General purpose of this project #52

Hi there, I have a bunch of general questions to this project and I hope someone can answer them all. I hope this is the right place for such questions.

  1. How exactly am I supposed to make use of gekkoga? Should I use it to run backtests to find out the best parameters for a strategy? After X epochs I have good enough parameters which I should use then in gekko itself? Is this assumption correct? Or can I also let gekkoga do the live trading with real values?

  2. What exactly happens within one epoche? Does it run through the whole duration of your backdata (in my case the last 3 months of bitcoin history)?

Kind regards

One thing I can answer is that you can't run gekkoga on the live market, as far as I know.

Should I use it to run backtests to find out the best parameters for a strategy? After X epochs I have good enough parameters which I should use then in gekko itself?

Yes, basically but I think you have to test the strategy with many diffrent market situations and not only one.
