It's a good start, but I'm afraid one month of backtesting doesn't cover nearly enough of the market behavior to determine whether the strategy will be successful in live trading. Even back testing on all the data that exists for the market doesn't mean you can predict the future behavior, but it give you a better chance...
The gdax EUR:ETH pair has been trading for almost 9 months I believe - download as much of that data as you can for the backtesting.
You also need to consider the market movement in the results. 9% in a bear market where the market price dropped 20% in the same time period would be impressive, 9% in a bull market where the market price increased by 9% would be loosing you money vs holding. The percentage calculations given by Gekko are against your initial holdings, not taking into account the market.
