What is the logic of profitPy ? Is it totally sequential ?
Victor
Is it all in one huge script that is doing everything:
1_ connecting to IB and getting market data
2_ calling indicators
3_ strategy : determining when the entry/exit points are
4_ executing trades
5_ manipulating windows on the screen to show all of the data:
raw, input, output, results
Or is it still in separate scripts that can be run more or less
independently,
so that if a novice run a simple MACD strategy, it is a small script,
that he could change ; while to leave the rest graphics etc. as it
is ?
* can one skip the graphics part totally ?
* can one run 2 strategies simultaneously ?
Anyway, people were begging for a simple example since few years now,
according to the past messages on this and IbPy group.
But it did not happen so far - does it mean that it won't happen ?
or is it just a question of legacy concept - meaning that it is
impossible to do it with one Python scrips, that potentially several
(at least 4 as in the above list) need to be running ? Is it at all
possible to run several or does it have to be just 1 do-all-script ?
If we think that several programs will connect to IB separately and
perform their tasks:
1_ can be done by IbPy or maybe even TradingShim
2_ is possible
3_ this is ?
4_ can one write a separate running daemon whose sole purpose will
be to execute trades sequentially from the list given in a file ;
maybe this is a great "missing" app ; it could execute some 3rd party
strategy running IDEs
5_ can skip this part totally - i am UNIX guy, not a Windows fan.
Welcome some comments, or perhaps some tips how i could achieve these
separate running apps.
