Are you using your own funds to pay for the expansion?  If so, why?

I appreciate the feedback. I've been reading a all the threads on bots in the forum that I can find so forgive me if I get a tad mixed up.

As I understand it its a great plataform, but you have to code your own bots. Or are there bot modules around?

Also, any tips on how to get it running on osx? As I said my coding skills aren't even rudimentary but I do have a trading strategy I wan to implement.

Appreciate the help Smiley.

There are two bots in the open right now, both written by the goxtool author (balancer and stop loss). 

I will help you, but it is a process if you don't already have the tools.

Install XCode (from app store) or command line tools
Then install Homebrew

See here for info on those first two steps: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/Installation

Ok, I am DLing the apps you suggested. I found and installed goxtoolGUI and have it running if that helps out process at all:

Paul.
Actually that is a VERY good sign.

Do I still need to DL xcode?  If I have the GUI running?

Smiley
Yes probably because you will want to install git and that requires homebrew, and that requires xcode for compilation (whew.... that was a line)

I almost did not want to answer for the embarasment. Yes, it was there. Thank you.
NP... we all have our moments so it is good to ask Smiley  Plus your question will help others.

May I suggest a nice to have feature ?
Suppose I have a buy for 94.23 and 94.23 is shown on the webpage.
I also have a sell for 95.66, not visible yet.
It would be very nice if I would see my trade in a different color, for example blue
An entry field to enter B94.23 would be sufficient Smiley Likewise -B94.23 to remove it.
The sale can be entered like S95.66

I think this would be a very nice addition !
How would you handle multiple trades?  Say there is an ASK for 5@150, but your ask is 1@150.   There is no way for CM to know where in that 5 your ask is.

Im writting a bot (Strategy class) and Im having the problem that goxtool sometimes will just quit leaving a grey screen with no error message, making it hard to debug where I have fucked up in the code. Sometimes the error will show but others it just completely kills the program with no explanation. Is there a way to find out what happen or a way to solve it so one can get a debug message?
STUPID QUESTION:  Nothing in goxtool.log?
148  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Chrome Browser extension: MtGox trading bot on: April 23, 2013, 06:14:47 PM
You might want to check out goxtool, it is a platform for bots.  I have been very impressed.

I've looked at it and it looks like a great tool, but the issue is that my grasp of trading principles is better than my grasp of basic programming. Goxtool is a serious bot plataform but it would take me a couple of hours to figure out how to get it to run and I'm guessing set up a linux virtual machine on my mac. The beauty of the chrome extension is that it is powerful yet very simple to edit.

Business idea: An OSX/Windows bot that is just anapp and easy to install where bot mudules that anyone can create can be dragged and dropped. That would be valuable.
It runs on my mac, although I have homebrew installed.

I ended up putting it on my linux server so it is always running, but regardless it does/will run on mac.  It will *not* run under windows (possibly cygwin).

PS: How does this forum handle his issue? Wink
You can set your TZ in your preferences.  I think it also attempts to auto detect like CM does.

Regardless it certainly is not a supplement or in any way related to anything natural so it's an illegal supplement. It was discontinued in Europe due to kidney and liver issues and modafinil was created as a safer and more effective version. You can get them online from other retailers I just won't sell it for my stated reasons.
Smart... I would prefer a retailer that is concerned about my health and laws than one who cares only about my money.

Nice, never heard of screen. thanks for the info, it's working now, even if I close the ssh client.

I have some scripts I wrote to help manage mine to make sure it is launched in screen (so I don't forget then close the session and think the bot is running):
Code:
$ cat botwindow.sh
#!/bin/sh
screen -D -R -A -S bot

$ cat ./startbot.sh
#!/bin/zsh
if [[ -z $STY ]] then
echo "Not in screen! Run ~/botwindow.sh"
else
cd ~/goxtool
./bot_balancer.sh
fi

So I can login and just type ./bot[tab] (botwindow.sh) and be connected to goxtool.  If it isn't running I can THEN run ./startbot.sh which will check to make sure that I am running in screen and then launch the bot.

The screen flags:

-D detach other instances if needed
-R reattach to this instance if it already exists
-A Adapt the window size to the new client... i.e. change the window size between my laptop and ipad as I switch back and forth.
-S name the session 'bot'.  This allows me to create other screen sessions without affecting my scripts.

I think a nice feature (although far from full proof) would be to cancel all orders if there are >2 bot orders, then place them again.  However it is still possible that some of those rouge orders get filled in the meantime.

