Gekko CLI - Unable to buy for ETH/USD on Gemini - crypto49er - 06-17-2018
Hi all,
I know Gemini isn't a popular exchange (at least not talked about much in this forum). I'm trying to set it because I want to have a "set it and forget it" place to let Gekko do its thing and I will just check once a month on the performance of the strat.
So I just started live trading on Gekko CLI on Gemini the other day and I'm getting this error message. Anyone else experience this error message before? Any fixes? I will share my solution if I find it. Thanks.

Just an update, I gave up on using Gemini as it charges 0.75% trading fee. That's 3x Coinbase Pro's taker fee (maker is still 0.0%). The Winklevii's are being ridiculous. I know they were charging 0.25% a few months back but I guess they are not seeing any volume so they decided to up their fee.
