Hi, all!

For the past few months, I've been running backtest experiments where I compare publicly available strategies against each other. I have been documenting results in my Medium series - https://medium.com/@deandree. I just thought I share this here, because I believe my results and information could be useful to Gekko community. Also I hope to hear insights and comments from you.

In my latest article, I decided to go for the big fish and gathered 15 Neural Network strategies and backtested them against TOP20 Coins on September datarange:
    -    neuralnet_SirTificate
    -    neuralnet_zschro
    -    zuki_nn
    -    mounirs-ga-version-1
    -    mounirs-ga-version-2
    -    mounirs_esto
    -    n8
    -    n8_v2
    -    n8_v2_BB_RSI_SL
    -    NNv2
    -    NN_ADX_RSI
    -    neataptic
    -    LSTM_MACD_RSI_V3
    -    Luke_NN
    -    ManuNet

In my next article, I have planned to dig deeper and show you the price prediction line of each strategy, so we can get a better understanding of what's really going on behind the scenes. 

For example, here is prediction line for n8_v2 strategy for IOT coin in September month:



Let me know if this is useful to you and/or if any suggestions! Thanks!

Hello,

Hello.

I been using Gekko now two weeks about and i do love it :akes time to get to know all but slowly im getting there. BUT i do have this problem with Binance caused by my strategy "i think". Im using right now strategy with stopploss and as when use stoploss the bot make's a buy and trye to sell but only seem's to wait just a second or two and cansel the sell due to stoploss setting.. Now im not really sure if this is caused to this but believe so. Now i got a email "again" from Binance about trading disabling/enable. First time when i did get this i make new API for bot and was good to go. So now i disabled the stopploss to see if getting better. 

So im worried about this. Can it be only stopploss setting that does this or what? Also wunder how can i add Bitstamp in Gekko bot =) 

Thank you 

I was attempting to trade ETC/BAT.
Once the Bot starts and pulls from Binance, my ETH Balance is at first correct and then after the Balance part reports incorrect.
This causes the bot to no trade in the proper direction. Is this a Binance API issue? It has only happened for this pair so far.

I'm still pretty new, so forgive me if I missed something. 

I'm trying to define settings on strategies based on vvarious indicators however, I like the visual data on backtests graphs to see the triggers and adjust accordingly... Of course i can try adjusting some numbers and try to run the backtest again but that's a bit counter productive... 

Or is there a way to backtest with tones of different settings at once in order to find optimal settings ?

Also I found out sometimes back tests results can be quite different from the actual real world trade bot performance, even when matching strategies and fees during live trading with the backtest run afterwards on the same past period ^^

Hello all,

I tried to from the command line with this node gekko -c config.js and i get this error:

So I was recently doing some backtesting, and noticed that the single roundtrip profit report (gekko ui by the way) is a bit deceiving, at least to me.
It's not really that big of a problem but rases some questions.
At times it will show that during roundtrip I made a profit when in reality I made a loss.
Let me show you what I mean on a example:

My initial balance is 10000 currency no asset. fee is 0.1% (both maker and taker)
After the first roundtrip I get a report:
entry balance = 9990, exit balance = 9999, p&l = 9, profit = 0.09%

So report shows a profit of 9 currency, but when we look at the exit balance it's clearly a loss of 1 currency.
It calculates the profit based on "entry balance" which is the previous (in this case initial) balance after fee. this gives us 9990 currency.
Wouldn't it be better if it was based on previous roundtrip exit balance, so it would show a 1 currency loss instead of a profit?

Next I found the calculation in performance analyzer to be done like this:

Hello everyone,

I am trying to incorporate Volume traded as part of my strategy. How can I implement this into my code? So basically along with SMA & RSI, if current candle volume is higher than previous candle by x% then buy for example

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You

Hi guys

I would like to know only if it is possible to create a feature for "Panic Sell / Buy Dynamic" - in case something goes wrong, this feature will initiate an automatic replacement of your sell/buy order so that your order always keep first book of offers.

For this, with each candle closure, the algorithm checks the order book and detects the quantity of btc or wall of purchase / sale, placing the purchase order always first.

I would like any help or idea and am willing to pay for this service if need be.

Thanks in advance
