Ok

gekko installed no problems on my mac.
i'm going to have to do a shedload of research and backtesting if I want to find a strategy that will work.
Does anyone have a strategy that has worked for them? bearing in mind that we are heading into february, and buying to hold is probably a more sensible option than daytrading?

thanks in advance.

this was a bug in the latest develop build. You can download a stable version to not have to worry about these things here: https://github.com/askmike/gekko/releases

OR you can download the latest develop, since this bug has been fixed.

I downloaded the stable release and now I get: TypeError: Cannot read property 'log' of undefined.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, i've been trying to get this running for a week now and it's sapping my will to live!

That again has been fixed.. sorry about that. See here: https://github.com/askmike/gekko/pull/1824

I would recommend downloading a stable release from here instead of using the develop version (unless you are a developer). Download that from here: https://github.com/askmike/gekko/releases

Thanks again for your replies, very much appreciated. I have downloaded that version you link to, the TypeError: _.get is not a function error has gone, but the TypeError: Cannot read property 'log' persists.

Is this a permissions thing in OS X do you know?

Edit: Also getting 'Gekko was unable to set the portfolio'.

I can live paper trade, but tradebot gives me the errors.

I would like to know the feasibility of doing them and the cost

Thats true!
Are the developers still active here?
I see a lot of activity at github...

its "node gekko --ui"

if you still get similar errors you can reinstall gekko it solves, i had similar issues beforehand

hello all is there a book titled "gekko for dumbies" with step by step instruction on how to make a strategy using all indicators and explaining each line of code ?
