Good questions!
> how will Gekko perform the orders on the exchanges ? are they market orders or limit orders ? and if they are limit orders, and they don't trigger (the price moved very fast) will it cancel the order or not? and if they are Market Orders, will it consider the Advice price as the start or the real price that it was able to get on the exchange ?
There currently is only one execution strategy and it is explained here: https://gekko.wizb.it/docs/introduction/...n-strategy
There is an active discussion on making this more extensible, see here: https://github.com/askmike/gekko/pull/18...-362974808
> is it possible to make Gekko run Margin Orders (in Bitfinix for example!) or will it always run an exchange order?
Not possible for now, profit calculations are a lot more complex because of the new number of variables (like interest).
> I understand that I have to change the config files for every Livetrade Setup (to add the different APIs if I am using different exchanges, and to add different parameters for the same strategy or different strategies.. IS THIS right?
You usually only have to create a new config file and point gekko to that one when you start it: node gekko -c my-other-config.js
Especially if you only run say 3 different ones (on linux) and see how it goes from there.
