This is a big step towards implementing a system that supports over a 100 different indicators (ta-lib) because it needs to get candles fed.

May I ask how far are you with the ta-lib implementation?
Also, could you make it somewhat similar to the code that cryptotrader.org accepts?
It would be so much easier if one could just simply copy&paste coffescript snippets back and forth.

I was pretty far. But because of the API changes in both bitcoincharts (BTC-e data) and bitstamp I probably have to change core. I want to have the core stabilised before I'm adding all the advanced stuff.

I was planning to do something similar for a while, I am not a fan of coffeescript myself. I think plain javascript is a lot easier for most people, as it's very similar to a lot of big languages like Java and C. But adding coffeescript ofcourse is a piece of cake since Gekko is a js project, so this will make it in.

I don't think I can make it exactly the same (with all function calls, etc). But I'll see what I can do Smiley
