Gekko-Strategies

A list of strategies I written up for the Gekko Trading Bot. These strategies are for educational purposes only! I do not know if they are profitable. As always, you should fully understand any strategy you use with the Gekko trading bot as you are responsible for the trades the bot makes for you.

Candlesticks - A strategy that doesn't buy/sell, only tells you what candlestick pattern is when it closes.

Fibonacci Trendlines - A trading strategy that buys when 8 day and 21 day EMA is below the 55 day EMA and sell when the 8 day and 21 day is above the 55.

MACD Momentum - A trading strategy that tries to catch the bottom of the MACD curve and exits when MACD falls below 0. It is a WIP strategy and the code is extremely buggy (I gave up on perfecting when I saw how elegant the RSI Bull Bear strategy is) so it really should be use for references only.

StepGains - My first strategy. It buys on a dip and sell when there is a 1% gain. The variables are hard coded so you can't change it in the UI.

StepGains

Hi,

Thanks for all the vids, just wondering if you have the updated StepGains from the second youtube vid?

Thanks

candelsticks.js question

so i have your candelstick working at least when it comes to it piping out what the candle is but i am having a hard time finding out how to actually create a trade based on it. What code actually creates a trade in gekko?

Editted Stepgains

Hello,

I editted your file "stepgains" with the main that he buys at 0.99% of the current price and that he than sells at the buyPrice * 1.01. Do you know that's wrong with my code? If i backtest the code gekko doesn't do any trade.

// helpers
var _ = require('lodash');
var log = require('../core/log.js');
var buyPrice = 0.0;
var sellPrice = 0.0;
var advised = false;

// Let's create our own buy and sell strategy 
var strat = {};

// Prepare everything our strat needs
strat.init = function() {
    // how many candles do we need as a base
  // before we can start giving advice?
  this.requiredHistory = this.tradingAdvisor.historySize;
}

// What happens on every new candle?
strat.update = function(candle) {
  // Display close price in terminal
  log.debug('candle time', candle.start);
  log.debug('candle close price:', candle.close);
}

// For debugging purposes.
strat.log = function() {

}

// Based on the newly calculated
// information, check if we should
// update or not.
strat.check = function(candle) {

    if(buyPrice == 0){
        buyPrice = candle.close * 0.99;
    }
    if(candle.close <= buyPrice && !advised){
        this.advice("long");
        log.debug('Buying at', candle.close);
        sellPrice = candle.close * 1.01;
        advised = true;
    }
    if(candle.close >= sellPrice && buyPrice != 0){
        this.advice("short");
        log.debug('Selling at', candle.close);
        buyPrice = 0;
        sellPrice = 0;
        advised = false;
    }
}

module.exports = strat;

Is this maybe an error in the backtest program?

Backtest on

Bug found in candlestick

I noted the the lastTreeTrend never got updated, you forgot to use .closed for the last element
so candles[8].close instead of candles[8], the same for candles[6]

So your fixed code would become (around line 76) :

if (candleLength < largestCandle.length * 0.25) {

  if (candles[6].close <= candles[7].close && candles[7].close <= candles[8].close) {
    lastThreeTrend = 'up';
  }
  if (candles[8].close <= candles[7].close && candles[7].close <= candles[6].close) {
    lastThreeTrend = 'down';
  }

Another bug or at least strange code detail that you might explain
Why do you use the 6,7,8 and not the header candles (ea the last 3 new candles) ??

instructions

Could you give instructions for setting up and running? Your videos are great but no clue how to get your strategies in gekko.
