Gekko's power does not come from the default strategies! Gekko is a system people can use to try out a few example strategies that come with it or build their own. Automated trading is hard and the markets are getting more mature every day.
If you want to play around and experiment with the example strategies: that's fine! Gekko offers two ways to do this without risking any real money (the backtester and the paper trader). If you find something that works you might even try it for real with a small sum of money (not recommended, but most people in crypto like taking risks). But most serious Gekko users develop their own strategies and don't like to share them (why share a money making strategy?).
