Gekko FAQ and Knowledge Base

Gekko is a Bitcoin TA trading and backtesting platform that connects to popular Bitcoin exchanges. It is written in JavaScript and runs on Node.js. -- https://github.com/askmike/gekko/

Since recent influx of new users in Gekko Discord channel, I've decided to collect some commonly asked questions to help new users get started. PRs are welcome.

Where can I find more strategies?

I heavily suggest reading my Medium posts where I backtest and analyze 32 (17 advanced + 15 neural net) strategies, to get a feeling about what can be accomplished with open source strategies, before you start developing your own.

Another resource with backtest results is xFFFFF repo, but it hasn't been updated for a while (2 years). Also, contains ton of strategies, big part of them actually work.

Other strategy sources I've found (all credit to authors):

Where can I find more indicators?

Can I run Gekko on multiple timeframes (candle sizes)?

Yes, see this and this example. Also, Green Gekko supports multiple timeframes.
