Base currency - if pair is COSS_ETH, then ETH is a base currency Secondary currency - if pair is COSS_ETH, then COSS is a base currency

Limitations

• IMPORTANT Keep in mind, it is advised to keep your secondary currency balance greater than or equal to your LOT_SIZE. This is because bot it currently implemented in a very straightforward way. And thats why it may happen that BUY order is FILLED only partially. Or COSS API works too slow. And because of this if secondary currency balance is 0 (for example) SELL order will get an error "Not enough balance"

• IMPORTANT When you change bot variables - bot restarts each time. And when bot starts - it makes initial bid. Be careful with that cause a lot of bot restarts will trigger a lot of bids and your balance may disappear.

• Orders are separated even if they have the same price. So it is possible to have 1000 orders with price 0.000123 ETH

• Fees calculation is not accurate if your order was executed in multiple trades and some of the trades were using CFT and some of them - not. Though its a very-very rare case.

• Bot statistics can't be shared across multiple bots

• Bot statistics assume you don't change pair where bot works. For example, if you started with COSS_ETH, accumulated some statistics and then changed pair variable to BTC_USDT - dashboard will keep showing COSS_ETH values but using BTC_USDT currencies. If you need another pair - create a new bot. Don't forget to remove or turn off unnecessary bots.

• You can backup/dump all the data bot has, but there is no built-in tools - you have to do it using some programming/heroku tools. Its not covered by bot.

• All bot interactions (start/stop/change variable/view logs etc) are done using Heroku interface. Its pretty simple, but its another topic. Please, explore it if you want for example, to change bot variables (its under Settings - Reveal Variable section)
