New Gekko UI in the works

[askmike]

Do you guys think it's a good idea to reveal good strategies to everyone? That means they won't really work if everyone uses them. Second question, will gekko plus be fully free?

Exactly what @mark.sch said!

I am not sure if community is willing to expose their best working strategies to a foreign, hosted service, we will see. Sometimes strategies need additional core changes/features to work, they will not work with gekko plus out of the box.

Yes this is exactly the dilemma we have right now with open source Gekko. It's an open project and a lot of people like and use it. However if you create a very successful strategy, why would you ever share it? You even risk your strategy not working anymore since too many people use it or other people counter trade it.

This is the dilemma Gekko Plus will solve: it's a paid service with a market place for strategies, see here: https://app.gekkoplus.com/strategies

So everyone can upload their strategies and the platform will simulate and show historical performances to everyone. If you see a strategy you like you can become a Gekko Plus user and run that strategy on your exchange account. Some money goes to me (for the server costs, my time, etc) and some money goes to the person who created the strategy.

In that new system: if you now have a successful strategy you can upload it to the market place, it will still be secret (no one will ever have access to the code) and if it performs well enough and people decide to run it you will make money from subscription fees.
