  Strategy gives other results on Raspberry Pi than Windows pc
Posted by: ddvos - 10-05-2018, 08:22 AM - Forum: Technical Discussion - Replies (3)

Hello,

Could it be possible to get other results on a Raspberry Pi than a Windows pc?

On Windows, I get a 21% profit where it is on my Raspberry Pi only 4,6% profit. The strategy I use is exactly the same and so are the settings.

I hope someone can help me

Smile Can Gekko make decisions based on purely OCHL?
Posted by: streetlaw - 10-05-2018, 12:50 AM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (42)

I'm trying to set up my strategy so that it can buy when price is X amount of USDT above the previous candle's high and sell when price reaches my target, ex. my entry price + my target.

I don't want to use any indicators at all. Is it possible to make trades based on the previous candle's OCHL data and the current price?

Thanks.


  [HELP] Cancel Order with API Binance / PHP
Posted by: hansaplast - 10-04-2018, 02:12 PM - Forum: Binance - No Replies

Excuse me first of all for my level of English, the French are null in languages.
I am developing a trading robot but I am having difficulty with the Binance API concerning a cancel order.

The binance API asks me for a SIDE parameter. Out of the binance document, the only SIDE parameters are "BUY" and "SELL"
https://github.com/binance-exchange/bina...est-api.md

In principle, no "SIDE" to cancel an order, despite everything, I have the following result:
Array ([code] => -1102 [msg] => Mandatory parameter 'side' was not sent, was empty / null, or malformed.)

My PHP code is as follows:
$opt = [
"symbol" => "VETBTC",
"orderId" => 12345,
"timestamp" => 1538639865908
];
return $this-> signedRequest ("v3 / order", $opt, "DELETE");

I need a hand :-) Thank you.  Big Grin


  Data Importing from CLI
Posted by: Piff_Sara - 10-04-2018, 05:08 AM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (4)

Hi everybody! 

Maybe this is a dummy question, but I'm not enough pro to understand some topics yet...

Please tell me if I'm wrong: 

suppose that i want to perform a backtest from 1-1-2018 to 30-1-2018 with 1Day candles using a 60 SMA and let's suppose that i've already downloaded the mentioned time window previously. What does the CLI do? In my mind the CLI takes the already downloaded data (from 1st to 30th of Jan in this case) and downloads on itself 30 days more (in this case from 2nd to 31st of Dec 2017), because it needs a warmup to calculate the SMA. Then it stitches those 2 downloads as one big time window from 2-12-2017 to 30-1-2018. Is that correct?


Then: I saw some vids on youtube and read some threds on here... sometimes I see someone that says that also UI doesn't need any warmup and sometimes i see someone saying the contrary... which is the truth?? If UI doesn't need a warmup, why does it ask you to input this value?

Huh


PS: a big thanks to mike for this awesome work. Never seen such a good trading bot for crypto.

Cheers!


  dynbuysell with new candle as trigger
Posted by: spamjq38 - 10-02-2018, 03:36 AM - Forum: Strategy Development - Replies (1)

Hello,

           A little help with dynbuysell, please. I am looking to alter the code within the dynbuysell to allow for a new candle to be generated before a new buy order is issued.  Is anyone interested in this type of modification? 

Dynbuysell works great but constantly buys regardless of the buy_at_up setting.  The result is a buy after it sells, as the trend may be in an up swing. This causes the strategy to stay with a buy for long periods of trading time.

  [discussion] Supporting market orders in live trading
Posted by: askmike - 09-30-2018, 06:16 PM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (12)

When live trading Gekko handles signals from your strategy. Your strategy can signal to buy or sell. When it does Gekko will kick of a trade execution using a sticky order: This is an advanced order type (internal to Gekko) which will try to buy (or sell) using limit orders at the ticker/top of the book/bbo.

Gekko ignores the candle price at the time your strategy fired the buy (or sell) signal. This because that price is simply the last trade price of the last traded candle. (Which by definition is never the price of the last trade, but the second last or even older).

In other words: when your strategy decides to buy, Gekko will pull the ticker (current top of the orderbook) and place an order at this top. When Gekko places a bid (to buy) and the price moves UP gekko will keep moving this bid higher until it's completely filled.

------

This is a very conservative strategy, an other (and simpler) approach is to create market orders: this way you can buy (or sell) straight away, trading with people currently offering to trade in the orderbook. This works great when you trade on a big market (for example USD/BTC on bitfinex), but terrible when you trade on a small alt market. Mainly because of two costs involved: crossing the spread and eating slippage. These costs can be as high as 3% (but only on a small market).


I uploaded a video where I explain these costs:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0yc1sonYvo

------

To guard against this risk, specifically for new users who are not aware of the details behind executing trades Gekko currently does NOT support market orders at all. Though a lot of people have been requesting it, so here is a discussion: How can Gekko support market orders, while minimizing the risk to new traders losing all their money in a few days?


  Help writing strategy node.js
Posted by: djmeeg - 09-30-2018, 03:38 PM - Forum: Strategy Development - No Replies

Hi Everyone, 

I am fairly new to Gekko. I would like to write a custom strategy for it. I am not a coder so was hoping people could point me in the right direction. My strategy is fairly simple but needs to compare several markets at the same time and also fetch information from the API of the exchange to query. Such as Order book and volume along with price etc. Then after running its logic send the long or short signal to gekko. 

Please if anyone could help please get in touch


Thumbs Up Eliminate warm up time
Posted by: jasonbtc - 09-29-2018, 09:31 PM - Forum: Technical Discussion - Replies (3)

Is there a way to eliminate warm-up time ?
Such as downloading recent history instead of waiting (usually for several days) for the market watcher to warm up ? Because this is really inconvenient! 

When I run gekko from linux command line, sometimes it uses local available history.
This is not the case when i run gekko from the UI on a windows server - it always spins up a new market watcher and wait for warm-up. Different modules are called depending on how gekko is executed ?


Thumbs Up Running more than one tradebot per exchange.

Hi Guys, 

Why we not able to run more than 1 tradebot per exchange? I believe there should be a technical obstacle in this matter.. Could someone please explain the obstacle, lets try to implement this Smile
