Unable to buy on bitstamp

[OterLabb]

(ERROR): unable to buy: null { error: { all: [ 'You need $72.92 to open that order. You have only $72.91 available. Check your account balance for details.' ] } }

Something to with rounding i would guess.

Gekko v0.1.2

I have changed fees and slippage up and down, but no luck. Also looked into portfolioManager.js but i could not figure out where the problem is. Any help appriciated :)

My config is as follows

// Monitor the live market
config.watch = {
enabled: true,
exchange: 'Bitstamp', // 'MtGox', 'BTCe', 'Bitstamp', 'cexio' or 'kraken'
currency: 'USD',
asset: 'BTC'
}

// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// CONFIGURING TRADING ADVICE
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

config.tradingAdvisor = {
enabled: true,
method: 'DEMA',
candleSize: 30,
historySize: 30
}

// Exponential Moving Averages settings:
config.DEMA = {
// EMA weight (α)
// the higher the weight, the more smooth (and delayed) the line
short: 10,
long: 21,
// amount of candles to remember and base initial EMAs on
// the difference between the EMAs (to act as triggers)
thresholds: {
down: -0.025,
up: 0.025
}
};

// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// CONFIGURING PLUGINS
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

// Want Gekko to perform real trades on buy or sell advice?
// Enabling this will activate trades for the market being
// watched by config.watch
config.trader = {
enabled: true,
key: 'my_key',
secret: 'my_secret',
username: 'my_username' // your username, only fill in when using bitstamp or cexio
}

config.adviceLogger = {
enabled: true
}

// do you want Gekko to calculate the profit of its own advice?
config.profitSimulator = {
enabled: true,
// report the profit in the currency or the asset?
reportInCurrency: true,
// start balance, on what the current balance is compared with
simulationBalance: {
// these are in the unit types configured in the watcher.
asset: 1,
currency: 100,
},
// only want report after a sell? set to false.
verbose: true,
// how much fee in % does each trade cost?
fee: 0.5,
// how much slippage should Gekko assume per trade?
slippage: 0.05
}

I'm seeing this too;

2014-06-18 06:57:11 (ERROR): unable to buy: null { error: { all: [ 'You need $98.52 to open that order. You have only $98.51 available. Check your account balance for details.' ] } }

Any help would be appreciated.

@askmike is this still an issue?

I haven't seen it recently (did over 10 orders in the last few days). But needs a bigger sample size to rule it out

[askmike]

We now switched to Bitstamp's v2 API which handles rounding different, I am assuming this is fixed!
