Great explanation, thank you.

I take this means that
Code:
{"$$indexCreated":{"fieldName":"s","unique":true,"sparse":false}}
does not always need to be the very first entry of the database file and the lines don’t need to be ordered by incrementally the "s"-key value?

Other than that the localDB branch works fine for me. Looking forward to it because I just ran into this issue again:

https://github.com/askmike/gekko/issues/51

Oddly enough it loads the first entries just fine, but gekko fails on the last (most recent) candles, retries a few times and then shuts down.I assume there are no connectivity or DNS issues, otherwise it wouldn’t be able to download the first 99 candles.

I also really don't like their API, hopefully I'll get the new method working quickly.

- Store all trades
- Store candles at the size that is in the current config
- Store 1 minute candles.

The first option creates the biggest databases.
...
So I went for the first option: I know exactly how much data per day is required and I am able to calculate every candle (> 1 minute) on the fly based on those.
Do you mean that you went for the third option?

oops, yes that's what I meant.
