START Gekko with CURRENCY OR ASSET ?

[susitronix]

I startet two liveGekko but only one made a trade.

gekko --ui (two Stratrunner)
kraken
binance

The one who had Asset instead of Currency was not starting...
So i stopt and restartet both with Currency to begin with..!
And Voila now both made one LONG trade for me to see that she works.

ENYONE PLEASE CORRECT ME

THANKS MIKE

Yep - when starting a live gekko trader, I make sure that i have both, asset and currency in my account (ratio depending on current trend). E.g.  i just buy/sell a very small amount so gekko is satisfied for the current trend it starts in

Sounds intresting but i startet with CURRENCY ONLY, BECAUSE.
Gekko then makes the CORRECT PROFIT CALCULATION.

Its the starting Balance where gekko begin with the PROFIT LOG.
So it does NOT hurt the liveGekko when i deposit or withdraw while its at work,
only mess up the profit log

ok, understood, good point! But not that important to me since i do my own overall profit tracking since i often restart the live gekkos based on parameter tuning..
