gekko config generator

The gekko-config-generator creates a config.js, for gekko backtest, for every toml files in the strategies directory.

It parses all toml files, inside the 'gekko/config/strategies' directory, into JSON formated strings. And then creates the config files for gekko backtest and writes them into the 'gekko/backtest-config' directory.

Getting Started

This Tool is relatively easy to install and run.

Prerequisites

Before you can start you need to install node.js, gekko and Gekko-Strategies.

I will only describe how to install these prerequisites under debian, because I am a debian user.

# Node.js
su
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | -E bash -
apt-get install -y nodejs

# Gekko
git clone https://github.com/askmike/gekko.git

# Install dependencies for gekko
cd gekko
npm i
npm i tulind --build-from-source
npm i talib
cd exchange
npm i

# Gekko-strategies
git clone https://github.com/gekkowarez/Gekko-Strategies

cd Gekko-Strategies
bash install.sh

You don't have to install the Gekko-Strategies for this tool, but gekko's default strategies are already configured in it's sample-config.js.

Installing

After you are done with the prerequisites you can install the gekko config generator.

git clone https://github.com/danisenpai/gekko-config-generator.git
cd gekko-config-generator
npm i

At this point you can start using the gekko-config-generator.

# getting help
node gcg -h

# if you installed gekko-config-generator inside the gekko dir
