Wow! Looks great! An especially nice touch is displaying BNB with the currencies so I can keep track of it to make sure I never run out and my exchange fees remain only half of the already low low Binance fees. 

Fit, form and function.

Great Work Team!

  Thanks for the new version.  I have just downloaded it and installed.
In Windows task manager it is still shown as 32 bit.  Is there a different URL for 64 bit version to download?

Selcuk.

Note: If anyone has an issue with the new version please let us know: [email protected]
The previous 3.7.8 version is still available for download as a fallback option.

Important: Although Kraken improved their trading engine, it is still much slower than every other market we support. This can result in some situations that are unlikely to occur on other markets. For example, if you stop a bot to adjust some setting and then press start again, it might be that the amount the bot starts with the second time is smaller than the first. This is because the funds might not have updated yet. So take care and double check the the bot is starting with the amount you want it to.

How can you get your copy?

If you are an existing customer you can simply click on the "update available!" link on the leonArdo login screen and download this version.

Or if you are new just head over to website and click through to our Products section.
You can also download a demo version of leonArdo from the website to try before you buy.

A docker solution sounds nice. We have to look into it. I haven't used it much for desktop applications yet. Also I don't know yet how easy it would be for the average user to run it on his/her machine.

Good idea though.

All the best,

@mArgin team:

I don't know how many users are there using leonArdo on Linux, and how many of them have similar problems (I, personally, had used it before on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS as recommended, without these issues), to justify implementing my idea, but here you go:

Have you considered using Docker to supply a fully-functional, stable and certified Linux container for leonArdo? It could bundle the essential, recommended core OS base, so it would run exactly as it should on every Linux distro out there. And, depending on how you deliver it, the installation could be even easier than it is today (e.g. publish leonArdo on the public Docker Hub); what about a simple "docker pull leonardo"? 

And to be fair, I 100% agree with Rene: I have almost 18 years of professional experience with Linux, and even with apps statically compiled, it's almost impossible to deliver an app that runs perfectly on *every* Linux distro out there. Heck, even Java apps sometimes don't work like that. In fact, I think the heterogeneity of Linux distros works against a greater adoption of this OS for desktop users; of course it's fun for hackers and enthusiasts like us, but no big enterprise is going to develop and TEST their software on every distro (that's why they usually release at most for Ubuntu LTS and sometimes Fedora, for the desktop, and RHEL for enterprise servers). That leaves almost only open-source software that can be recompiled by the Xyz distro maintainer...

But this is off-topic. I think a Docker container would close this gap (like a "static build on steroids"), if the cost to implement justify the benefits.

Hello All

I have been using Leonardo for about 4 months now and I get good results.

I will usually average at around 1.26% - 1.69% per day (obviously the conversion to dollars or pounds is crap right now - but the crypto balance is still growing).

What I am looking to try and do and I'm not sure if its a feature but, I would like to auto-change the position in order to accommodate the percentage growth just gained in the last sell.

At the moment I have to do this daily in oder to in effect compound my stake, I would prefer to set it and forget it.  Or spend a couple of mins a day like I do now adjusting the bot.

Any creative ways of doing this  rather than manually?

Thanks

Well .. i'm actually running it on ubuntu.. But not the 16.x LTS release but the actual 17.10 release...


I think, it's even very poor practice to try to blame your bugs on using the wrong linux distribution. You're delivering a ton of libs with your software (why not a static build from the start on?). I don't really get, which difference the structure around the essential libs (mainly your init, your package management, a bit of filesystem structure) should make, except for maybe specific kernel builds (which even should not matter at all, as your software is not depending on specific drivers or kernel modules at all. )

So .. back to topic ... it's actually getting somewhat annoying to report stuff and don't get meaningful answers in the long run.

Greetings,

hacky


Edit: P.s.: Did i mention that leonArdo is not even able to connect to the local xserver on that machine? It only works if i send it remote to another xserver on a different machine... I think i mentioned that in one of my mails but not here on the forum...

Hi Hacky,

just on a side note - as you seem to have a lot more problems running leonardo than most - we support leonArdo for Ubuntu Linux only so far (apart from OSX and Windows of course).
I know you don't want to run Ubuntu - and believe me, in a way I can relate to that as an avid user of NetBSD for years - but we have still limited resources and we have to focus on the distributions that most people use.
We will have a look at your logs and try to tackle all issues asap, just a reminder that using Ubuntu could help.

Thanks for your support!

  Rene

Heh .. yeah thank you for that bit of clarification... I already knowed where to find the logs at all .. but it seems to be to much hassle to check and save them everytime any problem occurs (and sadly, that's happening very frequently..).

So, as i wrote on my last post, i'm gonna hack some wrapper together to make that easier to me.

At least, logs are preserved and not rewritten/old content deleted.

Maybe, i should simply send them the full package ... but .. well watch out:


1.5gigs of logfiles .... and just some little of 34 logs only for bitfinex with 15 open pairs... whaaaaaaaa

Anyways .. i'm going to compress the whole mess over there ... save them online for marginsoftware staff to download it and clean up a bit on my homedir....

Hopefully i can go further with my hacky wrapper or so ....

Greetings,

hacky

Here is where to find the logs, credit to Amaralluis (from a prior post). They will  contain helpful information for support to work on the issues you have uncovered.
+++
You should still report to the developers about this error.

