How to exit from a strategy ?

[Tralala44]

Hello People, i've tried so far on my own, but i need some help and o hope someone will be able to help me. A big thanks in advance ! :)

I'm submitting a ... [ ] bug report [X ] question about a way to exit of a simple strategy by command line

Action taken (what you did) i used a simple strategy to buyat/sellat a specific price and it works but i can't exit from gekko it still "looping" ; i tried to put some "return" but without any luck.

Expected result (what you hoped would happen) after executed the node gekko --config buy.js or sell.js, it executes the order specified in the above strategy and gekko closes itself.

Actual result (unexpected outcome) the use of the command line works, buy or sell orders are fullfilled but gekko remains up.

Other information (e.g. detailed explanation, stacktraces, related issues, suggestions how to fix, links for us to have context, eg. stackoverflow, etc) Here the strategy used and juste before logs of the gekko command line after that the trade has been made : 2019-10-31 19:25:55 (DEBUG): Requested ZRX/BTC trade data from Binance ... 2019-10-31 19:25:55 (DEBUG): Processing 2 new trades.

I think strategies are supposed to keep running forever on its own. You are supposed to create a logic to make solid decisions for when to buy or sell and make it profitable. If you want to make it to take only X trades then stop doing trades you can easily put like a counter in its logic. But if you really want to stop it, you can use the UI to stop a running strategy manually.
