For my understanding: Isn't a stop-loss decision from the broker similar to a manual sell execution? It "disturbs" the backtested strategy. I also sometimes thought that a bigger candle size does not match the need for quick decisions, but a candle size of e.g. 1hr still fits best into the overall strategy. What about a variable candle size, e.g. after a long position, switch into a five minute candle size, in this case Gekko will be very reactive to losses. I can imagine some new events to reconfigure Gekko without restarting will be useful.
