maybe others are - for various other reasons.


The entire history was initially only a quick hack to be able to plot the recent 24 hours prices into the chart view. Ideally i would eventually implement somethiing more sophisticated that would provide more history, more different timeframes and then maybe also with numpy arrays. I'm waiting until magicaltux implements the API to query trade history of several different (most commonly used) timeframes in OHLCV format. Until then it remains only a quick and dirty hack to be able to plot the price chart.

Until then your bot needs to construct its Numpy arrays itself (maybe even from a local database or some other web service) and keep it updated with the trade signals. You could write a class that does all this, connects to needed gox signals and has a well architected and intuitive interface for usage by bots and also integrates TA-lib and then instantiate this entire thing from your bot during __init__. Once it is working I could look at it for some inspiration of how to design my own new history class once mtgox has the history api ready.


The format is the one used by mtgox api, all currency values are integers. BTC is an integer of satoshi (1e8), JPY is 1e3, USD and all others are 1e5.
