Thanks a lot for your bot. It is awesome !

One question. To minimize risk of exchange shutdown and also to greately reduce slippage but still have different configurations i would like to run different ema and percent values on different exchanges. Can i just copy the gekko folder and run different instances with different configurations?

I have copied the folder to ...\Desktop\gekko-master\gekko-master2\ and run node gekko (i have already one running on ...\Desktop\gekko-master\gekko-master\ . Both gekko bots have different EMA configurations. Why? i have very different trading rates and backtesting that seems to heavily change the benefit i get depending on EMAs and percent thresholds.

The first one with btc-e is running fine but with the second one (gekko-master2) i am just getting a "Failed to load historical trades from Bitstamp". I don't know if there has been a change in their api or it is a problem of my configuration. I have api activated and email verified on bitstamp. It seems to be connecting right because it displays the correct amount of BTC and USD but fails getting historical data. I have tried lowering the number of candles from 300 to even 5 and it does the same.

What do you think might be happening? I have latest gekko version.

Thanks!

The first question about running multiple Gekkos with different settings: You can also copy the config file and run a second Gekko and tell it to use the other config file, you can read more information in the docs. But you can also copy the whole folder.

The problem with Bitstamp is has to do with them changing the API. I am working on distrubiting candles using my own platform, but in the meantime you can try this solution.

Thanks a million for your answer.

I am trying with really small ema (1/4) periods and 720 minutes but i only manage to get it a really small number of candles With only one it gives an error. With two it just stays there waiting for 12 hours until it gets the minimum to calculate an ema crossover then gives you an advice. With 3 it just says that it could not download the historical data. I have tried also with the standard values but still it gives the failed to load historical trades from bitstamp error.

Thanks again,
