Topic: Gekko - a javascript trading bot and backtesting platform - page 6. (Read 147876 times)

For some reason OpenShift hates screen and I spent a good hour yelling at my server. In searching for the problem I found tmux which has similar capability and isn't hated by OpenShift. Thanks, dude! Fist bump.

And if anyone wants to get Gekko running on a server I can personally attest to feasibility of running it on a free OpenShift server without the need for an open terminal instance with tmux.

I think you should try Screen instead of nohup for that purpose, it should do better job of preserving the environment which may be important when process needs input. There are no disadvantages in using it instead of nohup.

Hey, good people. I have gotten Gekko running on my local machine as well as on a free OpenShift server. But now I want to get Gekko running without the need for a terminal instance open, and so am trying to get it running with nohup. Here's the problem:


My log shows:


My password is stored in config.js. Why is it still prompting for a password? Is it in fact prompting for a password, or is it just saying that it is? Because with the password stored when I run Gekko normally I have to press enter at the prompt: password: line. Or is the problem something else entirely?

Thanks, guys!

The error you quoted and the provided solution is not for the error you reported. In your case did you run npm so all the dependencies are installed? It looks like one of the node_modules was not installed properly.

Should you find you also need to install git on ubuntu it's extremely simple:


Never would have guessed you were running that since your user name is 'i heart ubuntu'

I'll check into it thanks. I sould have mentioned Im running ubuntu.

Install git http://git-scm.com/download/win

Would any gekko users be interested in a data service for gekko?

I built a candle aggregator that watches any market across several exchanges and have successfully integrated my candle api into gekko. This allows me to get gekko running on a market without gekko watching the market (Gekko gets all the data it needs on startup no more waiting x amount of hours before starts advising ), it also allows me to back test markets very easily. A other advantage to this is not relying on gekko to create its candles based on the trades it fetches since i have seen this to be very problematic instead it fetches candles from a central api server. I still have some work to do before i can publish the candle fetcher component for gekko. I plan on storing up to 6 months of trade data for now per market. New markets are auto discovered and marked as "NEW" and a new exchanges.js is generated and available for download every time we find a new market (this can be done programmatically so you don't have to replace the exchanges.js file every time).

Pricing model :

Request per Day	Limit	Costs
10	300	Free
1,440	50,000	0.1 BTC
5,000	150,000	0.2 BTC
15,000	1,500,000	0.5 BTC
30,000	5,000,000	1 BTC

So here is the big question, How many of you would use or pay for this type of service ?


 

got an error while installing anyone can help?

Hello! Can anyone help? Installed on Ubuntu via github instructions. All seemed OK. I have inputed my API/secret and other info into the config file as well.

When launching in the terminal I use "nodejs gekko" and I get this message. Thanks for any help!

hello. I ave a similare problem.

Without having looked, this appears to be a 404 type error, Cryptsy may have changed their api

Should be, i was able to find the bug and helped askmike fix it on github: https://github.com/askmike/gekko/issues/262

Bitfinex seems fixed, testing it now...


Thanks!

I'm certain its possible - but now how you're thinking.  Not like you can just press 'print money now' button or anything.  Your charts are wrong when it comes to trying to play arbitrage - look at the actual order book spreads and also realize that you're looking at stale data - your eyeballs see a number that 100s (perhaps 1000s) or bots have also seen and ran against 'settings'.  The spread you see has either 1) already vanished by the time you log in to see how much is left or 2) is so tiny that you're making something like a .17% profit on a market volume of .0002458BTC or something in that magnitude. 

I always get tempted to 'try something out' then I login to see that the number shown on the ticker is an average of the spread and not the available liquid for you to buy from or sell to.

To answer your specific question - NO probably not.  However it could happen this way on either cross-exchange arbitrage or perhaps on cross-market arbitrage:

Run two different instances of Gekko pointed to each exchange sharing the same reddis beacon and reading off of each other's data (it was a theoretical proposed solution that seems imply that a larger dataset can be used for different instances of Gekko to read from and make use of).

I'm lurking on this thread to see if others forked it and put in coinsetter functionality yet, its on my radar atm if not.

Anyone tried make an arbitrage with that script?

I get a similar error


does anybody know how to fix this?

Thanks

Im getting the following error configuring Bitfinex...


Any tips to fix that?

Thanks! 

Lol , change the strategy.

Stop using the bot?

Ok this is really not working out for me. I kept the bot on for about a week now
From 0.5BTC I got 0.27BTC left
So from $165 I got down to $100

Any advise?
