[Ask]: Profit Reading

[thorjeus]

Hi Dev,
Thank you for this great app, one of the best ever imho.

I'm running this on a very small amount, about $15 to understand how is it going at USDT-BTC and this is the result:

By the way, how do we read the "profit" section? is that a sum of total profit?

Will you add Bittrex or Kraken for this?

Appreciate for your attention.
Thanks & Regards.

Hey there,

I appreciate the compliment! Everest defines "profit" as the difference between the price it sold at (Exit Price) and the price that it bought in at (Entry Price). Looking back I realize that this might be confusing because most people might expect to see how many coins they gained/lost from each trade. Do you think it would be better that way? Each trade result line (lines starting with "Entry Price: ...") represents the profits of each individual trade that Everest made. No totals are calculated and no trade knows anything about any other trade. I hope that answers your question.

And yes! I do plan on adding support for Bittrex, Kraken and a number of other exchanges. I'm looking at implementing the ccxt API to make Everest exchange-agnostic.

Best

You are awesome!
Yes it is, answered my question for the profit reading which is the range between buy and sell number.

I feel enough in this way (as long as the green is more often printed then the red :D ), though it's going to be much more incredible when we're knowing amount of the coins we've gained in every trades, minimal profit percentage to take, etc....but it depends on people's taste.

I do really hope that Everest can be Exchange-nostic as this wonderful bot has a lot of potentials.

Wish you all the best,
Regards.

ps.
I've found one log is different from the bot against the exchange as picture below:
