Giving up PST

[robcarver17]

I no longer have the time to maintain this repo in the style to which it should become accustomed (though I do continue to trade with it). Looking for qualified individuals to take over (perhaps more than one, although I think there can only be one unique owner). Apply here or via PM.

[bug-or-feature]

I'm interested

Sad to hear the grandmaster is moving on and handing over the reins!

As a long-time lurker, @bug-or-feature appears a well suited candidate.

[craigmediaservices]

Double-checked repo history, I think he is the only suitable candidate unless Mr. Carver changes his mind.

I'm not interested in being the owner, but I would be willing to contribute code.

The statistics pieces are a bit over my head though.

Very sorry to see you give up the reins but you're obviously busy with other things that are hopefully more enjoyable. I hope you can find someone you trust to pick up and maintain/improve the code base. It's been an interesting journey these past few years for sure.

I have been testing out pst for deploying as a live trading system. I'll be happy to contribute as well.

[flipyou]

I don't think my coding is up to the required standard, but I'm happy to help with the documentation.

[AOS55]

Happy to help out where I can, I've been working to setup my own system and mainly focusing on the backtesting end at the moment.

• To try to understand how everything fits together I have made a dash page you can run locally with the backtest trade strategy so you shouldn't have to probe as much to get things going. It someone would like to take a look and see what needs to be added/removed and if we wanted to add as a howto/explanation. Let me know and I can submit a PR.
• Have maintainers also thought about putting the docs live as a github site or do most people just read straight from the markdown?

[AOS55]

Ok cool added pull request for the on develop so can take a look, not quite finished though take a look at this branch:

• https://github.com/AOS55/pysystemtrade/tree/dash under visualise.
• Yeah I get that we could have it as a github rendered page its quite easy to setup a runner and then build the docs with something like sphinx, mkdocs, docsify etc... Quite straight forward to setup the runner to build on branch you then just change it in repo settings.

The dashboard looks good, however I am not sure if its worth the effort retooling the system configuration (which also introduces new dependencies). It may be preferable to plug the dashviewer into the existing code instead. Dash may also be a good candidate for the production dashboard.

[AOS55]

Thanks, yeah I agree I just used Hydra as its what I know from running ML experiments no ties to it, happy to stick with original and just import the YAML and decompose to a dict with pyyaml.

It would be good to make something similar for the production dashboard, is there a set of requirements anyone has or can come up with as I don't have my own live trading system (yet) so it's hard to know whats important.

[bug-or-feature]

@vishalg @AOS55 maybe start a new discussion for this, it's not relevant in this one

[AOS55]

Moved to #1402

[oldlore]

Just curious if there was any update on this?

[bug-or-feature]

Rob has kindly given me write access to the repo. I have added a tag v1.80 for the latest commit on the develop branch.

I'll start a new discussion shortly about next steps

[robcarver17]

A very belated thank you to @bug-or-feature for taking this on. I plan to periodically check in, as I'm doing today, and help answer any queries where I can.
