py-trading-bot discord for discussion

[786449611]

hi, I am a vectorbtpro user but could hardly find a good one for live-trading. Your work saved me, thanks for sharing! But unluckily i have not got it work yet. I want a place to discuss with guys who use py-trading-bot, and I think many others also want too,

Is it OK for you to create a discord server to communicate? or use the one I created below?

He is doing a fantastic job. Read all the md under Doc to understand the process.

hi, thanks,
i am now stuck in installing IB gateway in wsl2.
searched some materials but not worked as expected, how did you make it?

Hi, sorry that I am really not so reactive... I have no problem that you make a discord, but presently I can really not promess to be online and I fear it will be a while until I am available again.
There surely are many things to be improved. I am not a professional coder.
Installing IB gateway, so it is not related to this bot I would say right? Or is the problem the communication between the bot and the running gateway?

hi, I have successfully installed IB gateway in Ubuntu. refering this link.
https://medium.com/@FMZQuant/instructions-for-installing-interactive-brokers-ib-gateway-in-linux-bash-feca03350844

but Got error after ./start_bot.sh in WSL2 ubuntu terminial (Win11)
it says ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'telegram'

and then browser opened http://localhost:8000/start_bot
showing "Unable to connect".

In my settings, i have used simple database as the guides says. PostgresQL is not installed/set.

here is my setting file:settings.txt

and, my IBgateway port is 4002 shown in IB, not 4001.
Could you check where is the problem is? Thank you very much!

telegram not found is because you did not install python-telegram-bot, which is normally included in vbtpro.

my IBgateway port is 4002 shown in IB, not 4001.-> set the right one in the bot in settings. Maybe it was a mistake from my side, who knows?

[786449611]

Error: That port is already in use.

Means that you have already the bot / django running.

This part, I did not understand. What did you comment out?

[786449611]

this!
because if not, it will generate SyntaxError: invalid syntax at [apt]

Error: That port is already in use.
Means that you have already the bot / django running.

So, no problem here? maybe because i have started bot several times.

by the way,
after this bot starts(broswer opened), I am not sure what to do next. It seems need to connect IB first, it seems no specific guides for this?

[ben1628]

You are jumping too quickly, you need to make sure your telegram is working first

That means you have to talk to bot father and setup your telegram bot.
Google on how to!

1. Go to test telegram to make sure you get a response from your own telegram bot

2. Use test ib to make sure you are communicating with IB

3. Read the installation guide, the documents under doc folder

It's a powerful bot which requires some effort to set it up properly

[ben1628]

If everything is working you will see something similar to bot interface1.png after do http to startbot

[psemdel]

The file of the migration is generated by django when you made the first migration. It is not coming from my repo.

About IB, you should start it before the bot (but it will work also if you do it afterwards, there is a fallback on YF).

You can create a report to test.