I'm trying to understand wat might have happened to cause these symptoms, i don't have any idea yet. It should not trade if there are != 1 open orders, it should not trade if there are != 0 submitted but not yet acked orders.

How did you start goxtool, did you use --use-http or did you send the orders via the streming API? I cannot imagine any scenario where sending an order would *not* increment gox.count_submitted *or* the number of own orders in orderbook.owns. Either the sent order doesn't get acked then count_submitted will be != 0 or there comes the ack with order id for each order then count_submitted = 0 but orderbook.owns has a new element added. In both cases it shoudl stop sending more orders. The only way I could vaguely imagine was if you did not --use-http and submitted via socketio, never received the ack and order ID, a reconnect would reset the count_submitted counter [Edit: actually only a *successful* download of own orders will reset count_submitted, not a simple reconnect] and because of ddos and 502 error you would never get the full own order list download but for some reason all the submitted orders (submitted through socketio and never acked) would later go through all at once [because they were hanging around somewhere on the server in some kind of separate (undocumented?) queue all the time]. Thats why I recommend --use-http because that way you *WILL* get an ack for every order under all circumstances because the http call will either succeed (ack) or fail.

Are you running the latest version of goxtool.py and the latet version of the bot (3rd revision) from the github gist in post #1 of this thread or are you still using one of the older versions from the other thread?

If this happens again please save the log file (*before* you restart goxtool because restarting will truncate the old log)

I am using the version from this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=148462.msg1886914#msg1886914

My startup script for the bot:
Code:
./goxtool.py --protocol=socketio --use-http --strategy=_balancer.py

OK.. perhaps it was user error then.  I did notice that the bot did not get the updated orders OR the trade so I canceled the remaining single bot order and DID manually try to "P"lace orders multiple times.  I didn't think it was that high, and I do believe the log indicated that it was also placing the orders itself.   Go and put my son down for a nap... fell asleep with him and my gox history page is full of sells.

It isn't a big deal... like you said things can and will go wrong (esp when dealing with the gox api under load), and in fact I was able to buy it back without loss so it wasn't a huge deal anyway.

So it was very possible it was just PEBKAK.

Nonnakip, many thanks for the new features!

Thank you. I always work in the background to improve nastyfans. I have more features to do still.
I still find it insane (in a good way) that you use C++.

Fwhew!  The issues are slowly fading away...

Still problems that need to be cleaned up, but at least the problems people are having have workarounds. 

Working on the RAM-reduced, instant-startup upgrades now.  The new design will actually remove direct dependence on the blk*.dat files entirely!  There's just been way too many problems with it.  I'll simply retrieve and process data directly from Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind as a peer using regular getdata/getheaders/getblocks requests and maintain my own database.  And that database will start out duplicating everything, but I am doing it in such a way that it will gracefully support various subsets of that data, like pruned blockchain, lite-node, address-indexed, etc.  This way, users will have the capability to run using remote [trusted!] bitcoind instances, and use as much RAM as they desire.

Might be some time before I iron all of it out, though...


I can't wait!
156  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: goxtool bot: portfolio rebalancing on: April 22, 2013, 02:33:39 AM
So... Did anyone else have the bot freak out and place 30+ orders because of GOX lag today?


hmm i may have mentioned this.....need to make something like

if(watch.goxLag())
{
trade
}


goxLag()
{

if
{last.ping() > choose interval
return false}

...condition
false

....condition
true

}

etc

It wasn't just lag tho. When I looked there was only like 60s.  However I kept getting 503 errors all over the place. 

I think a nice feature (although far from full proof) would be to cancel all orders if there are >2 bot orders, then place them again.  However it is still possible that some of those rouge orders get filled in the meantime.

One last question, hoping you do not mind it. I just read that apart from a wallet and addresses in it there are also accounts in the wallet: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Accounts_explained

When a portion of bitcoins is spent from a specific address from a specific account within a wallet, the remaining amount is resent to an address within the same account or is resent to an address within a different account?

Thanks
Accounts are a logical unit within BircoinQt so you can group your transactions or easily see who paid.  If you don't know what they are then chances are that you don't need them. 

One thing I have not seen anyone here mention is ongoing backups.  You must continually backup the bitcoin qt wallet or it is possible you can lose coins.  The reason is because of change addresses, if the ui has to generate a new change address that wasn't in your previous backup then your previous backup is as good as gone.

Read up on it.

This looks promising.  Wink
