So now I dove a bit into the Gekko docs and it seems fairly simple to create a strategy. This is the thing that outputs the trading advice to Gekko.

The output Gekko can make use of strategies using all kinds of algorithms, but I don't want that. I want to decide each day if I want to buy or sell on a specific input. For this I wrote a Web Api endpoint in C#. For my first test, like I showed you in the previous post, this just takes in an integer parameter and outputs a dummy object. I've changed…

It has been a while since I was here but I decided to continue the series after being busy for a long time. Part of the solution entails calling a web api from javascript, so I decided to learn how that should be done. Because the TradingAdvice endpoint needs to be there in the future to return the trading advice I decided to get some practice with this. I took a look at what the gekko ticker stores from an incoming candle, and I found there's a Unix timestamp in there. That's an integer. So, even though I probably will not use that integer as a parameter for the api it is very convenient for testing. Saved candles from the bitcoin exchange I am using Let's create an endpoint with…
