Hy prof7bit,
maybe i am blind, but i left the parts as they were in the rebalancing bot.

what i saw now from looking into
http://www.rugatu.com/questions/14260/python-trading-bot-configuration-file

is that the rebalancing bot does
import strategy
and in strategy.py there is a function slot_keypress
in the bot of tarzan he doesnt import strategy and defines the class Strategy(goxapi.BaseObject):
- but if thats the problem, how does the balancing bot work?
thx

i started to look into goxbot and i must admit, i dont get anything, but anyway i will reach the goal of my own little bot. Wink plz help!

in my strategy module i got (copied most of it of the 50/50-balance boot)

Code:
import strategy
import goxapi


class Strategy(strategy.Strategy):

    """a protfolio rebalancing bot"""
    def __init__(self, gox):
        strategy.Strategy.__init__(self, gox)
        self.temp_halt = False


    def slot_before_unload(self, _sender, _data):
        pass

    def slot_keypress(self, gox, (key)):
if key == ord("b"):
    self.debug("canceling all rebalancing orders")

This can't work. Please fix the formatting and indentations. And set your editor to 4 spaces, no tabs (recommended style, used by most others too) and dont ever mix tabs and spaces. You should first make yourself comfortable with some essential concepts of the Python programming language with simpler examples and simple isolated standalone programs, follow some tutorials. You should not attempt to ride a motorbike until you can safely ride a bicycle. This will avoid many frustrations.

thx, so your log shows the message, mine doesnt; there is something wrong with my setup, but i cant figure out what.
i.e. this script prints out the messages:
http://www.rugatu.com/questions/14260/python-trading-bot-configuration-file

my bot  does load - debug message appears:

2013-04-30 15:30:24,177:DEBUG:testbot.Strategy:testbot.Strategy unloaded

and keystroke is registered, but the self.debug message doesnt print.

If I use it i.e. with an non existent bot file (goxtool.py --strategy=anything.py

it does not recognize the key pressed.
I am stuck with this

If key "b" is pressed goxtool displays: someone pressed key b,
But it doesnt display "canceling all rebalancing orders".
so, how to write messages to the log output?


btw: is there an easy way to get rid of the Winconsole output in the main window? I am running tail on the log in a second window, so its just superfluid for me?

Your strategy file works perfectly though it won't pay the bills.
Make sure you are loading it.  e.g.
Code:
python ./goxtool.py --protocol=websocket --strategy=_test.py
And you should see the load and unload in goxtool.log
Code:
2013-05-01 14:47:32,433:DEBUG:_test.Strategy:_test.Strategy loaded
...
2013-05-01 14:47:38,099:DEBUG:_test.Strategy:canceling all rebalancing orders
...
2013-05-01 14:47:40,974:DEBUG:_test.Strategy:_test.Strategy unloaded

MtQuid that looks terrific. Hopefully prof7bit can include that or something similar in the source.

Another solution might be being able to select what goes into the debug at runtime, so one could select to only have in the debug file the messages from the modules s/he wants. Im fine with any of both solutions.

EDIT: Also, can anyone give me a hint on how to create a separate debug file for my bot? The regular debug goxtool file gets too big and its very cumbersome to check.

To reduce debug clutter for writing strategies I use a crafty tail.  I did have a cut on the end but it lagged
Code:
tail -f goxtool.log| grep -E 'Strat|Trace|^[^0-9]'

Yeah, thats an option, but I still would preffer to have a different file so I can check it from time to time.

And how are the results?.

I just loaded the chart along with current data from bitcoin charts and they are pretty similar. 
http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/chart.json?m=mtgoxUSD&r=1&i=15-min
I don't know what weighted moving average function they are using but the data is close enough for my use though I probably should check it out on a few more days before I invest the yacht Cheesy
If you use this data you will need to alter the timestamp for HighStock.js  add on 000 (three zeros)

EDIT: I haven't checked for the 1 hour EMAs but will do some more testing and experimenting later.  Using the TA-Lib you can specify the timeperiod and then ignore those first timeperiod output values as the results settle down.  I've used the default values from bitcoincharts.  Simple at 10 and Weighted at 25.

Thanks for the direction, I will try using ta-lib between today and tomorrow, hopefully it gives better results that my manually created one (which its not difficult...).

I just put this together.
This will create a log file for each loaded strategy as well as sending log messages to the main log.
Maybe prof7bit could check it over and put it into the main source.
It's a quick hack but it works.
And you call self.debug() just like before and there is a new function self.info() for different log level.

Change Strategy.py to look like this.

Would you be willing to share a basic demo of the Ta-lib integration?  I do not live in python so it would be very helpful for me, and I am sure others. 

Ok.

We will use TA-Lib for bython from these lovely chaps
http://mrjbq7.github.io/ta-lib/index.html

Assuming you are working on a debian system you will need to do the following to install ta-lib for python
If on windows or mac then check http://mrjbq7.github.io/ta-lib/install.html

Code:
sudo apt-get install python-dev
sudo easy_install cython

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ta-lib/ta-lib-0.4.0-src.tar.gz
tar -xvf ta-lib-0.4.0-src.tar.gz
cd ta-lib
./configure --prefix=/usr
make

#can use make install here if you want
sudo checkinstall

sudo easy_install TA-Lib

I only wanted the graph output to make sure the ta-lib functions were returning the correct values so I could use them to control my bot.

And how are the results?.

I manually created a ema function, basically following the formula you see everywhere in the Internet (f.e. http://stockcharts.com/school/doku.php?id=chart_school:technical_indicators:moving_averages) but Im getting results quite different from bitcoincharts.com, specially for the hourly ema's but almost identical for the 1minute ema's. Because of this my guess was: the formula calculates the sma with the first periods and then starts adding the data as a exponential. I assumed this means that over time with enough data it would converge and that is why the 1minute ema's were almost identical while the hourly ema's were not, since Im getting data of two days and there is only 48 hours while there is 48 * 60 minutes. Does ta-lib get better results with data from one day only?

Quote
I don't think this functionality needs to be part of the main goxtool branch but a good strategy plugin using ta-lib would be handy.  Like providing values and firing signals that can be caught.

I actually would love to have the the web part in goxtool, maybe just as a plugin or something.

Yep they do look good.  I robbed some of the colour styling straight from MtGox.com

I only wanted the graph output to make sure the ta-lib functions were returning the correct values so I could use them to control my bot.  I don't think this functionality needs to be part of the main goxtool branch but a good strategy plugin using ta-lib would be handy.  Like providing values and firing signals that can be caught.

And because the data sets are small (1 days worth of trade) you could write the whole index.html file to include the data and then there would be no need for the .json files or a web server.  Just pops out a stand alone html page every now and again if that's what you require.

I've also moved my function so it automatically gets called when new history arrives.

Code:
    def slot_history_changed(self, history, _dummy):
        """History has changed so recalculate EMAs"""

Now to try and find the best usage for the ta-lib functions and make some coins..  Grin

I had some problems to see HTML file
so I contacted MtQuid using PM
I post here for other members

in fact you have to run a webserver (and not directly open HTML file with a browser)

Quote
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080

Open index.htm in your web browser using this url http://127.0.0.1:8080/index.hml


You will get a beautiful chart



It will be nice to also make orderbook depth chart with a JS lib

Maybe adding this feature to goxgui (goxtool GUI) will be fine

@MtQuid

How far back does that 'historical' day pull from?  Since GoxTool started?

It's using the same history candles that prof7bit uses for the trade graph.  So it goes back a day in 15 minute blocks.
Though you can change the history_timeframe value in goxtool.ini to change the block size.
