Gekko - a javascript trading bot and backtesting platform

[Weishaupt]

Trying to get the Gekko IRC Bot working..


there is no port? and also it does not work as default either.

This is my config i added port: cause i use another one from the original (8067)

config.ircbot = {
  enabled: true,
  emitUpdates: false,
  channel: '#freespeech',
  server: 'something.ddns.net',
  port: '8067',
  botName: 'gekkobot'
}


But nothing happens and i see no logs.

Great javascript btw! made profits with RSI.

Hi,

Is there a way to feed manual signals to the bot and have it trade automatically. Lets say I can feed in some json with exchange, symbol, buy, sell? I looked through the documentation but its a little confusing. I love the project and feel that it has potential to become a very useful tool.

Is there a way to import pine scripts from tradingview into gekko?

Okay, good to know. It's still usable for CEX.IO botting.

Two features would make this bot _REALLY_ usable:

1) Intelligent buying GHS on certain times a day, watching the market and buying when the bot things is cheapest using (MACD|DEMA|X). This could be configurable for instance like just watch and report or even alert via mail when the bot things the time is right. Or just tell the bot to at least try to enforce buy once a certain treshhold is hit, disregarding certain minimal losses just to get the mining going.

2) More importantly: Selling GHS for BTC when the market goes downward a certain % in a certain time period, just to minimize losses. This could be fixed in the config file and should be easy to develop. Just a simple sell API call like "IF GHS<0.0073 RUN EMERGENCYSELLOFF();". The more advanced technique would be that the bot tracks which prices he bought for and you tell him for instance that when the threshhold of your average GHS/BTC value drops below -10% then just sell and hold, wait for admin input.

Thanks Sarah!

This bad guy works, although it seems to me something very unusual and a bit strange. Do you use Gekko, people? Watch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb9G9pLEk1M

Okay, not having Gekko running is driving me nuts. .2BTC to whoever gets my Lithuanian Linux Gekko running.

Sounds doable. 0.5BTC bounty and I can implement it.

Hello,
I need 2 strategies to implement in Gekko :

1) BB + RSI + MACD:
 
• Buy decision must satisfy three conditions:
  *  The signal is below the bottom line of Bollinger Bands
  *  The MACD in uptrend and has a cross intersection
  *  The Relative Strength Index is in uptrend
 
• Sell decision must satisfy three conditions:
  *  The signal is above the upper line of Bollinger Bands,
  *  The MACD in downtrend and has a cross intersection,
  *  The Relative Strength Index is in downtrend
 
• Additional Parameters :
  *  Standard parameters for BB
  *  Standard parameters for RSI
  *  Standard parameters for RSI
  *  Time Frame: Must be able to run on any time frame (M1, M5, M15, M30 etc )
  *  Buy Money Management: Be able to use% of account for each buy trade
  *  Sale Money Management: Be able to use% of account for each sale trade
  *  Stop Loss:%
 
2) 2 MA + SAR + RSI :

• Buy decision must satisfy three conditions:
  *  The Relative Strength Index is in uptrend
  *  The MA makes a Golden Cross: Crossover involving a short-term moving average breaking above the long-term moving average
  *  The Parabolic SAR dots, begin to be hanging above the candles
 
• Sell decision must satisfy three conditions:
  *  The Relative Strength Index is in downtrend
  *  The MA Makes to Death Cross: C rossover RESULTING from a l ong-term moving average breaking above the short-term moving average or support level.
  *  The Parabolic SAR dots, begin to be hanging bellow the candles
 
• Additional Parameters :
  *  Number of periods for Short-term moving average
  *  Number of periods for Long-term moving average
  *  Standard parameters for SAR
  *  Standard parameters for RSI
  *  Time Frame: Must be able to run on any time frame (M1, M5, M15, M30 etc )
  *  Buy Money Management: Be able to use% of account for each buy trade
  *  Sale Money Management: Be able to use% of account for each sale trade
  *  Stop Loss: %


I would like to know the feasibility of doing them and the cost
