Topic: goxtool bot: portfolio rebalancing - page 2. (Read 26529 times)
and in my signature the link for the main goxtool app. The only recommended and supported version.
So you're telling me this has nothing to do with balancer.py from https://github.com/caktux/goxtool ? Hmmmm.
Thats a fork of my original bot. I don't know what was changed in this fork and how to use it, I can only recommend my original as it is found in the link on page 1.
So you're telling me this has nothing to do with balancer.py from https://github.com/caktux/goxtool ? Hmmmm.
user.conf
The _balancer.py this thread is about has no "user.conf", please see the link to the original in post #1
You also wouldn't have needed any additional json packages, all of goxtool is using the built in json moule that comes with a standard python installation, I don't know what this balancer fork is doing or what it needs exotic additional json libs for.
I'm trying to get this to run on my linux box. I'm not normally a noob (been using linux since mid 90s) but I am a Python noob. If this was written in perl or something, no problem. 
First problem was python-crypto wasn't installed. Second problem was python-simplejson wasn't installed.
1807 apt-get install python-crypto
1808 apt-get install python-simplejson
So after that, we have a new problem. (sorry for the spam, but this is how the output came out. I did delete screenfulls of blank lines at least.)

Urghh.
The code in balancer.py has:
# Load user.conf
conf = json.load(open("user.conf"))
# Set defaults
conf.setdefault('balancer_simulate', True)
conf.setdefault('balancer_distance', 7)
conf.setdefault('balancer_fiat_cold', 0)
conf.setdefault('balancer_coin_cold', 0)
conf.setdefault('balancer_marker', 7)
conf.setdefault('balancer_compensate_fees', False)
conf.setdefault('balancer_target_margin', 1)
So I assume it would use those as defaults if there's nothing in the conf file...
Anyway, I don't know if I've pulled some new version from git or what because there's no instructions in this thread or the goxtool website about needing this conf file or what to put in it...
First problem was python-crypto wasn't installed. Second problem was python-simplejson wasn't installed.

0.05BTC
Is not enough. please read the thread, I have mentioned it multiple times. Load it at least with a few thousand dollars for it to make any sense. Minimum order size on gox is 0.01BTC, if you do the math you will see that your rebalancing orders would be too small by orders of magnitude.I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking straight!
Was reading through the code and let it run simultaneously to test it...without thinking about the minimum order size. I will try it again later.
Thanks for your work!

I don't know what happened, but my instance isn't responding to the balance command (pressing b)
I tried using websocket and pubnub, tried a new API key and am up to date.
Does anybody how to solve this?
EDIT: I converted everything I got in my account (only 0.05BTC to test, maybe this isn't enough?) into BTC and as I pressed "b" after this, the bot rebalanced (it wasn't balanced before, but it wouldn't do it automatically).
New orders were placed and I will let it run through the night and see tomorrow

Please edit the goxtool.ini and set use_tonce=True (and while you are at it also set use_http_api=True). It seems that with my current implementation some API requests during initialization come out of chronological sequence, making some API requests fail sometimes but the "tonce" which is only requres a 10 second time window has not such strict requirements and stilll works.
I have made this the default for new installations now but existing installations will still have the old settings in the ini.
Edit: and please git pull once a day, I'm still not finished with the pubnub stuff, its still a huge mess, their python API is ugly and incomplete and therefore the goxtool side of this is a huge pile of workarounds, I am still trying to fix it and make it more elegant and more reliable.

Thanks! Appreciate the work and quick turn around... made the changes suggested and everything looks to be working. The account info is showing fine for me.

please
git pull
and then run with
--protocol=pubnub
still experimental because I coded it in a hurry but seems to work already

it seems to work when you switch to socketio instead of websocket.
EDIT: no it doesn't update anything then.

Yes, MtGOX API has been down for several hours now. DDoS apparently.
yes, it does not work anymore. not just for this bot, for anyone.
Anyone having problems connecting to the api?

I used to run this bot and I am curious how it did during all the recent market insanity.
This is what it should have done in the last 2 weeks: https://cryptotrader.org/backtests/fNnNrr3t7Yq5t57FD
You can see a small profit there.
