Hey, 

Just to let you know :
From time to time, I had this error fired :
{ Error: SQLITE_CORRUPT: database disk image is malformed errno: 11, code: 'SQLITE_CORRUPT' }

It looks like the importer failed at some point ( perhaps just because my computer turned to standby mode, or I quit Gekko while importing ).

In the end, I had a corrupted table in my database, that I've just erased, and it looks fine for now.

Its possible? Now backtest use only 1 thread. NN strats tests take a lot time. Maybe when supporting other cpu cores will be better.

After posting a few results from gekkoga, I've received quite a few questions from people struggling to get it working - I thought I'd answer them all at once here!

I have no affiliation with gekkoga at all - it has been created by http://gekkowarez.com, and is hosted on github here - all credit goes to them! I'm also not an expert by any means, but I have managed to get it working!

1. Strategy (line 4): This has to match exactly (case sensitive) the name of the strategy you want to run the GA on.
   
2. Exchange (line7): name of the exchange as it appears in the Gekko UI.
   
3. Asset and Currency (8,9): The trading pair to use.
   
4. Date Range(12+): If you only have one period of data to backtest on, leave it as 'scan'. If you have more than one period, enter the start and finish dates and uncomment/comment the relevant lines.
   

• Start gekko - I use "node gekko --ui" as I find it useful to see the available history and be able to run UI backtests on the parameters that gekkoga finds. The server.js command recommended by gekkoga always crashes for me!
  
• In a second terminal window navigate to gekko/gekkoga and enter "node run --config config/your-config-here.js"
  

Hello everyone and thank you for creating this fantastic forum. 
I have a newbie question.
How can I add Bitstamp to the list of supported excange for data importing?

It would be great if you could add a function in the UI on both the backtesting screen and also realtime where you could change the amount of times the bot retries orders if not filled (fully)

also maybe to change the amount of time before the bot will attempt a retry?

cheers

Hi all, I'm a Gekko newbie and so far I love it!

I have some questions I hope I can get answered.

1. I see that DEMA has been recently changed to a new formula. I don't quite understand what the new DEMA strategy does. Is it possible to still do the old 10/21 candles EMA strategy? If so, how?

2. Is there any way to visualize the indicators on a graph through the UI? Like with the 10/21 EMAs, it would be nice to actually see the EMA lines on a graph to see where it crosses over, and where Gekko gets triggered for a buy/sell.

3. My config that I'm using has a warmup period. But say I want to restart Gekko to change some parameters, is there a way for it to just use the data from previous runs of Gekko without having to do another inactive warmup period? I guess I'm asking if Gekko saves real-time data it's getting from the exchange so it can be used for warmup by the next run of Gekko.

4. Is there any way to change a parameter in the config in real-time while Gekko is running? Like say the candle-size or weight?

I would uninstall Gekko and reinstall it (I think I did some damage lol).
Is it possible to save all the backtesting data that I recovered from the various excange?
Thanks for any answers!

I found info about this indicators at Taiwan's Gekko telegram group: http://charts.woobull.com/bitcoin-nvt-ratio/

Is looking interesing.

Hello, I've got this strategy that in theory works out okay in my head, but I'm wondering if it can be applied in real world using 5 live traders.

     USDT
      /     \
    /         \
ETH <> BTC
    \         /
       \    /
   ALT Coin

Here are the indicators I'm looking to use:
BTC/ALT
ETH/ALT
BTC/ETH
USDT/BTC
USDT/ETH

Each strategy  would probably have it's own custom strategy variables applied to it.


Here's an example, lets say I'm currently holding ALT, the idea being trade ETH/ALT, if it sells into ETH but after a day or so BTC is doing better than ETH and ALT still isn't doing great, the BTC/ETH will switch into BTC.
If ALT starts doing better again than BTC, (which was recently better and traded over from ETH) the BTC/ALT will buy back into ALT again.
Alternatively, if the market takes a turn for the downside while sitting in BTC for example, ideally ALT's losses would also be greater than BTC and the USDT/BTC strategy would switch into USDT.
Now if the market starts recovering, perhaps ETH is out performing BTC and then the USDT/ETH picks up the trade first.
Now if ALT is also recovering faster than ETH, my ETH/ALT trades back into ALT for me again.

Rinse and repeat.

My thought is if the assets are sitting in ALT, my USDT/BTC strategy won't care because both assets would be zero, and ALT would trade into either BTC to ETH, depending on which indicator is triggered first. But still being able to go between BTC/ETH if sitting on the ALT sidelines so to speak.

Any insight on how to best technically accomplish this? Is it okay to run all 5 at the same time within the UI?
I saw somewhere else in the forum this may be possible if running multiple strategies through the UI?
I may have read somewhere gekko doesn't work the greatest running more than one strategy at once? If that is correct, in theory if I had 5 different virtual machines each running one strategy would it be okay to do this? i.e. running live strategies while both assets for some of those strategies might be zero for some time.

Thanks!

I am able to do Paper Trade perfectly but when I switch to Bot Trade, I am getting the below error:
Gekko encountered an error and can't continue
Error:
Bitstamp says this API keys is invalid..

meta debug info:
Gekko version: v0.5.12
Nodejs version: v8.9.4

I also try to delete the API and regenerated a new one and also did that in the config but no luck.
Can someone please help?
