> I am working on a pull request to bring some websocket support into Gekko which should be able to bring the orderbook into gekko in near real-time.
Keep in mind that Gekko is not designed to be millisecond fast: if you want to act upon things happening within a second you are looking at different kind of tradebot. I think it will be hard to design Gekko for general trendwatching (hourly candles or so) while also providing subsecond speed capabilities.
One of the main issues being that within Gekkos core candles are always 1 minute, it would require a huge change to update this.
