Your link shows a 1m chart, do you have zenbot's RSI configured for 1 minute?
Make sure you are launching zenbot with the run function: ./zenbot launch map reduce run server --config <your config.js> optionally with map --backfill if you need trade history. Feel free to link your config file and tell us how you are launching zenbot.

Yes, I run zenbot with command:
./zenbot launch map reduce run server --config config_btc_eur.js

config_btc_eur.js:

config.js:

Your config looks the same as mine, so it should work.
I advise you try the following.

Run zenbot with this command:
./zenbot launch map --backfill reduce run server --config config_btc_eur.js
This will backfill all necessary data.

Also, do you have have all your assets in EUR? If that is so, maybe the bot didn't try to buy BTC yet because of the fall in price. Otherwise check the longs and search for the word 'attempting', zenbot logs each try to trade and report the failure reason, if there is one.

Be patient, it can take a couple of days for zenbot to start making transactions. Good luck!

Yeah, this works! :)
What happens if during the works of the bot I will add some money/btc to gdax?

It will notice there's new money and just keeps running (trading your new money as well)

@itsMichael I think it wasn't trading because the command you used to launch zenbot was missing the zenbot run launch command. How has it been working for you, any profits so far? I'm curious as I've never traded BTC-EUR, what is your current ROI?

Initial money: 79.01 EUR
Actually money: 79.22 EUR

currently: 78.80 EUR.

just relax, the bot doesn't have a crystal ball so it'll make mistakes, just like normal traders do

You need to backtest and change default logic to fine tune it.

@JFD3D https://github.com/JFD3D I have now 76.88 EUR. I started with
79.01 EUR (12 days ago). Every time this bot makes mistakes.
Should I change something config for this currency? (maybe
default_logic.js)
