Set the amount of the market currency (BTC, ETH, XMR, BNB, or USDT) we will use to buy a pair.
This amount is spent for EACH initial purchase. If this amount is not available in the lowest sell order, the bot will not buy.
An alternative to the fixed initial cost above, set the percentage of your TCV (Total Current Value) to be used for each initial purchase.
This is useful when your balance changes frequently and for larger account balances.
DEFAULT_initial_cost = 0.0012
DEFAULT_initial_cost = 2%
If you use
keep_balancethe balance used to calculateinitial_cost%does not include the reserved amount. e.g Balance = 1 BTC,keep_balance= 0.5 BTC,initial_costof 1% will equal 0.005 BTC not 0.01 BTC.
MINIMUM VALUES: The minimum recommendedDEFAULT_initial_costfor each exchange is shown below. If you go lower than this you will get dust more easily:
Binance:
BTC = 0.00012 (As Binance changed their BTC trade minimum, this value may still allow dust).
ETH = 0.011
BNB = 1.1
USDT = 10
Bittrex:
BTC = 0.0011
ETH = 0.00075
USDT = 10
Poloniex:
BTC = 0.0011
ETH = 0.0075
XMR = 0.00025
USDT = 1.25
Kucoin:
Kucoin minimums are not set in stone but they are some of the lowest around. We cannot provide specific examples.
