As Maker & Taker fees drop in value, it may be useful to change the market trend reset value to something lower: +``` +$ cryptum --symbol btc-usd \ + --autotrade \ + --session-root ~/cryptum \ + --time-between-market-trend-reset 14_400 +``` + +Possible values for market trend reset are: +``` +604_800 => 1 week +86_400 => 1 day +14_400 => 4 hours +10_800 => 3 hours +7_200 => 2 hours +3_600 => 1 hour +2_700 => 45 minutes +1_800 => 30 minutes +900 => 15 minutes +300 => 5 minutes +180 => 3 minutes +60 => 1 minute +``` + +If you choose a lower value than the default, the target profit margin's (i.e. TPM) will also be reduced (assuming the TPM is still higher than Maker + Taker fees). This may be desireable - although TPM is reduced, trading volume should increase resulting in better Maker & Taker fee tiers (i.e. lower cost / trade). + +Another option (particularly useful with smaller balances) is bumping the market trend reset to 604800 (i.e. 1 week) which will immediately increase the TPM %'s. The downside to this approach is trading volume is reduced, resulting in higher maker & taker fee tiers (i.e. higher cost / trade). From an error monitoring perspective, they can be monitored via: ``` tail -f /tmp/cryptum-errors.txt ```
