multitrader-help needed

[Ryancoin]

Hi,

I'm a huge noob with all things gekko and java. I'm interested in gekko's ability to trade more than one currency/market at a time.

All the guidance says get the plugin from here https://github.com/roelplieger/gekko/

The only problem is I have no idea what to do after clicking on that link.

Ryan,

looks like you just download it and run it like the original gekko. it's a fork of the original code meaning somebody else downloaded the original code and modified it.

I have another low-tech solution that is working well for me.
I simply run multiple gekkos on different ports, each with it's own API key and running it's own tradebot.
You can do this just by copying the original gekko files to a new directory.
Once inside this directory search for files uiconfig - there are two of them.
Open them both up.
Inside each of them are two references to port 3000.
Amend this to a different port - say 4000 - twice in each file and save the files of course!
Run the new gekko as normal.
You will now have a second instance running on port 4000 which you can access via http://localhost:4000 rather than http://localhost:3000!
Rinse and repeat for more gekkos.
Just be aware that each one consumes resources so you want to keep an eye on that!

Assuming you are talking about live trade bots: The reason why you can't do this have nothing to do with your computer power, but instead are exchange limitations (API usage) + the fact that Gekko uses your full balance (if you trade USD/BTC it will use the full balance of both USD and BTC).

For the rest you can do as Cubit suggested - you can definitely run multiple gekkos over multiple exchange accounts.

Lol yes I should point out that all that only works if you set up lots of individual exchange accounts.
I came up with the above solution when I realized I couldn't add a second API key for the same exchange, so I have a separate exchange account, API key and gekko for each tradebot I am running!
