Noob question...

[frollard]

Greetings!
So far great program - just after reading the code I can't find the answer myself so I'm hoping it's a simple answer; How verbose is the program supposed to be?
I've got it calculating EMA at 0312
advice at 0318 to buy
buying over the next 20 seconds
buy successful
...then 9 hours of total silence. Is there any indicator that the program is intentionally waiting (for data) versus stalled?

Lastly, I killed the program and restarted it - the price has dropped considerably since I bought and the moving average is down. Will it remember it paid a high price when it sees the dropping average between instances?

Yea, I just started reading the code also. To see the verbose application change the verbose boolean to true, do:
config.js -> config.profitCalculator -> Then change "verbose: false" to "verbose: true".

[frollard]

That's already true, nothing coming on the main window...

What exchange you are using?
I don't know how others are doing it but I have "verbose: true" and "config.debug = true" settings enabled.

Then I have "~/.screenrc" file like this
deflog on
logfile /home/user/gekko.log

I running gekko using command "screen node gekko"
Probably you should test that too.

EDIT: And you can also try this: kuzetsa@aded157

I'm using btc-e

After setting verbose to true I'm getting hourly updates 'advice to hold' etc...which is what I was looking for - just something to make sure I knew it didn't crash.

Yes setting verbose to true will make Gekko log all new calculations. The idea was that after you let it run for a long time you would only see the real advices without a sea of 'advice is to hold' messages.

I am going to merge the change from @kuzetsa in soon.
