Live Gekkos after restart

Mon, 05 Apr 2021 21:04:40 +0000

Is there a way to keep live gekkos going after i restart my raspberry pi?
I have noticed whenever i restart i have to manually restart my live gekkos and wait for the warmup to finish.
Is there a way around having to restart my live gekkos or at least the warmup? Be gentile I am a beginner.

How does Gekko look backwards?

Mon, 18 Jan 2021 16:48:42 +0000

Hi there,

i wonder, if and how Gekko looks backwards and could use "macro-data".

As i understand, Gekko starts collecting candles, when it starts to trade. However, this might not make sense, given the fact, that all historical information can be imported for backtesting purposes. Wouldn't it be possible that the bot imports such information (i.e. to have a EMA-200 ready instantly)?

I would like to include the distance to all-time-high and all-time-low into account in my strategy. Furthermore, i would be interested if it is possible that Gekko, additionally to looking at the predefined candles (e.g. daily), could additionally interpret data on a monthly basis. How does Gekko store all information and would it be possible to read from an external source?

Best,

MR PDR

Gekko Install Issue

Tue, 09 Jun 2020 18:46:38 +0000

I'm installing Gekko on Windows 10. I've installed nodejs and git correctly(I believe), and when I install the dependencies after downloading gekko through git commands I get this error message:

What am I doing wrong?

Using Docker and how could I get access to files?

Fri, 05 Jun 2020 14:45:10 +0000

Hi at all,

I have a NAS, which allows to run Docker-Cotainer. Finally I figured out, how i can run Gekko / GreenGekko.

Some Papertrading Bots are working (in most results with negative PnL ;-) )

How can I edit files e.g. config or strategies? Or use Plugins e.g. TelegramBot?

In the UI is no option for this.

Which folder should I mount as a Volume? Or how i can interact with Gekko? I still confused.

I am a Windows-User, so i thought it is a good idea to use a Container for the *nix stuff.

And which Docker-Container is maintained e.g. a green Gekko

Or is there a more common fork out there?

Many questions, i hope for some answers.

Thanks

I need clarify some things

Wed, 27 May 2020 10:24:10 +0000

Hi guys. I'm new to gekko, but i'm not new to programming. And i'm writing my first strategy)

I not found answering for my question about strategy writing.

There is method.check and some logic inside. If my logic is correct - i want place order. I'm using that method this.advice('long'/'short'). But there are two moments:
a. Paper trader simulate order to the next candle, not current
b. where/how i could specify order limits (amount/stop-loss)

In standard example my order exposed in 6 days. But in real it have to be exposed in 3 hours. How i could achieve thats?

gekko installing on rasberrypi 3

Mon, 20 Jan 2020 23:21:50 +0000

Just learned it wont install on the official distro by default.
You need to make space for it first : https://github.com/raspberrycoulis/remove-bloat (removing office etc to get yourself some GB ).

Now i got it working

another tip its easier to coppy all install commands from the web so you wont create typo's

Issue: 502 Bad Gateway when Backtesting

Mon, 09 Dec 2019 13:33:43 +0000

Hello,

I am running Gekko v0.6.8 and Gekko UI v0.2.3 and use Nginx as a reverse proxy.
I am encountering an issue when backtesting on bigger time ranges.
I did a backtest on a 11 month date range for USD <-> XRP on binance.
When I choose a range smaller than 1 month, the backtest works just fine.
If I choose a bigger range, the client gets an 502 Bad Gateway from my nginx.

The nginx error log says:
2019/12/09 08:26:40 [error] 3116#3116: *325 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 46.189.28.77, server: _, request: "GET /app.5e99ecf7.js.map HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://[::1]:3001/app.5e99ecf7.js.map", host: "censored.com"

2019/12/09 08:26:44 [error] 3116#3116: *236 upstream prematurely closed connection while reading response header from upstream, client: 46.189.28.77, server: _, request: "POST /api/backtest HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:3001/api/backtest", host: "censored.com", referrer: "http://censored.com/"

Using the RSI_BB_ADX_PEAK strategy with following params:
# SMA Trends
SMA_long = 220
SMA_short = 21

# BULL
BULL_RSI = 29
BULL_RSI_high = 76
BULL_RSI_low = 31

# BEAR
BEAR_RSI = 27
BEAR_RSI_high = 55
BEAR_RSI_low = 24

# MODIFY RSI (depending on ADX)
BULL_MOD_high = 7
BULL_MOD_low = -10
BEAR_MOD_high = 21
BEAR_MOD_low = -7

# ADX
ADX = 17
ADX_high = 75
ADX_low = 26

# Stop Loss
Stop_Loss_Percent = 15

With candle size of 5 minutes and a warmup of 220.

