• Action taken (what you did)
  I set up gekko with all my config, running the paper trader works fine, but when I run it with the actual trader, I see an error from the bitstamp api.

• Expected result (what you hoped would happen)
  Gekko would start trading.

• Actual result (unexpected outcome)

2017-12-18 06:37:09 (ERROR):    BITSTAMP API ERROR: BitstampError {
  name: 'BitstampError',
  message: 'Bitstamp error 403',
  meta: { status: 'error', reason: 'Invalid signature', code: 'API0005' } }
2017-12-18 06:37:09 (DEBUG):    Bitstamp returned an error, retrying..

• Other information (e.g. detailed explanation, stacktraces, related issues, suggestions how to fix, links for us to have context, eg. stackoverflow, etc)

The bitstamp key I'm using is activated. I'm not very familiar with node, but if you can point me to where this might be raised, I can put some more log statements if that helps.

I figured out the issue.

If you're using sub accounts with bitstamp, for the username, you must use the id of the main account, and not the sub account.
