I backtested your strategy on ETHBTC (poloniex) from 2016-06-30 to 2017-04-15 15:59 and got a whopping 64% profit :p

Hey guys just discovered this thread im also a Gekko user just experimented with the back testing and now on live trade i was playing with settings and came up with this strategie.  

Code:
// Exponential Moving Averages settings:
config.DEMA = {
  // EMA weight (α)
  // the higher the weight, the more smooth (and delayed) the line
  short: 13,
  long: 19,
  // amount of candles to remember and base initial EMAs on
  // the difference between the EMAs (to act as triggers)
  thresholds: {
    down: -1,
    up: 1
  }

It is quite conservative and does not many trades, but it is about +200% in the last 2 Month

Now i just don't figure
1. How to install talib on a windows PC and
2. is there a way to adjust the amount / percentage of available funds the bot shall spend on each Trade?
3. How can i combine strategies for example a Fibo Retracement wit an DEMA or something?

Cheers

I agree with this- I just don't know what the parameters mean. I was able to install and set it up after a few attempts but the programming and numbers don't mean much to me- would the developer be able to give easy examples as to what parameters to change on different strategies?

Is there an elaborated documentation?

I'm looking for docs for understanding each function and what it does..
For example in the MACD, the "short","long" indicators I dont know if it by days/hours... And in general what each parameter stand for, it's very unclear to beginners.. The TA-lib indicators site isn't helpful either since it only elaborate the functions without any explanation & parameters details.

Hi, is anyone still alive here?
I just installed gekko-stable and play around with it. Can anyone tell me how to add Heiken Ashi indicator to gekko-stable's strategy?

I found Heiken Ashi is available in another gekko branch (gekko-config_fix), but I got no result while installing it and ended up with many errors.

Hello there! I just installed gekko on a Raspberry pi 3 armv71

I'm able to open gekko but when I go to local data and I try to import data it gets stuck on importing data.
It doesn't mather if it's from yesterday to today. It will be stuck like it's loading but it never imports anything. Has anyone had this problem?
Thanks mates!

Here is a video explaining how to install on windows, meant for users not very experienced with commandlines / terminals.

Do you think it will be possible to retrieve the historical data from bittrex using Gekko?

I'm way too non-technical gal for this.

Could some one please share some (simple) own made strategy so i could try this thing or are there some site where people have shared their strategies?

Interesting idea, right now Gekko focusses purely on raw market data (eg. candle data). Would be great if we can add and try to correlate external data sources (exchange lag, tweets, whatever) in a way.

----

For everyone running windows: Gekko supports a huge number of indicators (100+) via a library called TAlib. Which works great but is almost impossible to compile on windows. I just created a proposal for a similar library (tulip indicators) that has precompiled windows binaries available. If you would like to see this soon in Gekko, please +1 the proposal here: https://github.com/askmike/gekko/issues/708

Just a idea. Detect mtgox lag and sell when it is hi enough and buy when it is low enough + some time as a additional strategy. Of course not on a mtgox but on some other exchange...

I try and run Gekko 0.3.4 with node v7.4.0 trading just on BTC-e with pretty much the default settings, it can paper trade, and it works fine in trader mode until it actually wants to do a trade, then it crashes every time. Sometimes with a nonce error, other times something like:

/gekko/node_modules/btc-e/btc-e.js:79
      return callback(new Error(result.error));
             ^


Do other people have Gekko 0.3.4 trading ok on BTC-e ?

I have tried LTC/BTC, ETH/RUR both crash.


Only tried backtesting and paper trading so far but given Mike is active amd trading is fundamental to the bot I cant imagine why it would t work. Have you tried btc usd?
