# Tradebot
|
|
|
|
You can set Gekko up as a tradebot, this will instruct Gekko to:
|
|
|
|
- Watch a live market.
|
|
- Run a strategy (in semi-realtime) over live market data.
|
|
- Automatically create buy/sell orders based on signals coming from the strategy.
|
|
|
|
*As with everything in Gekko, the tradebot will make decisions based on the strategy selected/configured/created **by YOU**. If you end up losing money, you have no one to blame but yourself.*
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
First, set up Gekko for commandline usage (see [this document](./about_the_commandline.md) for details). After that, configure the following plugins:
|
|
|
|
- `config.watch` - the market to trade on.
|
|
- `candleWriter` - (optional) also store market data to disk.
|
|
- `tradingAdvisor` - configure the strategy and candle properties.
|
|
- `trader` - configure Gekko access to your exchange account.
|
|
- `performanceAnalyzer` - enable.
|
|
|
|
Turn off the paperTrader (there can only be 1 trade plugin active per instance).
|
|
|
|
Once done, run Gekko like so:
|
|
|
|
node gekko --config your-config-file.js
|