Is there anybody having the same issues and / or knowing a solution for it?

Thank you in advance

Show OHLC graph when Backtesting

Wed, 20 Nov 2019 23:21:58 +0000

Hi, as far as i can see there is no possibility in the current version to show a OHLC graph when backtesting.
This would really be useful when developing strategies.

Where do i need to look when i want to add a OHLC graph in the code.

As far as i can tell the charts are being made in :

gekko/web/vue/src/d3/chart3.js

so i would need to create a similar setup which renders a OHLC chart.
But from where does the chart3.js function get the data needed to chart?

Issue : sometimes, Gekko only sells part of portfolio

Mon, 11 Nov 2019 18:56:12 +0000

Greetings,

This is my first post/thread on this forum, I'm glad such a community exists !

I've been running a tradebot since a couple of weeks now, and i'm facing an issue when Gekko tries to sell my portofolio.

Sometimes, only a part of my assets is sold, and then... nothing...
The tradabot is still running, but no errors shown in log, no roundtrip information, not even a red dot on the chart.
And the worst : no more trades

Then, I waste hours and days.
Even if a buy or sell condition seems to be triggered, nah, just my market watcher updating and nothing more...
My bot becomes zombified, and I have to restart a new one.

I'm using, I guess, the latest version of Gekko v0.6.8, on Linux Mint, my exchange is Kraken, on EUR/BTC

Is this issue known ? And is there anything to do to get fix it ?

Thanks for your answers and support !

Command line to only buy or sell at

Tue, 29 Oct 2019 22:13:23 +0000

Helllo World !
no it's not a web test

i feel strange, because i think that my goal is super basic and curiously it appears to me super difficult !
i've been google plenty and i can't find an easy way to tell gekko by command line : buy that binance pair at that value or sell it

Surely i missed the correct post or thread, but would be so great to find some help

Thank you neighbors

How to retrieve balance

Sat, 14 Sep 2019 13:45:24 +0000

So far I've not seen any strategy looking at the personal balance, or any coding example.
ea all gains of trades are estimated upon candle.close math

Which is nice but at some point one could be trough all his/her invested money.
So my question how to retrieve the current balance (after a short).

Also where to set the starting balance.

Otherwise, lots of strategies dont make sense, i mean it's nice to have invested 1000 euro.
But when one loses 1500 euro in a trade and then next make 3000 profit then that could never have happened (since you where broke allready).

It seems quite vital to know the current balance.
And i would like to handle this in my strategies.

Whats the correct way to pass information from plugin to indicator

Tue, 10 Sep 2019 10:52:17 +0000

Hi there,

I have an async plugin that loads some information that is to be used by an indicator. So the indicator depends on that plugin.

How to correctly pass information from plugin to the indicator in this framework without having to resort to global variable hackery?

Thanks!

Cheers,

Plugin execution order

Tue, 10 Sep 2019 10:24:56 +0000

Hi there,

I'd like to create a plugin that acts as an advisor to my strategy. So ideally it should be updated before the strategy gets updated. This way the plugin might decide to fire off an event to which the strat is subscribed and then in the update of the strategy it uses the result of the plugin.

However I noticed that plugins seem to be updated after the strat update() and check() methods. I can add some hackery in the code to change execution code for particular plugins, but chances are that I'm probably doing something wrong.

So the question is: how to properly setup some sort of plugin that advises the main strategy, so that the main strategy can use that result in its check() or update() method?

Thanks!

How to import market

Fri, 09 Aug 2019 17:53:33 +0000

But when trying to start a new import under market is completely blank, no drop downs, nothing. I didn't seem to do anything wrong in the install too can anyone help?
