Hello, guys.
I wanna know does anyone face a situation which bot does not make any trades?
Gekko is running over 4-5 days but never make any trades.
I use default setting of portfoliomanager.js
I did not change any important files for running gekko.
Is there any chance to get how to run gekko properly?
Thank you
Hi, I can not install talib. I'm not good at programming but I understand that it serves to use gekko strategies. Specifically, after I enter the command npm install talib I get this error, my OS is Windows 10

I want to use 2 live trade bots on the same Binance account to trade USDT-BTC and ETH-BNB with 2 different strategies I wrote.
The problem is I can only add 1 API per exchange (which is fine, since it's only one Binance account), but when the first trade bot is running, Gekko will not allow to start a second trade bot on the same exchange.
Is there a way around this? Because an API will allow you to trade multiple pairs on the same exchange.
Right now it's quite a hassle, because I need a new rasberry pi for each trade bot I want to run for each new pair, since you can also only run 1 Gekko per system.
The other issue I have is that in papertrade you see red and green dots in the graph when de bot sells and buys, but in the live trade bot graph I don't see any buy and sell dots even though it has bought and sold (I checked it in my binance account).
Is this a know bug? And will it be updated in the new version?
I've stumbled upon Gekko and I find this project very interesting and very well developed.
I've dug into the codebase to understand internals and it seems that everything is more and less clear to me and I really think that this architecture is great! Yes, probably something would be better - as askmike already wrote - but its flexibility seems awesome to me.
I tried to build a strategy that, in some ways resembles what I was doing manually for my day trading strategy and I did without particolar efforts. What I was searching for were two functionalities that I couldn't find:
1. support and resistance indicators on X candles, this means that I would need to know which are those levels since, for example, 10 minutes, 1 hour, 12 hours, 1 day. I couldn't find anything about it: am I right?
2. capability to know, inside a strategy, the price @ which I bought an asset, in order to know my limit price and top-profit price.
i using this strategy and its always work
using the BB indicator , LTC\USTD , 1 min chart .
i choose the last price that the candle touch the lower BB line , and open buy order and wait the price to come down to it , then when the buy already done , i see where BB upper line where and open sell order and wait while the price go up .
so the code have to check when the price hit the lower bb line to buy , then save the upper bb band on that point , then when the if ( price = upper bb for the previous buying price) { sell ; }
im sorry about my bad english . this strategy always work for me , the problem is i dont know how to automate it .
There is one thing i will say here.
Gekko is working perfect en calculating the strategy's. He is waiting for the best moments.
When i do self a trade, i was buy or sell to early. Now Gekko is making money for me.
Askmike...Thanks for this program...you'r a great man.
