<h3>
Trading with Gekko
</h3>
So I recently finished setting up **Gekko**, which is an open-source, fully customisable crypto trading bot developed by <a href = "https://mikevanrossum.nl/">Mike van Rossum</a> .

Among others, he has worked on cool projects such as <a href = "https://blocks.wizb.it/">Realtime Bitcoin Globe</a>, and then off course <a href ="https://gekko.wizb.it">Gekko</a>, which is what I am posting about here.

<h3>
But who is Gekko?
</h3>

Gordon Gekko is a fictional character in the 80's cult classic film Wall Street, played by the actor Michael Douglas, and portrays his exploits as financier and greed-worshipper.

Van Rossum and those who worked with him on the project used this pop-culture villain as the name for their bot, which <i>(hopefully)</i> won't view greed in the same way as it's namesake!

<h3>
Being hopeful helps, right?

But I will do some backtesting on <b>Binance</b>, and use the bot's very handy paper trading feature to test numerous strategies, mainly focusing on <b>Stochastic RSI trends</b> and <b>Bollinger Bands</b>, as this is what I mainly use in my regular manual trading.

So let me get back on this in a few days time, and report with my findings and preferably some data plotting.
