Sounds doable. 0.5BTC bounty and I can implement it.

Hi.
Im realy stupid at this, but i almost managed to set up the live trading with gekko comand line.

I got two questions that i hope somebody could give me an well explaned answer for dummes..

First when i set up the paper trader it starts to watch the market but no trades seems to be made.. and how do i get a reprort of what has been done? it looks like this when running:

The other thing is, when i try to set up in live trade i get some error with portifolio manager??

Okay, not having Gekko running is driving me nuts. .2BTC to whoever gets my Lithuanian Linux Gekko running.

This bad guy works, although it seems to me something very unusual and a bit strange. Do you use Gekko, people? Watch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb9G9pLEk1M

Okay, good to know. It's still usable for CEX.IO botting.

Two features would make this bot _REALLY_ usable:

1) Intelligent buying GHS on certain times a day, watching the market and buying when the bot things is cheapest using (MACD|DEMA|X). This could be configurable for instance like just watch and report or even alert via mail when the bot things the time is right. Or just tell the bot to at least try to enforce buy once a certain treshhold is hit, disregarding certain minimal losses just to get the mining going.

2) More importantly: Selling GHS for BTC when the market goes downward a certain % in a certain time period, just to minimize losses. This could be fixed in the config file and should be easy to develop. Just a simple sell API call like "IF GHS<0.0073 RUN EMERGENCYSELLOFF();". The more advanced technique would be that the bot tracks which prices he bought for and you tell him for instance that when the threshhold of your average GHS/BTC value drops below -10% then just sell and hold, wait for admin input.

Thanks Sarah!

Is there a way to import pine scripts from tradingview into gekko?

Hi,

Is there a way to feed manual signals to the bot and have it trade automatically. Lets say I can feed in some json with exchange, symbol, buy, sell? I looked through the documentation but its a little confusing. I love the project and feel that it has potential to become a very useful tool. 

Trying to get the Gekko IRC Bot working..


there is no port? and also it does not work as default either.

This is my config i added port: cause i use another one from the original (8067)

config.ircbot = {
  enabled: true,
  emitUpdates: false,
  channel: '#freespeech',
  server: 'something.ddns.net',
  port: '8067',
  botName: 'gekkobot'
}


But nothing happens and i see no logs.

Great javascript btw! made profits with RSI.

 

I don't think there is. You're gonna have to binge watch general strategies videos on YouTube.

hello all is there a book titled "gekko for dumbies" with step by step instruction on how to make a strategy using all indicators and explaining each line of code ?

Does anyone have historical data from Bitstamp EUR/BTC as a Gekko DB?
(( December -17 to today ))

Or do you know haow to get that and import to Gekko?
(( Bitcoincharts.com only tracks USD for Bitstamp it seems.... So the http://gekkowarez.com trick doesn't work))

its "node gekko --ui"

if you still get similar errors you can reinstall gekko it solves, i had similar issues beforehand

 Aloha :

 "It's better to beg forgiveness than to ask for permission"
  Forgive me please, for I am a total newbie...
   and perhaps not worthy

 I am running ubuntu 14.04 LTS
I have tried numerous DL and run methods, mostly as per
https://gekko.wizb.it/docs/installation/installing_gekko.html

 Yet I always wind up stalled out trying to launch it.
Something to do with my node.js install perhaps?

 when I run (as sudo, in the gekko dir):
"node.js gekko--ui"
  or
"node gekko--ui"
   I get

Thats true!
Are the developers still active here?
I see a lot of activity at github...

That's one hell of a nice post :-)

Hello,
I need 2 strategies to implement in Gekko :

1) BB + RSI + MACD:
 
• Buy decision must satisfy three conditions:
  *  The signal is below the bottom line of Bollinger Bands
  *  The MACD in uptrend and has a cross intersection
  *  The Relative Strength Index is in uptrend
 
• Sell decision must satisfy three conditions:
  *  The signal is above the upper line of Bollinger Bands,
  *  The MACD in downtrend and has a cross intersection,
  *  The Relative Strength Index is in downtrend
 
• Additional Parameters :
  *  Standard parameters for BB
  *  Standard parameters for RSI
  *  Standard parameters for RSI
  *  Time Frame: Must be able to run on any time frame (M1, M5, M15, M30 etc )
  *  Buy Money Management: Be able to use% of account for each buy trade
  *  Sale Money Management: Be able to use% of account for each sale trade
  *  Stop Loss:%
 
2) 2 MA + SAR + RSI :

• Buy decision must satisfy three conditions:
  *  The Relative Strength Index is in uptrend
  *  The MA makes a Golden Cross: Crossover involving a short-term moving average breaking above the long-term moving average
  *  The Parabolic SAR dots, begin to be hanging above the candles
 
• Sell decision must satisfy three conditions:
  *  The Relative Strength Index is in downtrend
  *  The MA Makes to Death Cross: C rossover RESULTING from a l ong-term moving average breaking above the short-term moving average or support level.
  *  The Parabolic SAR dots, begin to be hanging bellow the candles
 
• Additional Parameters :
  *  Number of periods for Short-term moving average
  *  Number of periods for Long-term moving average
  *  Standard parameters for SAR
  *  Standard parameters for RSI
  *  Time Frame: Must be able to run on any time frame (M1, M5, M15, M30 etc )
  *  Buy Money Management: Be able to use% of account for each buy trade
  *  Sale Money Management: Be able to use% of account for each sale trade
  *  Stop Loss: %


I would like to know the feasibility of doing them and the cost

Maybe but no one will share

That again has been fixed.. sorry about that. See here: https://github.com/askmike/gekko/pull/1824

I would recommend downloading a stable release from here instead of using the develop version (unless you are a developer). Download that from here: https://github.com/askmike/gekko/releases

Thanks again for your replies, very much appreciated. I have downloaded that version you link to, the TypeError: _.get is not a function error has gone, but the TypeError: Cannot read property 'log' persists.

Is this a permissions thing in OS X do you know?

Edit: Also getting 'Gekko was unable to set the portfolio'.

I can live paper trade, but tradebot gives me the errors.
