I only wanted the graph output to make sure the ta-lib functions were returning the correct values so I could use them to control my bot.
And how are the results?.
I manually created a ema function, basically following the formula you see everywhere in the Internet (f.e.
http://stockcharts.com/school/doku.php?id=chart_school:technical_indicators:moving_averages) but Im getting results quite different from bitcoincharts.com, specially for the hourly ema's but almost identical for the 1minute ema's. Because of this my guess was: the formula calculates the sma with the first periods and then starts adding the data as a exponential. I assumed this means that over time with enough data it would converge and that is why the 1minute ema's were almost identical while the hourly ema's were not, since Im getting data of two days and there is only 48 hours while there is 48 * 60 minutes. Does ta-lib get better results with data from one day only?
I don't think this functionality needs to be part of the main goxtool branch but a good strategy plugin using ta-lib would be handy. Like providing values and firing signals that can be caught.
I actually would love to have the the web part in goxtool, maybe just as a plugin or something.
EDIT: Also, can anyone give me a hint on how to create a separate debug file for my bot? The regular debug goxtool file gets too big and its very cumbersome to check.
