SierraChart Feed for cryptocurrencies (New info starts on page 4)

[sukiho]

thanks for this and its working, but the only way to get any back data is to leave it running all the time?

[RyNinDaCleM]

Unfortunately, yes! I have been trying to get BTC-e to make historical data available since mid-November. As soon as it is, The feed will include the download for it to make things easier upon start-up.

[RyNinDaCleM]

BTC-e has finally released  Historical data. Unfortunately, it is in the form of a .rar file, so I wrote a script to convert/format it, and I have a download available. I will eventually set up a server to store a master copy of ALL data. At that time, I will rewrite the feed to automatically download the data, and even catch up the data for the instance where you shut down the feed for an extended period of time. Until that time (hopefully approx. 1-2 weeks) I have these LTC/BTC historical data and LTC/USD historical data. These files contain every trade from day 1 through about 2:20pm UTC on 31-3-2013.

To patch these files to your existing data:

• Stop the feed
• Rename your original file with a "2" on the end (ex. LTC_USD2.csv)
• Move the new file to the sierrachart/data folder
• Find the last trade in the new file. Note the date, time, volume (to prevent duplicates/holes in the data)
• Open the old file of the matching pair and scroll toward the bottom
• Find the trade noted above, and starting with the next trade, copy the rest of the file to the clipboard
• Go back to the new file and paste it to the first row, immediately following the last trade, in the far left cell
• Save and exit, then delete the old file

thanks a lot for that

thank you!  any plans to add PPC/TRC/NVC?

We'll see how they hold up! Maybe I'll start grabbing the data and release it with a proper chart. Perhaps I might be persuaded to hasten the addition of extra coins/markets

[therealodog]

seriously if you could add other coins and include history you would be the mannnnnn!

[RyNinDaCleM]

I do plan to add others. The Historical part is the problem. BTC-e doesn't have it available on their site. LTC was only available in .rar file (which won't work for my feed). The more people who ask BTC-e to make it available, the better the chance that they will, if only to get people to stop bugging them about it. I ask weekly, myself!

So my question to the community... What coins, and what exchanges would you like to see?

The next version of the feed will have some reliability upgrades, as well performance upgrades. Once the server is set up, it will also include a "catch-up" download so if for whatever the reason, you had to shut down the feed, it will pick up where it left off.

Excellent work; I will be following your developments :-)

Hey RyNinDaCleM, I've got a question. I received from a member who is still under newbie restriction so they couldn't post themselves, a warning saying your link has a trojan.

"The original poster has posted either by intent, or by accident a link to the BTCeChartFeed_win_binaries.
On source forge, the BTCe_Datafeed-v0.1.2_win_Binaries.zip application file, when scanned using virustotal dispositions the scan as a backdoor under the name Backdoor.PoisonIvy.CV
"

Any idea?

I have no idea! All commits are made by me. The last commit was in January, so no forks were made. The source code is available to all, and can be verified. If the Binaries aren't trusted then they need to build it themselves. I assure that the binaries are built from the same source.

I know with certain programs such as mining software, I have gotten similar warnings from AV software, so it may just be the AV not recognizing the program. The program does create a few files, so that might trigger it!?!

Here is a link to the number of downloads. https://sourceforge.net/projects/btcechartfeed/files/stats/timeline?dates=2012-12-01+to+2013-04-21 If there was something nefarious going on, I'm sure someone else would have brought it up too!

u sure is not a false positive ? i mean virustotal have 45 AV and only ikarus AV show a issue https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/24a02844853aa57fc2ab5636136612783ddc7afd56b3398d7b58cd20caa7badd/analysis/

im only really interested in LTC but i guess NMC could be good as it looks like gox will be adding it at some point too.

if you had to focus on one thing though, i'd say the historical data. i (and probably many others) can't use the feed because i have a laptop, so whenever i shut the lid, i get huge gaps in data!

[minefish]

Could you post the updated historical feed data through whenever you read this?

Would really appreciate it!

LTC/BTC up to 21:40 UTC 2013-4-22

To patch these files to your existing data:

• Stop the feed
• Rename your original file with a "2" on the end (ex. LTC_USD2.csv)
• Move the new file to the sierrachart/data folder
• Find the last trade in the new file. Note the date, time, volume (to prevent duplicates/holes in the data)
• Open the old file of the matching pair and scroll toward the bottom
• Find the trade noted above, and starting with the next trade, copy the rest of the file to the clipboard
• Go back to the new file and paste it to the first row, immediately following the last trade, in the far left cell
• Save and exit, then delete the old file

I am definitely working on this because I too get the problem. In fact, I awoke the other day to a dead modem so no data for about two hours. Once ready, There will be a new version of the feed released which will gather "all data after X txid" to catch up your data just for this reason. Until then, the updated data files will have to suffice.

Thank you RyN,

My computer accidently switched off tonight during an automatic update from Windows and did not turn on untill I woke a few hours later.
This led to a huge gap in my data.

Now I could ask you to upload the up to date data again. But doing this every time something goes wrong is not going to work.

I was thinking "well maybe there is a cheap server available to rent on which i can run an instance of BTC-e Chart feed instead off my laptop"
So i created a free EC2 micro instance on Amazon, installed BTC-e Chart feed and sierracharts, and now i'm able to run the chart feed 24/7 guaranteed.

So if you would be so kind to yet again post the updated data, i'll be able to update it on my freshly created server.

And maybe this way I can help you solve the issue off the historical data? I'm quite a beginner when it comes to using Windows Server 2012. But If someone can tell me how (and if it is possible) to make my up to date LTC/BTC data and LTC/USD data available on the internet from a Windows 2012 server that would be great!
