  [ ] bug report
  [ x] feature request
  [ ] question about the decisions made in the repository

• Action taken (what you did)
  I have tried to adjust thresholds in gekko before i start the bot live, but i cant seem to get it right.

• Expected result (what you hoped would happen)
  In gdax it uses ema 12 and ema 26. My problem that i cant seem to find the correct command to do what i want:

**- When ema 12 crosses ema 26 in a uptrend and ema 12 is 50 greather then it was when they crossed. BUY
So if ema 12 crossed ema 26 at 12000 , then i want that it buys at 12050. ( so ema12 is 50 greather then it was when they crossed.) If its not getting over 50 and are going under ema26 it dosent do anything. Then it waits for a new chance for ema 12 to cross ema 26 at another point again. Important thing is that it buys if its going over 50 then they were when it crossed.

• When ema 12 crosses ema 26 in a downtrend and ema 12 is 50 less then the crosspoint SELL
  When ema 12 crosses ema 26 in downtrend at for example 12000 it sells if ema 12 is still going down if ema 12 is 50 less then it was at crosspoint (11950).

So its not about the market price but about det difference between ema 12 and ema 26

I have tried for daaaaays but i cant seem to get the correct command. My next problem when this is fixed is to buy and sell with limit orders .

Hoping for help.
I have deleted all i have done and trying over again. So im starting with standard example DEMA strategy and working my way from there.

By the way, great work with gekko .

This is the standard strategy DEMA:

// helpers
var _ = require('lodash');
var log = require('../core/log.js');

// let's create our own method
var method = {};

// prepare everything our method needs
method.init = function() {
this.name = 'DEMA';

this.currentTrend;
this.requiredHistory = this.tradingAdvisor.historySize;

// define the indicators we need
this.addIndicator('dema', 'DEMA', this.settings);
}

// what happens on every new candle?
method.update = function(candle) {
// nothing!
}

// for debugging purposes: log the last calculated
// EMAs and diff.
method.log = function() {
var dema = this.indicators.dema;

log.debug('calculated DEMA properties for candle:');
log.debug('\t', 'long ema:', dema.long.result.toFixed(8));
log.debug('\t', 'short ema:', dema.short.result.toFixed(8));
log.debug('\t diff:', dema.result.toFixed(5));
log.debug('\t DEMA age:', dema.short.age, 'candles');
}

method.check = function(candle) {
var dema = this.indicators.dema;
var diff = dema.result;
var price = candle.close;

var message = '@ ' + price.toFixed(8) + ' (' + diff.toFixed(5) + ')';

if(diff > this.settings.thresholds.up) {
log.debug('we are currently in uptrend', message);

if(this.currentTrend !== 'up') {
  this.currentTrend = 'up';
  this.advice('long');
} else
  this.advice();

} else if(diff < this.settings.thresholds.down) {
log.debug('we are currently in a downtrend', message);

if(this.currentTrend !== 'down') {
  this.currentTrend = 'down';
  this.advice('short');
} else
  this.advice();

} else {
log.debug('we are currently not in an up or down trend', message);
this.advice();
}
}

module.exports = method;
