An official Gekko service is coming soon: gekkoplus.com

[gekko2yuno]

Hi
I have packaged a gekko package for yunohost.org . Yunohost can support multiple gekko instances with nginx password and SSO implementation. It also have postfix for email and matronome for xmpp.
It can run on your own server and maybe able to provide web service to different users with SSO. I have just started to use it myself, so I am in learning phase for gekko.
I don't know if it would be helpful or write place to write. Here is the package : https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/gekko_ynh

Thanks

Hi Mike,

I guess one of the biggest improvements for Gekko would be the possibility to short trade. I see the therms long and short being used everywhere but what they actually mean is just buy and sell.  From years of experience with automatic trading I know that it's almost impossible to create a winning strategy based on just buy and sell. 

Best,
Paul

Great point, I definitely want to offer this at some point. However it's quite hard, see this comment for why: https://forum.gekko.wizb.it/thread-1516-...l#pid57452

Not sure what you mean by "winning" strategies, but I always try to build strategies that beat the market without taking on the full risk (since everytime you sell you are not exposed to the price going down).

Do you own gmail.con? Not too sure, I am using a service called mailchimp, never had problems with them before.

Mike, this looks very promising

Hey Mike,

a great idea and a logical step.
I do have some concerns though you might address and consider.

I believe it is hard to gain the trust of the people that want to trade live without having a reputable company and funding backing this adventure. In many ways their money could go poof. Of course i am not talking about the general trading risks.

Strategy-wise i believe the user expectations are very high using a paid service, meaning the current default strats just won't cut it. Probably you will have to throw in all AI, GA, machine learning into it that is ready to fly from constant backtests. If you make them customizable, like you say, you're exposing trade secrets. You know there are people selling gekko and strats.

I trust it will gain popularity and that might be not desired by some. What's to stop an exchange from attempting to block your service?

As much as i like the idea and would want to join, i believe you should also continue improving the stand alone version. I'd pay for that too.
Given the choice i'd prefer to run it as a daemon on my own hardware. Ideally both remain with the same functionality.
