I’ve stopped Marty several times and reconfigured his settings to try to capture more profit, but so far in the last week I have only snagged about $190 or so.

I’ve been distracted — gardening, taking care of a sick pet, and not doing much writing, or paying attention to my bot.

I’ve missed several notifications.

Last week in a few snapshots :

Normally, I try not to stop the bot under $100+, but the market volatility changed and become a bit flat, so I was trying to capture more.

So far the results are less than I’d like.

Results for March :

I brought in around $1735 for the month on a single BTC Martingale DCA bot.

$1950 total gross gain, subtract my losses of -$215 when closing to restart mid-month while in the red for several days, and a few negative bucks here and there when adjusting settings and restarting.

Despite the market movement in a serious upward trend, my stop/start martingale method pulled more or less the same amount of profit.

Typically on a $10,000 balance, I can pull $1500-$2000 per month, sometimes more if I am lucky.

If I am comparing this to my *HODL balance of 10k, which was purchased at 55k, BTC now sitting at 70k…..that is a 22% gain on HODL’ing.

Which makes my holding balance worth around $12200.

For the last 30 days and during the month of the all time high for BTC so far, HOLD’ing was slightly more profitable than running my bot!

My bot pulled 17.35%.

I am changing my settings to AI Settings (the default), and letting my bots roll. ETH, BTC, LTC.

I’ll give periodic updates.
