please
git pull
and then run with
--protocol=pubnub
still experimental because I coded it in a hurry but seems to work already

Please edit the goxtool.ini and set use_tonce=True (and while you are at it also set use_http_api=True). It seems that with my current implementation some API requests during initialization come out of chronological sequence, making some API requests fail sometimes but the "tonce" which is only requres a 10 second time window has not such strict requirements and stilll works.
I have made this the default for new installations now but existing installations will still have the old settings in the ini.
Edit: and please git pull once a day, I'm still not finished with the pubnub stuff, its still a huge mess, their python API is ugly and incomplete and therefore the goxtool side of this is a huge pile of workarounds, I am still trying to fix it and make it more elegant and more reliable.

I don't know what happened, but my instance isn't responding to the balance command (pressing b) I tried using websocket and pubnub, tried a new API key and am up to date. Does anybody how to solve this? EDIT: I converted everything I got in my account (only 0.05BTC to test, maybe this isn't enough?) into BTC and as I pressed "b" after this, the bot rebalanced (it wasn't balanced before, but it wouldn't do it automatically). New orders were placed and I will let it run through the night and see tomorrow  |

0.05BTC
Is not enough. please read the thread, I have mentioned it multiple times. Load it at least with a few thousand dollars for it to make any sense. Minimum order size on gox is 0.01BTC, if you do the math you will see that your rebalancing orders would be too small by orders of magnitude. |

Was reading through the code and let it run simultaneously to test it...without thinking about the minimum order size. I will try it again later. Thanks for your work! |

I'm trying to get this to run on my linux box. I'm not normally a noob (been using linux since mid 90s) but I am a Python noob. If this was written in perl or something, no problem.  First problem was python-crypto wasn't installed. Second problem was python-simplejson wasn't installed. 1807 apt-get install python-crypto 1808 apt-get install python-simplejson So after that, we have a new problem. (sorry for the spam, but this is how the output came out. I did delete screenfulls of blank lines at least.)

Urghh. The code in balancer.py has:
# Load user.conf
conf = json.load(open("user.conf"))
# Set defaults
conf.setdefault('balancer_simulate', True)
conf.setdefault('balancer_distance', 7)
conf.setdefault('balancer_fiat_cold', 0)
conf.setdefault('balancer_coin_cold', 0)
conf.setdefault('balancer_marker', 7)
conf.setdefault('balancer_compensate_fees', False)
conf.setdefault('balancer_target_margin', 1)
So I assume it would use those as defaults if there's nothing in the conf file... Anyway, I don't know if I've pulled some new version from git or what because there's no instructions in this thread or the goxtool website about needing this conf file or what to put in it... |

user.conf
The _balancer.py this thread is about has no "user.conf", please see the link to the original in post #1 You also wouldn't have needed any additional json packages, all of goxtool is using the built in json moule that comes with a standard python installation, I don't know what this balancer fork is doing or what it needs exotic additional json libs for. |

Thats a fork of my original bot. I don't know what was changed in this fork and how to use it, I can only recommend my original as it is found in the link on page 1. |

Yes, I see, I'm studying the diff now. I didn't realise he imported your code into goxtool and made a few changes around the place (hence my confusion). It seems he did this relatively recently too. |

He probably added the user.conf stuff to support multiple installations on his multi user hosted goxtool server, probably heavy modifications because also every user needs his own account api secret.
The original _balancer does not need a config file, the way it is supposed to work in a single user setup is to edit the .py file of the strategy directly and then just press "l" (lowercase L) to dynamically reload the strategy at runtime (keep it simple approach, also for making code changes to the bot or similar experiments without needing to restart the entire application).

Its probably also a modified goxtool. Original code for original goxtool is at my repository (link in my sig) |

(Second attempt to post this. Bitcointalk is rubbish) Interesting service. I like his visualization: https://zerogox.com/sites/zerogox.com/files/chart-screenshot.pngWhat are people using to track their bots' progress? I've got a simple Google Spreadsheet that I manually update periodically. One of these days I plan to learn enough Python to automatically push trades to it as they happen, which would be much more interesting. But more relevant, how do you visualize and assess success from the bot? I look at both the 24 hour average exchange rate as well as the price at the time of the trade. They're both interesting views, and there's been a reasonable appreciation in balance by both measures. |

Its pretty hard to do this in a meaningful way if you are running a balancer. If you do some simulations you see that results can be all over the place just due to luck. You can draw pretty pictures of course, but if you are drawing conclusions from results over a reasonable time scale you are probably fooling yourself. |

You can use this: #!/usr/bin/gnuplot
set terminal wxt size 1000,650
set datafile sep ','
set xlabel "USD Account Balance"
set ylabel "BTC Account Balance"
plot '_balancer.log' using 3:4 with lines
pause -1
it will produce plots like these: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=181584.msg3911898#msg3911898 or here (same plot as above after a few more weeks):  |

This is awesome, and has given me a nice gentle way into gnuplot which has always seemed scary and hairy. I like with this plot how you can see the total edging forward slightly with each gyration of the price. Would be nice to show the time dimension in there somehow. |
