Something odd happened today: I had Gekko running in the background for like a day or so (trading in MtGox), but suddenly I got a signal to sell, even though the chart on bitcoincharts didn't give any indication to do so. When I closed and reopened it, I got things like this:
2013-09-11 00:18:56 (INFO): ADVICE is to HOLD @ 129.043 (NaN)
Ran it again with config.debug set:

Anyone else having issues? I had been running Gekko for almost a month with no problems until today.
P.S.: My timezone is GMT -4:30, in case you're wondering.
