nbin_golf 0.0.0.4

Package for working with Croesus and National Bank Independent Network File Formats

nbin_golf

The nbin_golf project aims to provide some scripts to manipulate Croesus trade lists and various file formats used by National Bank Independent Network.

Installing

First, install Python 3.8 or later. Choose the options to add python to your system path, and install for all users.

Start a command promt as administrator.

If you are not editing the code, install from the Python Packaging index: pip install natlink_golf

If you have the sourced cloned from github:

• Build the package with the build.cmd batch file.
• Install with flit install --symlink

Running

Currently the only command available is croesus_to_nbin_tradelist.

usage: Converts a Croesus generated (and somewhat difficult to read) tradelist into the (completely abstruse) Mutual Fund Bulk comma seperated value (csv) file used by National Bank Independent Network. By default croesus creates a .txt file opened in excel which is rather akward, but with multiple steps you can save the .txt file as a .xlsx file when you performa the save step in excel. If you forget and save as a .txt file, you can open the .txt file in excel and then save as an xlsx file.

The output file must be edited. You must verify the file is correct to your satisfaction.

The bulk mutual fund trade list will be saved in AO_xxxx_yyyymmdd_n.csv where xxxx is the advisor code, yyyymmdd is the ISO date, and n is the sequence number.

Note orders are buy and sell only. You can request the buys and sells are in dollar or shares.

An attempt is made to strip any orders for securities that do not have fundserv codes.

If you would like to sell all units of a particular security, you can add a column to the Croesus generated tradelist ‘Sell All’, and put True in that column for rows in which you would like to sell all units.

   croesus_generated_orders repcode sequence_number

positional arguments: croesus_generated_orders The generated orders from a Croesus rebalancing activity, saved as a .xslx file. You may add a column to that .xslx file (in any position) called ‘Sell All’. Place a ‘True’ in any row with a sell action, where you would like to sell all units. Leave it blank otherwise. repcode A repcode to be used in the file name. It can be any string, but you would be wise to use any of your own repcodes. sequence_number A number to append to the file name, in case you submit more than one file for mutual fund bulk trading in any particular day.

optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -d {c,r} c for cash dividends, r for reinvest dividends (default) --amount_type {dollars,shares} orders to be submited in dollars or shares. default is dollars
