It's a convoluted quote-a-thon!

Awesome let me know how it goes. You can always set the sell threshold higher so that only really steep downtrends would trigger a sell.

Yeah, I tweaked the buy/sell thresholds which, coupled with yesterday's moves @ cex = profit

One uninterrupted 24hr session overnight yielded:

Code:

2014-01-27 12:11:16 (INFO): (PROFIT REPORT) original simulated balance: 0.65978 BTC
2014-01-27 12:11:16 (INFO): (PROFIT REPORT) current simulated balance: 0.69191 BTC
ACTUAL balance: 0.67235958

Simulation mode is currently way optimistic, which is weird: since it doesn't account for mining, it really should be under, not over.

EDIT: someone requested that we output the trades into a CSV file. Is this also something you would use?

YESSSSSSSS. I currently lift CSV data from cex to visualise bot winnings, but raw csv from gekko would be good (IF it kept a constant eye on your balances and had them in the CSV)

Uh oh! Semi-critical error:

Code:

2014-01-26 11:15:30 (ERROR): cancel order failed: Nonce must be incremented

So this error has probably to do with you using the same API keys for both CT and Gekko.

Actually nope, gekko was my only thing running on that api key that day. Plus I've run CT and gekko and my crappy little namecoin selling bot all together before on the one API key and it hasn't given a hoot. Regardless, an increment and retry should fix the hang.

A new observation: when gekko said this, it actually meant "sell", not buy. suggest change to "trade"

Code:

2014-01-27 13:42:26 (INFO): wanted to buy GHS but the amount is to small (0) at cex.io

Edit: and here's today's weirdness:

Code:

2014-01-27 14:32:25 (INFO): wanted to buy but insufficient BTC (17.39210254031083) at cex.io

What. Also that isn't the BTC balance in brackets, it's the GHS equivalent. What? Only happened once on startup. After restarting, it was fine.

I'm interested in all your feedback! Here is my [reflink](https://cex.io/r/0/askmike/0/) btw.

You got it: Feedback: Awesome! Gekko + cex.io = profit.

Lags / bugs out / hangs *far* less often than cryptrade with the localdb, and comes up with a little more than CT in terms of profit.
Gekko candles not having to start at 00sec makes for much agility too. Is it possible to run at sub-minute intervals? I'm scared to try.

After a while (specifically after I've watched charts and made myself understand MACD & PPO) I'll run a second gekko instance with different config... And when I do, your referral link is getting some action. Slap it in your sig too, me talking cex so much in the gekko thread and lauding it for being a reasonably "safe" exchange to test a tradebot in can't hurt your odds of signups.

I'm not sure, but does Gekko simulation take transaction fees into account? That might be the reason for your discrepancy. I also find it surprising you trade succesfully at cex. I thought that market only had one direction... down...
