    Can i use this to trade LTC at BTC-e?

    Not at this moment, there are plans as discussed on Github though.

    Nope, no web page.

    Anyway, using Bitstamp all of a sudden, everything is NaN

    Hmm that's a bug for sure, I'll look into this in an hour or so! You are using the latest version, right?

    The bot looks at the market every [interval] to see wether the EMA strategy suggests to go either long or short (you should either buy or sell bitcoin) by riding the trend. You can change the settings in config.js, take a look at this document which describes what everything means.

    [interval] is a setting of the EMA strategy which is the period in minutes per candle. This means Gekko will only recheck what to do every [interval] minutes, default is 60 minutes.

    That's strange... I get no update after an hour (interval is 60 in config.js)... in fact I left it for a day and no update. It just checks the EMA once and then no more... but continues running.
    If I quit and rerun it does the same - gives one advice and then no more

    How do you know it's still working? I ran it, it gave one trade advice... and nothing else since...
    By default it runs every hour.

    I have finally found the bug regarding BTC-e monitoring. Gekko broke over BTC-e monitoring because bitcoinCharts (the API Gekko uses to get trade data from BTC-e) changed the way services can ask for trade data (silently).

    Current workaround for BTC-e users:
    • Set debug in the config to true (line 145)
    • Set the candles to something lower than 40 (line 22)
    • Run Gekko
    • Check whether the calulcated EMAs are NaN, if they are lower the 40 number

    The reason the 40 number can be different is that now bitcoinCharts will return the last 2000 trades, and how long ago the oldest one happened depends on the market.

    Ok I'll try that but how do I set up a trade or anything like that I've read this config 100 times maybe for people like me lol you can show a example than I can go off that.

    let me know if it works!

    Did you see this document? Anyway here is how you can configure Gekko to auto trade on BTC-e:

    Code:
    config.normal = {
      enabled: true,
      exchange: 'BTCe',/ 'MtGox', 'BTCe' or 'Bitstamp'
      currency: 'USD',
      asset: 'BTC',
      tradingEnabled: true,
      key: 'your API key',
      secret: 'your API secret',
    }

    The API key and secret can be generated on the profile page on btce. Gekko only need trade rights.

    I'm off to bed now.

    There is no set price to buy and sell at - it's does it based on the EMA rate

    On BTC-e Gekko currently only supports BTC. You can read every supported currency pair per exchange here. There is a discussion about using a different data provider so that altcoins are supported on Github. But unfortunatly this is not possible yet.

    Line 28 is a comment, this is so I can explain what the block below does. Comments always need a double slash in front of them. So you should change:

    Code:
    Monitor the live market

     to
     
    Code:
    // Monitor the live market

    Note that Gekko is a very technical tool, if you are having a lot of trouble with editing configuration files and watching the command line instead of a screen with a graph I recommand you to check out these similar projects. They are more focused on a user friendly tool.

    My stuff can do various coin pairs.

    I already released some API implementations:

    With backtesting on this I found 0.80/0.80 was better... thus perhaps best to change the gekko config file to:
    "
      sellTreshold: -0.80,
      buyTreshold: 0.80
    "
    ?
