Soooo....

[DrBlackross]

Gekko only trades one way?

Btc -> usdt And not the other way around?

[askmike]

It trades both ways. If you have a question based on either observed behaviour or documentation, please be more clear.

[DrBlackross]

I've only ever seen it trade one way....

Wanted to buy USDT but the amount is to small (0.000000000000) at Poloniex

Sooo i manually sell usdt for btc, then after that it'll sell btc for usdt not problem

(This is from this mornings restart, and using the poloniex branch of gekko)

[askmike]

These logs show a paper trader (simulation) and a real trader. The simulator is selling BTC for USD just fine.

Why it is not working appears related to poloniex:

• Has selling BTC ever worked for you?
• Has buying ever worked for you? (if so, do you have logs)

Please upload your config and link to it (without your API keys).

Thats the config.... swapped out the gdax, put the keys in, adjusted the RSI, and date range
