is there any way to specify long/short of more than 1 share?

e.g. 

this.advice('long', 10); 

where 10 is 10 shares, etc.

thx

Hi,

when I've a running trade gekko let's say with BTC and ETH and it's working well. Can I login to my exchange and increase the BTC / ETH volume and next trade the gekko is trading with more value? Or do I need to restart my gekko?

Thank you! 
Great tool!

Hi,

I have been trying to trade on Kraken but I'm getting the following errors.

When I trade using the RSI_BULL_BEAR_ADX strategy;

2018-04-01 17:48:25 (DEBUG): [kraken.js] entering "setBalance" callback after kraken-api call, data: { error: [], result: { XXBT: '0.0102109700' } }
2018-04-01 17:48:25 (ERROR): Kraken did not return portfolio for CAD, assuming 0.


And when I'm using the StochRSI

2018-03-21 20:10:14 (INFO): Trader Received advice to go short. Selling  XBT
2018-03-21 20:10:16 (DEBUG): [kraken.js] entering "setBalance" callback after kraken-api call, data: { error: [], result: { XXBT: '0.0071969600' } }
2018-03-21 20:10:16 (ERROR): Kraken did not return portfolio for CAD, assuming 0.
2018-03-21 20:10:16 (ERROR): Wanted to buy CAD but the amount is too small (0.007196960000) at kraken

Somewhere on the Github wiki I found someone saying that I needed 0.01 bitcoins before it would work.
And there was another thread about difficulties with trading on Kraken but that was resolved / fixed.
So I thought that there would be no more issues with Kraken.

Am I doing something wrong here or is there a problem with Krakens api?

I'm using an almost standard install of Gekko and I start my tradebot through the UI.

Hi
gekko ui does not understand the type of live trade
we can not understand that you started the paper trader or TradeBot by looking at the page
There is no information on what type of gekko ui page
Paper trader or Tradebot

page views are the same
can we see which works with text or color
thank you

every time i try add data to do a back test is get an error message saying "IMPORT ERROR"
"gekko has encountered an error and can not continue"


Any help would be awesome.

Thanks in advance


B.

Could someone please explain in more detail the purpose of this "warmup period" and how it should be used?

For example, I have downloaded 4 months of backtesting data, 1.1.2017 - 30.4.2017, because I would like to test my method based on M15 candles for 4 months period. But, I also want to make trades only on a positive long term trend, which would be filtered with EMA 960 (=~ EMA 10 on D1 chart).

So, does this mean that I have to set "warmup period" at 960? What happens if I don't?

And does this also mean that the first trades can be taken only after that period is gone, which is about 11.1.2017? Should I set the backtesting period to include the warmup period or not, i.e. should the back tester's start date be 11.1. or 1.1.?

hello all.

I am having trouble installing the other libraries, if anyone can shed any insight into this i would really appreciate it, please bare in mind i know very little about linux.


many thanks

Hello everyone and congratulations for the project, I saw that among the plugins is present Telegram but I can not find the configuration file where you can insert the API.

I wanted to hook the buy/sell notifications in GET, but it is not clear to me if I have to insert them in the strategy or if the plugin is already configured to do this.

Hi There

Is it possible to configure Gekko to accumulate an Asset, instead of a currency?

For example, I'm using Kraken with a trade pair of BTC/XLM. In the default configuration it will attempt to generate more BTC, but I want to acheive an accumulation of XLM instead.

iv been trying to figure this out and it dont seem to be working. i set CCI to 1 minut candles 20 history (like the binance graph so i could watch it) set up to 150 and down to -110, 0 persistence. would seem easy to know when its gona buy/sell jst by watching binace but nooooo. it bought at -75 then sold at about 100, could someone tell me what im missing i even made sure i clicked the start button at the same time a minut was turning over on the binance site. goes down to -120 and this time dosent buy
