When running longer candle sizes (and maybe also other scenarios) it would be nice to be able to specify an exact time (and possibly date) for Gekko to go live. For example, if I run a strat on four hour candles and would like it fairly synchronized with TradeView candles so that I easier can analyze/predict the actions of Gekko, I don't want to sit around for two-three hours to press "enter" exactly when TradeView starts a new candle. I would much rather just set a start time as a switch in the console and then Gekko could run a market watcher until then so that market data is ready at the time it goes live.

Like for eample:
node gekko --config strategy.js --start 2018-02-14T04:00:00

hello. I am new to gekko and do not have skill on java. I don't know is this doable with gekko or I am overestimating? Here is what I want to have :- 



EMA 5 - Green
EMA 12 - White
RSI 14 - level 50
BUY: EMA 5 Cross EMA 12 to upside, RSI greater than 50
SELL: EMA 5 Cross EMA 12 to downside, RSI less than 50
Do not SELL at SUPPORT, Do not BUY at RESISTANCE
Take Profit can be customized on percent and Stop loss too.  Thank you  

Sometimes it happens that some error will occur in Gekko and the program will turn off, for example when we have runned Gekkos live trade. 

We can overcome this by simply loops in Bash.

Maybe someone can share our webserver for Gekko datasets? I have full history of BTC and BNB pairs from Binance in Gekko format. Size is 1,5 GB. Im downloading history of bitfinex usd pairs and coinfalcon btc pairs now. This taking a lot of time, so maybe someone want use my work.

Is it possible to change the location for the data.
i wanna saving all the data of backtest and livetrading at a nas disk ?

Hey there, 

recently I was experimenting with tulip-indicators and discovered some challenges. As I want to become more familiar with tulip, I focused on the "Bestone" strategy from here: link

As usual, results of standard settings are quite poor, so I want to perform gekkoga on it to improve. Now I am facing problems creating the correct gekkoga-config-file. Receiving error messages all the time, when starting gekkoga (Bestone strategy itself is running fine via gekko UI). 

Has anyone succeeded using gekkoga on Bestone strategy? Would be nice to share the gekkoga config file. There is something I am missing...

Cheers

edit:
I assume to have a mistake in assigning the "variables" correctly as some of them are named identically ("optInTimePeriod" for EMAshort and EMAlong and RSI). Here is an extract of my gekkoga-config-file for reference... 


candleValues: [10,12,14,16,20,30,40],
  getProperties: () => ({
    // Strat settings must be flattened and cannot be nested for mutation to work properly!

// historySize: randomExt.integer(100, 20),
  historySize: 100,
// historySize: randomExt.integer(6, 1) * 100,

//[MACD]

Hi, 

I am a new Gekko user.

I was backtesting for a few days, then tried to do a paper trade when gekko crashed.

on restart i get this:

root@41RRG5F:~# node gekko --ui

module.js:549
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module '/root/gekko'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:547:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:474:25)
    at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:693:10)
    at startup (bootstrap_node.js:188:16)
    at bootstrap_node.js:609:3


Any idea what went wrong?

Beginner's question. Sorry if it has already been asked.
If I leave the PC with gekko started in real money mode what happens if the connection is disconnected?

1) When you start the connection, restart gekko without any consequences
2) When the connection is restarted again gekko but there are problems with the candles
3) Gekko does not start again

Another question, it is true that it would be convenient to select candles at 15 minutes to start gekko exactly at xx.15, xx.30 xx.45 xx.00? the same for those for 5 minutes
xx.00 xx.05 xx.10 xx.15 and so on?

Does registration need to be tightened up? I'm seeing more new posts about buying meds than trading!

Hello,

I'm running a strategy with Gekko in UI mode, but I would like to make some improvements/tuning.
As the warmup is quite long, is there any way to modify a running strategy in Gekko ?

Cheers,
