Closed maxpingo closed 7 years ago

maxpingo commented 7 years ago

Talking people, I installed gekko, I tested before entering the market, but he is doing the operations, so he is buying high and selling low, would be otherwise, would have someone who can help me in this case, I will leave the Screen print here ok. I'm working at Poloniex. Thank you all for the strength. estrategia 01 // Everything is explained here: // @link https://github.com/askmike/gekko/blob/stable/docs/Configuring_gekko.md

I don't see it as an Gekko issue, but a weak/losing strategy.... Your profit for buy and hold would be almost 18%.. better than your 7%
