Don't worry Grover, like I said, it requires a bit of Python experience to install this at this point.

mrlithium, you said you have successfully compiled a Windows executable, maybe you could help out our Windows users?

mrlithium, thanks for your work. I've checked in the bugfix and will try your pyinstaller script as soon as I get the time. It looks very promising, I like the fact that pyinstaller supports so many target platforms.

No, it's true I am planning to release a Windows binary package that contains all dependencies (using py2exe), but I'm not sure when I will get around to do it.

Until then, BCB have you tried installing Xming on your Windows machine? We use that at work in cases like yours, where the application runs on a remote unix box.

You guys don't know what this means for a developer  I'm delirious 

A philosophical word on grahps: I have added that feature on the "ToDo" list, but I believe that there are so many excellent sites out there that do graphs so much better than me that I would like to focus on a lean, easy-to-use trading tool.

Thanks, mrlithium 

@gweedo great, glad to hear it

You need the permisstion to write to the application directory because of the log file. As you assumed correctly, sudo should fix this.


That's strange, do you have a running X server? Permission to use it? $DISPLAY set correctly? Maybe some linux guru could help us out?

@gweedo: try editing start.sh:

On the mac there is usually more than one python installed, and it's important to use the correct one. I have added OS-specific start scripts to the application.

Thank you!

Okay then multi-currency is definitely the top feature on my ToDo-list.

Yeah. That would be the first feature request sorry. Currently the tool only supports USD.

@nedievas: Yay!

If you find bugs or have feature requests just post them here. I only have a bit of time on the weekends to develop this, and I can't promise much, but input is very welcome.

No, you're just the first beta-tester try editing start.sh:

Thanks for going through this trouble. I will change what you find, so others will have it easier. It sounds like you're almost there, though!

nedievas: really sorry, wrong URL. The correct command should be:

Currently the installation requires a bit of experience with Python / Qt / PyQt. Next weekend I will work on a Windows-Installer, but until then, I'm afraid I don't have much time

prof7bit is right. And you should be starting application.py, not goxtool.py. Look above under "Installation"
