option	explanation
-a	add a config section
-d [#]	delete a config section (asks for config number if no config section nr is given)
-l	list all config section and their numbers
-u #	use a specific config section (by number found by -l option)
-k	(Advanced) use saved result set, don't query Bitvavo again

When no option is provided, a standard run will be executed, when more than one config exist, a config number is asked to run the program with

Initial run will ask for API and Secret to api.bitvavo.com and store this information encrypted in a config.ini file.

This will be the default and does not need to be specified further until there are more than 1 configs

Operations

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

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

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

Happy trading
