Operations

getTrades is build to perform like an application python -m getTrades, and can be called directly from the commandline.

Best (and tested) operation is achieved using pipx ( https://pipx.pypa.io/stable/installation/ ) pipx run getTrades

1. make sure pipx is installed and operating correctly
2. make sure python3 --version says Python 3.13.3
3. open a command window and run pipx run getTrades
4. when no config.ini file exists it will be created, user is asked to provide name, API key and API secret. the program exits
5. the AES key with which the config.ini file is encrypted, is stored in the system keyring, as such you will be prompted for your system's password.
6. when run a second time, getTrades will call out to Bitvavo.com and retrieve all trades, wallet balances and current prices of assets.

Analysis

sample results:

1. in the leftmost column the token symbol is given, EUR_Wallet denotes the current real EURO balance in your wallet.
2. Token Balance is the current amount of tokens in your wallet
3. EUR(realized) is the result of all previous trades, result-investment per token
4. EUR(unrealized) is the Euro value of your current wallet tokens (including kept Euro's)
5. EUR(total) = EUR(realized) + EUR(unrealized)
6. price is the current market price of the token
7. BE-price (break-even price) is the EUR(realized) amount divided by Token Balance. This provides the price at which the remaining amount of tokens has a price that makes up for the investment in EUR(realized) (this metric is only relevant for situations where the EUR(realized) balance is negative (so (still) at a loss)
8. BE% is the % a token value has to increase to reach break-even
