Gekko - a javascript trading bot and backtesting platform

[bitkominer]

Hi, is anyone still alive here?
I just installed gekko-stable and play around with it. Can anyone tell me how to add Heiken Ashi indicator to gekko-stable's strategy?

I found Heiken Ashi is available in another gekko branch (gekko-config_fix), but I got no result while installing it and ended up with many errors.

Hey guys just discovered this thread im also a Gekko user just experimented with the back testing and now on live trade i was playing with settings and came up with this strategie. 

Code:

// Exponential Moving Averages settings:
config.DEMA = {
  // EMA weight (α)
  // the higher the weight, the more smooth (and delayed) the line
  short: 13,
  long: 19,
  // amount of candles to remember and base initial EMAs on
  // the difference between the EMAs (to act as triggers)
  thresholds: {
    down: -1,
    up: 1
  }

It is quite conservative and does not many trades, but it is about +200% in the last 2 Month

Now i just don't figure
1. How to install talib on a windows PC and
2. is there a way to adjust the amount / percentage of available funds the bot shall spend on each Trade?
3. How can i combine strategies for example a Fibo Retracement wit an DEMA or something?

Cheers

Is there an elaborated documentation?

I'm looking for docs for understanding each function and what it does..
For example in the MACD, the "short","long" indicators I dont know if it by days/hours... And in general what each parameter stand for, it's very unclear to beginners.. The TA-lib indicators site isn't helpful either since it only elaborate the functions without any explanation & parameters details.

Can someone assist?

I agree with this- I just don't know what the parameters mean. I was able to install and set it up after a few attempts but the programming and numbers don't mean much to me- would the developer be able to give easy examples as to what parameters to change on different strategies?

I backtested your strategy on ETHBTC (poloniex) from 2016-06-30 to 2017-04-15 15:59 and got a whopping 64% profit :p

HI. Do you think is possible to do what I asked in the post above?

[whydifficult]

In the next version of Gekko you can (using limit orders), right now you would have to implement in your strategy (which is anything but realtime, but it works).

Any idea what I might have done wrong.  These are my settings

DEMA
short = 13
long = 19

[thresholds]
down = -1
up = 0.75

To me, it looks like I am buying low, and selling high, so what am I misunderstanding?

Does anyone know how to combine strategy's ?
For example if I want to combine CCI & RSI and they crosslines sell or buy?

[dragonsfire1981]

Is there a way to use the Ichimoku method with this? Someone I know is designing an Ichimoku bot and is interested in doing tests with Gekko.

Here is a video explaining how to install on windows, meant for users not very experienced with commandlines / terminals.

Finally managed to install it thanks to this video. Got plenty of errors and crashes as well, but that's normal on my machine  Thank you! Can't wait to start doing some tests with it once I understand how it works
