Kraken requires "my-secret" to be set in the config

[Nophi]

Hi !
Thank you for this work
I have a problem when I activate the trader plugin
May be an option that I have not activated

Here's what Gekko return :

Gekko encountered an error and can't continue

Error:

Kraken requires "my-secret" to be set in the config

Meta debug info:

Gekko version: v0.2.2
Nodejs version: v4.2.6

Thanks for your help

In the config, did you correctly set your API keys? They should be filled in here:

config.trader = {
  enabled: false,
  key: '',
  secret: '',
  username: '' // your username, only required for specific exchanges.
}

Please read the documentation on how to enable a real trader here. I am closing this for now as I highly suspect it is a configuration error. If you have problems, just comment here and I'll help you out.

Thank you for your answer,
The API is the same for the config file and exchange file.

config.trader = {
enabled: true,
key: 'same key as the exchange file',
secret: 'same secret as the exchange file',
username: '' // your username, only required for specific exchanges.
}

What do you mean same key as the exchange file? You should not put any keys in the exchange file. You only need to put them in the config file.

So:

1. create a config file
2. configure config.watch to the exchange you want to watch
3. configure your trading method with the parameters you think are good.
4. enable config.trader and put the credentials in like so:

If your API key is 123 and your secret 456:

config.trader = {
  enabled: enabled,
  key: '123',
  secret: '456',
  username: '' // your username, only required for specific exchanges.
}

It's my fault, I replace 'key' and 'secret' in exchange file with my API.
it is resolved
Thank you

[askmike]

awesome!

If you have more problems let me know.
