Qtstalker Back Tester Trailing Stops seems not working

Kenneth — Sat, 27 Oct 2012 03:42:41 -0000

Hi All,

I am using qtstaklker v0.36, when I try to use trailing stops in back tester, it seems that the report doesn't have any related entries even I set the Loss % to 1. Is that normal?

Thanks!

Kenneth

CVS head: Undefined symbol: addButtonPressed2

David Crossley — Thu, 28 Jun 2012 01:30:56 -0000

Getting error with today's CVS:
Undefined symbols:
"GUIWidget::addButtonPressed2(...

Comment-out that line in:
plugins/Group/GUIWidget.h
and it now proceeds to build.

CVS head: missing PluginType.h

David Crossley — Wed, 27 Jun 2012 05:45:22 -0000

Trouble building today's CVS. It is looking for "lib/PluginType.h" and the file is not there. Also referred to in "src/Setup.cpp" file.

Also on Mac the filename extension for a library is "dylib". I committed that fix.

Git, SVN repos not working

Are you using also the Git and SVN for development? These are advertised on SF, but empty.
Thanks

trouble specify the Yahoo CSV files

David Crossley — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 04:40:41 -0000

With today's CVS using YahooHistoryDownload.pl script, there is trouble with the CSV files.

With the default pathnames (~/.qtstalker/yahoo/yahoo.csv and ~/.qtstalker/yahoo/symbols) and having done 'mkdir ~/.qtstalker/yahoo' and putting my "symbols" file there, i get this:

"Thu Jan 19 14:39:27 2012 /usr/local/share/qtstalker/quote/YahooHistoryDownload.pl started"
CommandYahooHistory::runScript: file error "~/.qtstalker/yahoo/yahoo.csv"
Script::run: command error "RUN" "ERROR"
Script::run: "RUN(downloader)"
QProcess: Destroyed while process is still running.

Edit those locations to declare full pathnames via the GUI (either somewhere else, or as /Users/me/.qtstalker/...) then it gets the first stage done and presents the second dialog. However it has forgotten the new CSV_FILE name, and presented the default location again (~/.qtstalker/yahoo/yahoo.csv). Edit that pathname again, and other things as default (Type=Stock) it does proceed but does not load the actual data to the database.

Tweaking the YahooHistoryDownload.pl to have full pathnames as default, and it works with no errors reported. However the data is still not loaded.

It does download the data okay into the "yahoo.csv" file, but not loaded to the database.

Using 'sqlite3 ~/.qtstalker/quote.sqlite' i can see that the relevant tables are created. The "symbolIndex" table is correct. Using '.dump' for one of the symbol files shows the "CREATE TABLE" statement, but no "INSERT INTO" statements for the data.

trouble with multiple CSV commands

David Crossley — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 06:49:08 -0000

This may well be something that i am doing wrong.

With yesterday's CVS my data loading script worked okay to load many separate multiple data files with the CSV command. (Although it does seem to consume more memory and swap space as it goes.)

Updating to today's CVS and modifying the script commands as shown in the YahooHistory script. Now it will only load the first data file, even though it does not report any errors as it processes the other CSV data files. Is there now an extra saving command needed after each CSV command?

Attached are my script and some test data files. You would need to edit the script for the location of the data files ($dataDir).

old D-Bus configuration prevents building

Anonymous — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 04:37:15 -0000

Current CVS head does not build. There are remnants of the recent experiment with D-Bus.

Until CVS is tidied, do this workaround:

cd cvs/qtstalker
make distclean

# remove the configuration for "qdbus" from the CONFIG line
edit lib/lib.pro src/src.pro

# remove the directory QtStalkerScript
rm -rf QtStalkerScript

# then configure and make as normal.

initial CHART_PANEL_REFRESH empty list

David Crossley — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 01:46:50 -0000

Starting a fresh installation with current CVS. My "data loading" script works well using COMMAND=CVS for a set of files. The CHART_PANEL_REFRESH at the end fails as follows (presume because there is no current symbol). Subsequent runs of the script are okay.
------------------
Thread 0 Crashed:
0 qtstalker 0x000231cc ChartPage::refresh() + 104 (ChartPage.cpp:276)
1 qtstalker 0x000291b8 CommandMessage::message(IPCMessage, QString) + 1140 (CommandMessage.cpp:67)

Scripts fail after using a Dialog

David Crossley — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 06:53:40 -0000

With current CVS, the script YahooHistoryDownload.pl does not work properly here.

It does the "YAHOO_HISTORY" step okay and collects the data into /tmp/yahoo_csv file okay using the specified date range.

However the script stops there, and so does not do the "CSV" step.

----------------
Script::run "0" "perl" "/usr/local/share/qtstalker/quote/YahooHistoryDownload.pl"
"COMMAND=YAHOO_HISTORY;
DATE_START=;
DATE_END=;
SYMBOL_FILE=/tmp/yahoo_symbols;
CSV_FILE=/tmp/yahoo_csv;
ADJUSTED=1"
CommandScript::scriptFinished 0 1
""QtStalkerScript::run: command not found ""
"2011-09-09T15:39:41 Script YahooHistoryDownload completed"
QtstalkerApp::messageSlot: "0;SCRIPT_DONE;*;/usr/local/share/qtstalker/quote/YahooHistoryDownloa
d.pl;DATA"
----------------

Then comment-out the "YAHOO_HISTORY" command, run the script again. It now loads the previously collected CSV data okay.

Similarly, using the recent CSV_Select_yyyyMMddOHLCV.pl script. It fails after the "FILE_DIALOG" command. Comment-out that step and provide a hard-coded path for "CSV_FILE" then subsequent CSV commands will succeed. Moving the "FILE_DIALOG" to later in the script shows that it fails after that.

So perhaps it is something to do with returning from finishing with the FILE_DIALOG type operations.

The indicator scripts do work properly.
