Dear all,

noob question here but:
- is there any threads about advices to know how to choose the best pairs?

I don't really know where to start and how to choose particulary a good pair.. (maybe it's based on volatility, etc..?).

Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Ciao

I came across this article yesterday and thought you folks might find it helpful.

Ignore the 'mean reversion' stuff if you're not into that, though it does look useful.  The guy has written a whole guide on how to build a profitable strategy in one article.

Good trading!

Hello to the gekko community!

Are there any plans on integrating ccxt lib to gekko?

https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt

It seems it already supports more complex order types and advanced parameterization (like order amount etc.), and communication with many exchanges.

See here for details.

Thanks.

Hi!

I've been developing my own system with a backtester, and I just can't understand the results that it reports.

For example, on the bottom on the "Roundtrip" section it shows that my strategy took 3 trades:

Entry at (UTC)    Exit at (UTC)    Exposure    Entry balance    Exit balance    P&L    Profit
2016-06-12 00:00    2016-06-14 06:00    2 days    0.987    1.052    0.06    6.56%
2016-06-16 01:00    2016-06-22 15:00    7 days    1.039    1.255    0.22    20.81%
2016-08-22 22:00    2016-09-15 13:00    24 days    1.240    1.552    0.31    25.19%

So, entry balance for first trade was 0.987BTC and exit for the last was 1.552BTC, which would make about 55% of profit in total.

But, on the Backtest Result- section it says that:

start balance    1.00000 BTC
final balance    1.13575 BTC
simulated profit 13.57521%

Why do these reports differ so much; other says that the profit was about 55%, and other 13,57%??? :-o

I was trading on https://tradeogre.com and pretty quickly realized there was a few bots trading against me.  Here is what I could see they were doing.

Buy coin at 1 sat higher than highest buy offer
Sell coin at 1 sat lower than lowest sell offer

Basically, they were exploiting a gap between the buy/sell books on a single coin on the exchange; I was doing the same thing.  I know it was a bot because as soon as I put my order above/below it, it moved the order.  

For further evidence, it was set to ignore any combined order above/below a predetermined amount-- for example.  If I listed 4.5 coins for sale, it would move it's own order to exe before mine (price diff of 1 sat).  But if my coin sale totaled 4.49 it would do nothing.

I used to this my advantage to find the floor of how low the bot would be willing to go, then leavel 4.5 coins there to hold the bot's order as low as possible while putting mine much higher up the order book to maximize my own profit.  Conversely, I have also broke my order up to the 4.49 totals and traded in 1 sat price increments which means I didn't realize as much, but still got my orders executed before the bots.

tradeogre is a relatively low volume exchange, so getting the order traded first is important, especially on coins that have these gaps because they are even lower volume usually.

Just curious if anyone knows what this trade strategy is called.  If anyone is curious to run it, I tripled my "fun" money (disposable money I just have for fun) in 2 weeks trading like this.  Usually a buy/sell pairing every 4 hours or so.  Trade pair profit ran from 3% to 14% usually around 8% though.  I ended up stopping because my holdings were getting to the point of taking a long time to actually execute.
