Hello!
I just started using gekko and deployed my first live trading bot yesterday. At the same time i started a live paper trader with the same strategy.
When i checked the results today i saw that the paper trader had made twice the amount of trades and the profits are insane.
I'm running the exact same strategy so why am i getting such a big difference? I use the bot on Binance, and set the paper traders trading fee to 0.1, is that the right value? Binance fee is 0.1%? Also paying fees with BNB giving a discount of 25%.
The trades being done by the two are similar when it comes to profit target and duration, but i do see that the trading bot is closing more orders at the same price it bought compared to the paper trader.
exchange currency asset status duration strategy PnL type trades
binance BTC VET running 19 hours, 57 minutes ----- -0.044 tradebot 82
binance BTC VET running 19 hours, 52 minutes ----- 45.374 papertrader 206
Hope someone can help me with this, i have no idea what causes the difference.
Thanks!
