Running Gekko as a taker

[askmike]

Could you not gather up the data in real-time and stash that centrally so that it could be used for backtesting purposes, perhaps as part of the Gekko Plus service?

Yes that's on the roadmap. But I'm definitely more up for open source first. So I don't want to offer a paid version which is a lot better than the open source version since I have all the data needed to run proper simulations.

Also note that in markets without decent liquidity it's very hard to make money with a Gekko like system (unless it only trades long term, eg. less than once every few days).