The email is :    [email protected]

and you can find the logs in the folder Leonardo located :

The .leonArdo is a hidden folder in your home directory.

If you are on Windows it's something like
C:\Users\YOURLOGINNAME\.leonArdo

On Mac OS X its
/Users/YOURLOGINNAME/.leonardo

And on Linux it's
/home/YOURLOGINNAME/.leonardo

+++

The files you would be looking for are named by their exchange and pair.

exchange-COIN-PAIREDWITH.log
if it is a demo log it will say
demo-exchange-COIN-PAIREDWITH.log

The log for an XMR-BTC pair at Bittrex would be named:
bittrex-XMR-BTC.log

Often my logs run 60+ MB so I 7z compress them for efficiency before sending them. Probably 85% of the time I will send a screen print if I think it is helpful.

As i asked where to find the logs, i got told to check the windows system logs.... Well i'm no longer using windows and still did not get any meaningful information about where to find usable logs at all. So nope, i did not check any logs... Maybe, someone of you can tell me, which exact file out of the tons of files your software creates might be the best one to start with? What about a useful implementation of the qt logging facilities maybe?

For bitfinex, it actually crashes after a distinct amount of runtime whenever i try to stop a running bot or adapt an existing order.

On HitBTC, leonardo just freezes after an unknown amount of time since i have more than one pair open steadily.

For now, poloniex seems to be the only stable variant of the exchanges (I use bitfinex, bittrex (unusable!), HitBTC and Poloniex).

I would like to help more with identifiying problems and bugs .. but having any instance running in strace makes it painfully slow and potentially even slows don API access by a significant amount, which might lead to the reason for crashing on bittrex at all but, i don't know the source and i'm not that much of a programmer at all..

I actually try to write myself some evil hacked wrapper script to be able to launch leonardo for any specific exchange and write all outputs in to separate log files and even save (copy) the logs leonardo creates on it's own to keep them for analysis. But it is going to be a really evil hack, creating file descriptors in bash to save outputs to stdout/stderr, launch leonardo halfways in background to be able to process the outputs an logs and so on...

I wish there would be a better way for this. What about some debug mode, triggered via command line parameters or so?

Hacky

Will other exchanges be added in upcoming releases? Like Binance?

Nevermind, saw the OP. It is coming

I have the same problem as well.
And the thing is that if I hover the mouse to another field the text box might or not display correctly but doing it back and forth it will eventually work.
So I think its a bug, for some reason Leonardo miscalculates the size of the text box and thats why only partial text fits inside.

I had strange display issues (way oversized window not resizable) when using leonardo with linux mint and a monitor connected with an hdmi cable. I moved it to another box with linux mint and a monitor connected with a vga cable and everything works fine there.

Still nothin'. Looks exactly the same with the font turned down to 2 on all of them :/. Funny thing is its not just on this pc its on all of the pcs that I have tried to install it on.

One of the things you may try would be adjusting the font within leonArdo.
On the top right click on the thing that looks like a gear then select the fonts tab.


This should help with some things.

Excellent points @CTShaman. I'd like to add some more info which can be useful for people running (or planning to run) leonArdo on a remote server:

1. As you already said, I also would recommend xvnc4 as the primary choice (tried tightvnc before, doesn't work well).

2. xvnc4server worked great with a Windows client (Real VNC Viewer).

3. To minimize brute-force attacks, I'd suggest installing fail2ban, which is good for other services, too. Not the most straightforward setup, but there are tons of online howtos.

4. The remote server where I tested leonArdo was a Linode VPS with only 1 vCPU and 1 GB of RAM; performance was fine, about 30% CPU and RAM at most (but I wasn't running much more on that server).

Im not entirely sure why this is happening, but it's been like this on every PC that I've put LeonArdo on, the words dont fit the box and I cant read what its trying to tell me or what the indicator is... Quite annoying

QT5 takes advantage of extensions not available to all VNC servers.

One that is known to work is xvnc4viewer. (I am unsure about windows connectivity to it)

Be very careful about security my auth.log has tens of thousands of failed login attempts. If you are going to rely on your VNC password it better be a good one as most VNC only give you the option of 8 character passwords. Then if there are too many attempts the VNC will time out and you will not be able to log in until either the time runs out or you ssh into the box and kill the VNC (and your applications) to give you a chance to log in OR disable the counter which may work in an emergency but will make the box very vulnerable.

Optimally, setup your VNC server to disallow ssh passwords and only allow you to login via ssh through your public ssh key. I use Remmina to contact to the VPS through an ssh tunnel  looped back to  my localhost. The entire transmission is ssh encrypted and the vnc transmission takes place entirely through the ssh tunnel and all Remmina is doing is reading from localhost:PORT

Do not leave any unencrypted txt files on your server after you have added your keys to leonArdo. Encrypt them on leonArdo delete them from the server. Do not allow the browser to save anything especially passwords to your exchanges.

A few months ago a guy on the slack channel said he was going to setup a VPN. It seemed he only remembered the soundbytes he wanted to without understanding what he was getting into. Two days later he was on slack he said he setup his "windows" VPS and had been hacked, have not heard from him since. I thought at the time it was an inside job, it happened so fast.

This is why I have been so verbose about this, I want you to hang on to your coin until I have a chance to trade it from you!

Hi,

what specs (CPU, Memory, etc) does your VPS have and what software are you using to connect to the machine?

All the best,
