Hi friends, I'm very impressed with your project so I would like to make a question or proposition if you didn't think about it...

I trade altcoins but also indices and stocks and I have my own strategies. So... Have you thought about creating new broker integrations such as IG Markets or Interactive Brokers? I think it would be a great expansion for gekko and all trading community.

I would thank you if you think about it.

Thanks a lot and best regards.

When I install Gekko Broker's dependencies on cmd.exe there's an error message and I can't install it. I'm attaching the log of the failed installation and I'm waiting for your help.
Thanks,

On the Gekko UI I'm running a live trade bot. On the Strat runner page under the Runtime display it says: Watch Since 2018-12-25 03:57

I was running the bot based on 1 hour and I know it will start process after the warm-up period. 

Does that mean its going to check a candle against my strategy at:

(A)
2018-12-25 04:57
2018-12-25 05:57
2018-12-25 06:57
etc... 

or is it smart enough to

(B)
2018-12-25 05:00
2018-12-25 06:00
2018-12-25 07:00
etc... on the hour?

 If it is (A) does that mean the only way to start it on the hour is to hit the start button exactly on the clocks hour?

Hi guys,
I've installed the Backtesting Tool of XFFFF and it's GREAT, but i have some issues:

1) The backtesting itself works but not at 100%. Everytime in 1 run i execute 1 backtest (therefore i just run 1 backtest, on 1 pair, on 1 exchange, on 1 time window), i see the following errors. This doesn't appear if in 1 run i execute >1 backtests (e.g. when i vary the values of a parameter in the strategy from X to Y).

2) The second issue I'm facing regards the importing function that just doesn't work. The program get stuck during importing. The only thing i changed in the code is a pair of lines because i saw that the system was pointing towards the wrong folders (this is what i did --> https://github.com/xFFFFF/Gekko-BacktestTool/issues/45). Unfortunately this was not enough and i still get stuck.

3) And finally, the BT tool cannot generate a CSV file. It generates a file, but not a CSV. It generates like a blank file that put into Excel gives a very messy table that must be clean.

I'm pretty sure the installing went well, because the backtest itself works... but the rest just works bad or not at all.
Can please anyone help me??

Cheers!

I'm running gekko and it works great till now. But when I browsing gekko's code I found in the exchange/bitfinex.js (I'm dealing with that exchange) the getTrades is implemented as:
...
Trader.prototype.getTrades = function(since, callback, descending) {
......
if(since)
path += '?limit_trades=2000';
const handler = cb => this.bitfinex.trades(path, this.handleResponse('getTrades', cb));
retry(null, handler, processResponse);
......
}
...
It looks like value of "since" timestamp is skipped and it's just used to add a limit_trades=2000 to the API call. I tried to debug the code and that API call never returned entries more than 100.
I understand value of "since" is discarded because it's not supported by exchange, but what will happen if there's a flood of trades, say the trade rate reaches 1000/seconds. Given the getTrade API is call every 20 seconds by default, it looks like gekko will have a difficult time to generate correct candle in that case.

Could you guys please clarify if my speculation above is correct? It raises some concern about correctness of the trading bot .

I'm surprised I wasn't able to find anything on this topic, maybe I'm blind or it's so obvious that it's embarrassing to ask, either way it's the internet so here goes: 

I'm looking for Gekko to monitor the top 3 performers on Binance (highest 24 hour rise in price). If one of the coins meets my requirements (very simple requirements), Gekko will auto start my trading strategy for that coin, otherwise it will remain idle and continue to monitor. 

Is this possible? and if so could you point me in the right direction. I don't mind a challenge if it will be difficult to achieve. 

Thanks so much for your development. Gordon would be proud

Is there any possible way to transfer to and from a hardware wallet or a web wallet? I know having this information stored on a computer is bad but if it's cryptographically protected through the application I could see it working so long as nobody knew how to get ahold of the two-way cipher. Please let me know if this is at all feasible.

Thank you Mike for this excellent program.

Backtest tools for Gekko

CLI tools help to put together testing and optimizing strategies that extend the Gekko's Trading Bot capabilities – and thus you may get the most of it, and see what combinations were the best and the worst backed up by statistics.

The results appear in a CSV report file. It provides key statistics describing the overall performance of the selected strategies over the chosen historical timing of the simulation.

Hello,

since you can write your own API's for diffrent exchanges, I wondered if it would be possible to trade fiat currencys.

Would this be technicly possible? 
What is about trading with margin? Can Gekko do this?

Hi! 
Could you please tell me how I can add function Stop Loss into TSI strategy.
Thanks!
