Hi, same problem here... I'm trying to test my strategy but I cant see how to put it on work in gekko ui...

in the documentations says:
Strategy rules:
You can activate your own strategy by setting config.tradingAdvisor.strategy to custom (or whatever you named your file inside the gekko/strategies) in the loaded config.

But I realy dont know what this mean...

Edit: I know that if I edit the custom strategy I can run it... but this small detail is really pissing me off... I could put gekko to run on windows in 5 minutes but can't put my strategy in the list in an entirely morning...

Thats more or less what you're supposed to do.

Are you sure they have the proper .js extension, and they're not .js.txt?
The .toml and the .js file need to be named the same (prior to the extension).

This only matters if you are running the command line gekko instances. If you are using the UI then you can ignore this bit. The instructions above should get it to work.
