This is a simple strategy which I have created in order to work with Gekko Trading bot

This strategy can be configured to do below things -
- It should sell when the price surges to x% of the bought price, i.e. profit limit.
- It should sell when the price drops below y% of the bought price, i.e. stop loss.
- It should buy again if the price surges to z% of the sold price.
- It should buy again if the price goes down to u% of the sold price.
If you want to run Gekko via command line
You will need to change below 4 variables in buyatsellat.js as per your need -
const buyat = 1.05; // profit limit percentage (e.g. 1.15 for 15%)
const sellat = 0.97; // amount of percentage from last buy if market goes down (e.g. 0.97 for 3%)
const stop_loss_pct = 0.95; // stop loss percentage (e.g. 0.95 for 5%)
const sellat_up = 1.01; // amount of percentage from last buy if market goes up (e.g. 1.01 for 1%)
Copy the strategy file to /gekko/strategies folder.
Also, you will need to make below changes in config.js -
In config.tradingAdvisor module, put buyatsellat as method, just like -
config.tradingAdvisor = {
enabled: true,
method: 'buyatsellat',
candleSize: 60,
historySize: 2,
You can use any candle size you want. They are in Minutes.
After these changes, you can run Gekko by executing -
node gekko --config config.js
If you want to run Gekko in UI mode
Copy buyatsellat_ui.js file to /gekko/strategies folder.
Copy buyatsellat_ui.toml file to /gekko/config/strategies folder. (This file is used to change parameters in UI mode)
Run Gekko in UI mode by executing -
node gekko --ui
Do let me know of any issues.
