LOL. good one, btc-e support doing anything ASAP is hilarious. I mean I hope so too, just don't have much faith in their support staff.
Assuming there is no fix from them do you think it will be possible to tweak the way you query the API so that it only retrieves trades after X date? I'd kind of prefer this anyway even if btc-e fixed their end since I have not much use for trade data from 2012 and whatnot, I really just want to be able to "start" from the past couple months. If there was a way to do this then I'd feel alot better about getting a year of unlimited membership.
I still think the site is coming along very well and encourage you to keep up the good work, there is enough people trading cryptocoins that a site like this could be very valuable to you and the community.
Hey,
yeah I still hope, BTC-E will fix it in the next days.
I really hope it.
If not, I will have to make a workaround like a loop till all the imports are done.
Let's give them one week. If not I will take care of another solution.
But I prefer a clean solution over the BTC-E API.
Best wishes, Dario
Okay, I've been using the copy import for a little while now and thats been going okay but here's a major bug I've been running into:
LTC/USD buy 0.1 LTC 10.35 USD 1.035 USD 10.04.14 08:54
LTC/USD buy 0.1 LTC 10.35 USD 1.035 USD 10.04.14 08:54
LTC/USD buy 14.4 LTC 10.35 USD 149.04 USD 10.04.14 08:54
LTC/USD buy 0.1 LTC 10.35 USD 1.035 USD 10.04.14 08:54
LTC/USD buy 0.1 LTC 10.35 USD 1.035 USD 10.04.14 08:54
LTC/USD buy 0.1 LTC 10.35 USD 1.035 USD 10.04.14 08:54
LTC/USD buy 0.1 LTC 10.35 USD 1.035 USD 10.04.14 08:54
LTC/USD buy 0.1 LTC 10.35 USD 1.035 USD 10.04.14 08:54
LTC/USD buy 0.1 LTC 10.35 USD 1.035 USD 10.04.14 08:53
putting aside the 14.4, guess how much LTC i've bought according to the portfolio? 0.2 LTC. I get that detecting duplicate trades seems like a good idea at first for people that don't know how to copy paste but it's a major inconvenience when you are copying a few pages of trades to have to either copy them into excel first to combine them all into a single trade, import pages unchanged and try to catch and fix them, change values so that it's like:
LTC/USD buy 0.1 LTC 10.35 USD 1.034 USD 10.04.14 08:54
LTC/USD buy 0.1 LTC 10.35 USD 1.035 USD 10.04.14 08:54
LTC/USD buy 0.1 LTC 10.35 USD 1.036 USD 10.04.14 08:54
which is also a pain. At some point I remember thinking "well I'll just use the 'test import' button to see where the dupes are then fix it." Big mistake, since test import doesn't detect dupes. Recently I copied in about 8-10 pages of trades throughout 2 days that I thought I fixed the dupes on and only noticed after that something got messed up. My option is to delete everything and start over, try to find the mess-up by comparing trade history side-by-side, or to spend an hour or two deleting every trade after a specific date and time (I say hours because there is no way to delete more than one trade or less than all of them at a time, you have to click delete. popup confirm. page load. scroll. why not some simple checkbox by each trade and then a delete button? it could still popup a list of each selected one to confirm)
And it's not like I can say "well I just won't buy/sell the same amount/price at the same time" If a user puts in 50 sells for 0.1 at 10.35USD thats how it gets filled when I enter 'buy 5 LTC at 10.35"
I hope I've made the case that this feature is clearly a bug. I can't see many users being helped by this and can imagine users constantly having their trade history distorted by it, so can we get a simple disable option for dummy duplicate warnings, or rather make it so that its just a warning and not a forced purge?
Thanks for reading and your anticipated response,
