What are the errors?

I agree with @askmike, your description is not very clear, and it seems you're reporting 3 separate bugs in one report, with a title that's not very indicative about what exactly your problem is.

As for npm: I'm inclined to say "who cares". (I use yarn because it's so much faster)

As for the MACD: I might have run into something that might help you. Depending on the pair you're trying to trade, try drastically lowering the thresholds. I remember on Poloniex, the defaults didn't do anything for me, and I had to change it from 0.025 to 0.0001 (and -0.0001) order for the MACD signals to be picked up.

Try setting it to 0 first, and then gradually increase it in small steps to figure out the right order of magnitude for your pair.

i am going to uninstall and reinstall gekko. ive found that this works. but its a pain in the ass.

[askmike]

I have never seen this before. To give some context: Gekko is a tool that is written in nodejs, so you can only use Gekko once your nodejs is working probably (which is rarely a problem).

It seems like node does not run on windows XP or vista (see nodejs/node#3804), so that automatically means that Gekko is not supported on these operating systems. If you are running one of these you could run gekko in a (linux based) virtual machine.

If that is not your case, could you maybe look at the following similar issues to see if they apply to you?

• Assertion failed in timer.c on windows / nodejs 6.4.0 nodejs/node#8234
• Getting the error "Assertion failed (wrap->ssl_) != (nullptr), file src\tls_wrap.cc, line 320" while module installation by npm nodejs/node#2979
• Overclocked AMD causes NPM to respond Assertion failed: new_time >= loop->time ... nodejs/node#11959

great, so to sum up: the installation issue you had is an issue with nodejs (an external project, has nothing to do with Gekko). If the issue persists please post it here: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues

[jonboy510]

so is gekko stable on windows 10? you said xp and vista where a problem?

It should be yes, I don't use windows but a lot of people are using Gekko on windows 10 without to many problems (some advanced use cases like TAlib support and using other databases might be hard on windows).

However the errors you reported have likely to do with your specific windows setup, and not windows 10 in general.

[askmike]

I also put an installation video of Gekko on youtube, the OS in that video is also windows 10:
