Tulpenmanie

A graphical markets client in PyQt4 that aims to provide a normalized trading experience across disparate markets, exchanges, and assets, with a GUI targeted at users with multi-monitor and tiling window managers.

Supported Exchanges

Dependencies

  • Python-2.7
  • PyQt4

Install

sudo python setup.py install

If you don't want to commit to a sudo, you can install to ~/.local

python setup.py install --user
# You'll need ~/.local/bin in your PATH or 
# you'll have to run the command  ~/.local/bin/tulpenmanie

Notes

Getting started

Tulpenmanie makes no assumptions about what you trade, so you must first define commodities, markets, and set exchange settings in the options->definitions menu.

balance display

Liquid balance is displayed, rather than total balance.

request queuing

Requests are queue in the following descending priority:

  • order cancellation
  • ordering
  • account info
  • ticker requests, chosen at random between tickers on a given exchange

Credential storage

Settings and API credentials are stored plain-text. On POSIX systems there are at '~/.config/Emery Hemingway/tulpenmanie.conf' and on windows they are stored in the registry.

Exchange Modules

CampBX

If you open a CampBX account as a result of this program, support the author and receive a 10% lifetime discount on commissions by using this referral url. Do note that a support ticket must be filed before API access enabled by default. (But look into it, last I looked they do those cheap Dwolla transfers without the photo ID bullshit)

MtGox

The MtGox module uses HTTP POST methods rather than the streaming interface, streaming API support is planned, but not a high priority. You notice that the ask and bid buttons are disabled when first starting the application, this is because MtGox takes orders in whole integers, and the multiplication factor is requested at startup rather than stored locally.

VirWoX

I'd like to give VirWoX an honorable mention as the bicoin exchange with the best API in my opinion. All relevant data is available over the API and all replies are in a consistant JSON format.

Development Roadmap

  • Open Transactions support
  • Modular and extensible charting with Matplotlib
  • Websocket and Socket.IO streaming connections
  • Start pushing things down into C++ and SIP wrappers
