Needs more examples about python3-krakenex HOT 11 CLOSED

An example using the printing the result of an API call would be great. Say OHLC data for example, and printing the array.

from python3-krakenex.

Using the result of an API call is a bit weird to understand from the documentation on krakens site

Example: full logging.

Seeing how Kraken only keeps a short history available directly, including in its integration with cryptowat.ch, - show how to get the ledger while it's still available, and store locally.

Bonus points for instructions on displaying this historic data, e.g. by converting to a dataset understood by a web widget.

Hi,

I have made a simple script that send a market order.
The pair, type and volume can be set with a configuration file.
I personally use this to make a Dollars cost averaging strategy, just as described here : https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/5yyqn6/help_dollarcost_averaging_buying_eth_btc_on_a/

If you think it can be useful, I can upload this with pleasure on example section.

Important to say : I am far from being a good developper

Sounds OK to me @Dessoul - just make sure not to include API keys in git history. :)

@veox it is done. As I am not really comfortable with collaborative use of GitHub I hope I did not make a mess on the repo.
Feel free to tell me if there is any problem.
By the way, thanks for the job. Your library is just perfect !

from python3-krakenex.

Cool. For ref, that'd be PR #14.

Closing this issue, since there's enough examples now IMO, considering how tiny krakenex itself is.

@veox thanks for putting this all together. Maybe this is a dumb question, but in "AddOrder," how do you short with margin trading? Do you just sell with leverage?

from python3-krakenex.

@AlexFine I have no clue; I've never used the package for margin trading.

In a few "manual" attempts through Kraken's web interfaces, that indeed seemed the way: sell with leverage. But don't trust me on this one.

@veox I'll spend some more time investigating it independently. Once I get it working I'd be happy to make an example and push it to this repo if you're interested in adding it in the examples folder. If not no worries.

from python3-krakenex.

@AlexFine Sounds good to me if it's simple. :)

If it's, say, longer than a hundred lines of code, or uses more than a couple dependencies outside of the ones in krakenex's dependency tree (all via requests), then it's better to host separately.
