Backtesting CommandLines vs UI - aorfevrebr - 01-15-2018
Hi,
I'm new to Gekko universe, and I'm facing a strange issue.
I've different results from Gekko backtesting from Command Line and UI.
First all; here is my config file :
Code:
config.watch = {
// see https://gekko.wizb.it/docs/introduction/supported_exchanges.html
exchange: 'binance',
currency: 'BTC',
asset: 'BNB',
// You can set your own tickrate (refresh rate).
// If you don't set it, the defaults are 2 sec for
// okcoin and 20 sec for all other exchanges.
// tickrate: 20
}
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// CONFIGURING TRADING ADVICE
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
config.tradingAdvisor = {
enabled: true,
method: 'RSI',
candleSize: 1,
historySize: 3,
adapter: 'sqlite'
}As you can see; I launch it for BTC/BNB datas with strategy called RSI
Command line results gives the following :
Code:

This is confusing as number of trades and profit is very different.
Anyone has an idea on the issue ?
RE: Backtesting CommandLines vs UI - askmike - 01-16-2018
When you set the config for the commandline to candle size: 1, you are setting it to 1 minute. Can you confirm that you also set it to 1 minute in the UI (1 hour is the same as 60 in the config).
