Proportional Balance
#1
Hi all,

I know that there are a few discussions about this topic but I didn't find out if this is possible or not - and if yes, how this can be achieved...

Right now I'm working on a strategy that works great in FOREX trading and I want to verify if this would work in crypto markets, as well.

The (FOREX) strategy gets open and close signals for long and short positions; i. e. the first signal opens a long/short position, the second one closes it. The sequence of trades is always long - short - long - short ... (as it only opens one position per up/down trend).

As gekko creates - more or less - "market" orders this requires a trade sequence (long) buy - sell - (short) sell - buy - (next long) buy - sell ... But, gekko always uses the whole balance for every trade and therefore it's not possible to create two similar trades back-to-back!

Befor I spend too much time I kindly ask the gekko professionals if there is a way (sure, in changing the functionality by programming (?)) to tell gekko that only e. g. 50% of the current balance should be used for every trade! If yes, where can I change this behaviour?

Many thanks for your support.

Best regards,
Christian
