ENJ etc.), and smaller TLs. I know some people prefer fewer pairs with higher TLs, but I personally find that having more pairs with lower TLs works better for me as it results in steadier profits. Regardless of which route you go down, just make sure you have enough funds to cover all DCAs. If you decide to trade on a smaller timeframe, then it would also be useful to keep some funds in reserve ‘just in case’.
@Aitor and @javieralv – Really good job on this strat, the trailing ranges are doing a great job at catching the bottoms. A really big improvement over V2!Day 5 Update
