I'm running it since a few weeks now on ETH Poloniex, it's giving mixed results, but generally has made a few % profit.

I started using the RSI_BULL_BEAR strategy when it was first posted and subsequently changed to the improved RSI_BULL_BEAR_ADX strategy.

My existing instances have been producing a nice return lately and I am wanting to spin up another one. As a result I downloaded to the latest version of gekko_tools and copied over the gekko-extra-indicators as per the instructions. I've also created the json file RSI_BULL_BEAR_ADX.json (placed it next to the existing toml version in gekko/config/strategies) both by using the code example posted by Kris191 earlier in this thread and also by using an online converter. However, I'm still getting the error when attempting a backtest:

This a brand new install with the latest version of Gekko, gekko_tools, gekko-extra-indicators (copied to both gekko/strategies and gekko/strategies/indicators), tulind. I'm using version 1.0.2 of talib.

I've spent hours trying to debug this Sorry to be a pain but really hoping someone can help out! Thank you for all your work so far @tommiehansen and for everyone else contributions

I'm running it since a few weeks now on ETH Poloniex, it's giving mixed results, but generally has made a few % profit.

Do you mean overall after a few weeks its profitable by a few %, or it's had a few profitable trades, but is not making a profit overall?

I hope it's the first, and that "mixed results" means there are a few (or even quite a few) loss making trades. That's to be expected!

first of all, thanks for that strategy. I really want to dive into it as it seems that this one is really promising.

However, when I'm doing a backtrack, gekko throws the following error:

I've already downloaded the additional indicators you've mentioned and moved them into the correct directory within my gekko installation. In addition to that I've also installed the tulind and talib with the help of npm in order the get right of these two messages in the first place:

Quote:TALIB indicators could not be loaded, they will be unavailable.
TULIP indicators could not be loaded, they will be unavailable.

Can you tell me how to get rid of that STC message as well? Or isn't STC needed at all in order to get the strategy working?

Thanks in advance

Mixed results are always to be expected as you say. If one backtests long periods it's easy to see that there sometimes do occur a couple of bad trades in a row etc.
No risk, no reward.
