With subscription (API savety) its FREE for the first month.
Its nice i like it alot

sounds good, but I like Tradingview as overview more (without trades or exchange connection), since it is also community based and therefore has a lot of user ideas, indicators and strategys to learn from and program/adapt yourself using the pine editor. In the end, I set it up more of like a chart overview to see all the data my Gekko live-strats are also seeing (since gekko UI chart is not as rich atm) - it helps keeping track of what's going on.

Hello, first of all this is a wonderful strategy! I'm really impressed with the results! Thank you for sharing!
The only thing I've noticed with some yearly back testing is that after a large spike, sometimes it buys near the top and then doesn't sell for quite a while during a correction.
There was a couple times a trade was a 30%+ loss. This has happened with a few different pairings.
My thought was, how easy would it be to code in a stoploss after lets say 10%? Would that be possible?
Or is it possible there a glitch when it switches longer term trends that it gets stuck in a trade position?
Regards

[susitronix]

If you tell Gekko in the config.js that you:

CONFIG.PAPERTRADER : ENABLE = TRUE
CONFIG.TRADER : ENABLE = TRUE

then gekko dont know if you like to start a Backtest OR a Stratrunner.
Gekko will only run ONE BOT PER CLI-cmd.

A stoploss has already been tried and written about in this thread.
I've also theorized about why it is a poor idea and why the performance is always worse when implemneting such a thing
in the current strategy.

You could try the newer modification with ADX, it still will have negative trades from time to time though.

[Nima]

Thank you,
i have tried the strategy. It is working well but seems to make losses in a sideward movement (no trend).

[rogelpm]

If you tell Gekko in the config.js that you:

CONFIG.PAPERTRADER : ENABLE = TRUE
CONFIG.TRADER : ENABLE = TRUE

then gekko dont know if you like to start a Backtest OR a Stratrunner.
Gekko will only run ONE BOT PER CLI-cmd.

It is the same error again after changing the CONFIG.PAPERTRADER : ENABLE = FALSE. I run  node gekko --config config.js.
