ok, so im totally new to all this. i know how to trade crypto but have never used a bot.
right now i have got to this stage.
i have gekko installed and can get the home page and do data importing and backtesting
i have a api key and a secret.
so i have the following questions.
when selecting a strategy, i can change the parameters. but i have no idea what they mean.
eg, MACD has threshold parameters like "down = -0.025" , but what does this mean in english?
CCI has "# constant multiplier. 0.015 gets to around 70% fit constant = 0.015" , but what does it mean ?
i dont understand how to set a max trade size. i dont want to try the bot as a test only to see it sell all my crypto, how do i set a limit to what it can spend?
how do i stop a live gekko? it only has a start button but there seems to be no stop button? if something goes wrong i want to be able to stop it.
