I'm running it since a few weeks now on ETH Poloniex, it's giving mixed results, but generally has made a few % profit.

Do you mean overall after a few weeks its profitable by a few %, or it's had a few profitable trades, but is not making a profit overall?

I hope it's the first, and that "mixed results" means there are a few (or even quite a few) loss making trades. That's to be expected!

Yeah after a few weeks I had a few % profit, but it makes a single "mistake" and that's all gone then. I'm having trouble figuring out why it doesn't take better advantage of sharp rises and falls, for example this short period:

Trying to see why it fails to sell when the fairly steep dip happens around 6 AM..

Mixed results are always to be expected as you say. If one backtests long periods it's easy to see that there sometimes do occur a couple of bad trades in a row etc.
No risk, no reward. Smile

Agree! And I'm fine with that, but I find that testing with a long period skews the results of the short term last period, market is behaving very differently the last month vs a year ago vs last December. I've seen results with 1000's of %'s of profit but applying those strategies to for example just this year gives you a negative result!
