<commit_before># Important note

You are looking at the new and completetly different version of Gekko that is being developed right now. **It is not stable yet, it might crash and we need to validate the advice to be solid.**

## What we know doesn't work

- Real trading (I am not implementing this until I have validated advice).
- Might crash :(

## What we hope does work

**Everything listed in the [Configuring Gekko Doc](https://github.com/askmike/gekko/tree/localDB/docs/Configuring_gekko.md). This document lists everything you can do with Gekko and how to do it.**

Here is [the todo](https://github.com/askmike/gekko/issues/114) until the new version is considered stable.

If you encounter a bug: check out in [the issues](https://github.com/askmike/gekko/issues/114) if we are aware of it and if not create a new one :)

Gekko is a Bitcoin trading bot and backtesting platform that connects to popular Bitcoin exchanges. It is written in javascript and runs on [nodejs](http://nodejs.org).

## Main features

* Trading platform:
 * Paper trading
 * ~~Live trading (trade bot)~~
 * ~~Backtesting~~
* Market API / interface:
 * Emit market events
 * Basic IRC Bot

## What?

This project is a learning excercise of me, a student with *some* experience in programming (mostly web) and zero experience in economics and trading. I figured writing my own trade bot would be the best way to learn about implementing mathematical trading algorithms. So here is **my very first attempt at anything related to trading / algorithmic decision making**.

As this is a learning experience for me all feedback is extremely appreciated. If you don't want to contribute to the code you can always just send me an [email](mailto:<EMAIL>) or leave feedback in the [Gekko thread on the bitcointalk forum](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=209149.0).
<commit_msg>updated readme to reflect real trading<commit_after># Important note

You are looking at the new and completetly different version of Gekko that is being developed right now. **It is not stable yet, it might crash and we need to validate the advice to be solid.**

## What we know doesn't work

- Not 100% this is stable. Let me know if there is a bug!

## What we hope does work

**Everything listed in the [Configuring Gekko Doc](https://github.com/askmike/gekko/tree/localDB/docs/Configuring_gekko.md). This document lists everything you can do with Gekko and how to do it.** The list boils down to:

- watch any market on BTC-e, Bitstamp, Mt. Gox, CEX.io.
- calculate MACD, DEMO or PPO over this market.
- use the following plugins:
    - real trader (automatic trading on advice)
    - advice logger
    - profit simulator
    - Mailer (on advice)
    - IRC bot
    - Redis beacon

Here is [the todo](https://github.com/askmike/gekko/issues/114) until the new version is considered stable.
