The only official way of downloading it is via the official Github repo here:

https://github.com/askmike/gekko

Find all information about different official versions and releases here:

https://gekko.wizb.it/docs/installation/...ding-Gekko

If you download Gekko from any other source you might get infected with malware. Today I discovered a youtube video with a download link to a malware loaded version of Gekko, you can find the details here (but be sure to NOT download from any of the links found there).

Be smart and safe everyone! Even if you download from the official repo it is still advised to not run any software on systems that also contain other private information (like crypto wallets) or not to connect it to your exchange account unless you fully understand what you are doing. Gekko is great at simulating trades with fake money, and it runs great in a VM as well.]]>

In order to make Gekko more accessable for everyone (also non technical users) I am going to make an online web service where users can sign up and manage their own Gekkos. No installation or complicated configuration (no more config files)! No more need to keep your computer running at night to run Gekko.

[Image: 38608697-41c9306a-3da6-11e8-94c2-c3c5b9d6b4a1.png]

This will be a paid service, with the money earned I can justify working on Gekko a lot more (It's getting a bit out of hand with constantly growing community). Note that this will in no (negative) way impact the free and open source version of Gekko. Gekko will always stay free to download and use as a standalone tool.

I am still ironing out the details and will post more here as soon as I know it!

To be sure to stay up to date regarding subscribe on the Gekkoplus Website here.

EDIT:

Quote:I just released the public alpha here!

It's quite static still but over the next few days I have some massive updates planned!

Quote:The Alpha of Gekko Plus has just been released, it includes most screens of the new UI!

Here is the link: https://app.gekkoplus.com/

Here is a video where I go over it: https://youtu.be/AFyU16l6Q6c

EDIT1:

Quote:The new UI has been completely designed by a professional visual designer. You can find a sneak peak on the coming soon website: https://gekkoplus.com/

Gekko currently has a graphical user interface, this already is a major improvement from the commandline only version. However the current UI is still very basic and missing a lot of very important information (and functionality). On top of that there are also some display bugs hard to fix with the current infrastructure.

We are pleased to announce a new UI is in the works! It will display a lot more information (specifically when it comes to live running Gekkos).

There is a public discussion on the forum about it here: https://forum.gekko.wizb.it/thread-65.html

Technical work has started, with the first step being a rework on the event flow between Gekko plugins (such as the trader, strategy advisor) and the UI. You can follow progress here: https://github.com/askmike/gekko/pull/1850]]>
