Howto use

Setup Gekko

Checkout and configure Gekko like described here.

Install additional required node modules

This plugin additionally requires talib-promise. In your Gekko base directory install it like

npm install talib-promise

Install this plugin

cd into methods directory and checkout gannswing like

wget "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/johndoe75/gekko-gannswing/master/gannswing.js"

Add the following section to your config.js:

config['gannswing'] = {
  // stop-loss
  stoploss: {
    // enable/disable stop loss sells
    enabled: false,
    // if stop-loss is enabled, shall it be trailing?
    trailing: false,
    // how many percent before we trigger stop-loss sell?
    percent: 5
  },
  vixperiod: 20,
  // trend reaction time between 50 and 250
  swingperiod: 250
}

and adjust it to your needs. For certain exchanges and pairs you need to play around with these settings and Gekko's config.tradingAdvisor.candleSize. Always test your changes in a backtest per node gekko -b.

Use this method at your own risk! Especially if you're going to let Gekko do the trades for you! I'm not responsible for any loss you gain.
