[Scidavis-users] Stock Exchange Data Analysis

[GPT <gpt...@gm...>]

Hello,

Case:

I have one instrument (X) and another (Y) which depends on (X). The
relation of these values is ideally deterministic but in fact Y fluctuates
around f(X).

The key here is Y trade starts after X stopped.

Hence, estimating the f(X) gives the opportunity to trade accordingly with
Y value on real time.

Question:

What is the correct manner to analyze the pairs of X and Y data I have at
my disposal?

For the time being, I carry out linear fitting at the last values in the
same trend.

It seems that it may work.

Comment:

If one likes and deals with these cases please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Pavlos

Re: [Scidavis-users] Version for Apple M1

[Russell S. <hp...@hp...>]

Speaking as the person generating the Mac builds, I only have an Intel
mac. I don't have access to Apple silicon. I am considering renting
some Apple silicon for testing purposes, but that won't enable a
native ARM build.

Re colour scheme issues touched on below, it is a known issue that
SciDAVis doesn't support "dark mode" well. This should really be supported
"under the hood" in Qt, but is not AFAICT.

Re: [Scidavis-users] Version for Apple M1

[Salvador C. <sal...@gm...>]

Hi there,

I've got the 2.8 version working on my M1Max studio... working just alright, with lights and shadows, which makes me think this is the Intel version working under Rossetta. It clearly has some issues with plotting: axis, labeling and stuff like that, I believe related to the color scheme changes MacOS uses with the dynamic desktop, at least in some extent. Not tried data fitting yet, though, so I've got no input on that side.

Best,

Salvador.

[Scidavis-users] SciDAVis 2.7 released

[Russell S. <hp...@hp...>]

I have just released SciDAVis 2.7, including Windows and Mac builds.

Note Windows's SmartScreen reports the Windows download as
suspicious. The software is code signed with a paid for certificate,
so if anyone can tell me why Windows still thinks it is suspicious,
please let me know, because Microsoft do not seem to respond to my
emails about this.

I have updated the Linux OBS packages, but things are not so rosy
there. Some distros are supported others have all sorts of weird
errors. I'll get to fix those if and when I get some time to do so :P.

[Scidavis-users] SciDAVis 2.4.0 released

[Russell S. <hp...@hp...>]

Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

I have pulled the trigger on the SciDAVis 2.4.0 release, and uploaded a
Windows installer and tarball to the SF File Release System.

No Mac build yet - it compiles into a runnable binary from sourcecode
using the MacPorts development environment, but I haven't succeeded
yet in creating a bundle that I can distribute. With a bit of luck I
can find the time to figure that out by the 2.5 release!

The build instructions on Github have not yet been updated. We now use
cmake - ask a question on scidavis-contributers if you need help.

I also have some work to get the Linux OBS builds working, so keep an
eye on the OBS repository to see if you favourite distro is supported.

Cheers

I'm pleased to announce that SciDAVis 2.3.0 has been released. This is

SciDAVis File Release System.

I will be working on the Mac release in the coming months. Sorry it

Re: [Scidavis-users] Scidavis v2.2.0 for macOS Catalina

[Russell S. <hp...@hp...>]

SciDAVis 2.x has not yet been released for MacOSX. 1.26 is the latest
version for which a MacOSX build is available. I don't know why MacOSX
thinks that a newer version might be available. I couldn't find any
description of how MacOSX works that out on Apple's website.

You only chance right now is to compile it from source code. There are
bound to be issues, though, as I haven't got all the prerequisites to
build on Mac yet.

I will announce on the usual channel when it is ready.

[Scidavis-users] Scidavis v2.2.0 for macOS Catalina

[Augusto N. <net...@gm...>]

Greetings folks,

 

On opening scidavis app in my mac, it prompts me up that version 2.2.0 is available to download. O hit the Yes button, which directs me to scidavis sourceforge web page. However, the scidavis-1.26-mac-dist.dmg file is available to download instead of 2.2.0.

 

How do I manage to get scidavis 2.2.0 for mac?

 

Cheers,

 

Augusto.

[Scidavis-users] SciDAVis 2.1.4 released

[Russell S. <hp...@hp...>]

I have just released SciDAVis 2.1.4. This builds against Python 3
(hence the major version bump) and Qt5, but is otherwise the same code
as SciDAVis 1.26.


*Linux Builds*

Binary builds for Linux systems are available from OBS
(https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:hpcoder1/scidavis). Recent
releases of Fedora, OpenSUSE, SLES, Ubuntu and Debian are all looking
good, not so healthy is CentOS, which doesn't seem to support python 3
out of the box.

*Windows and Mac builds*

I will in due course get out Windows and Mac builds, but there's a lot
of work required under the hood for these, and these are less urgent,
as the old 1.26 versions are still quite servicible on those
platforms.

*Version numbering*

I have switched to Semantic Version numbering. The old system of using
the third number to indicate beta status was confusing to people and
also software managers. So now, beta releases will have numbers like
2.1.4-beta.1, which actually precedes 2.1.4. Since we already had
numbers like 2.0.10, I started the semantic version numbering from
2.1. I'm not quite sure yet how I'll use the final digit (aka "patch"
number) - but probably I will increment the minor number whenever
there is any change to C++ code. The previous 4 patch numbers were changes
to the build scripts to get them to build on modern Linuxes, like
Ubuntu's Focal Fossa.

*Classdesc version*

I will still work on the beta classdesc version (old 2.0.x series),
and will release new versions under 3.0.0-beta.x labels. This is still
required for Windows support of Python, and clears a path for future
development, but not currently ready for production use.

* Patience required *

I am currently working full time split between 3 projects, so have
very little time to spend on SciDAVis. Just dealing with dependency
requirements for the various OSes literally takes days. So don't
expect much in the way of C++ code development in the near future.

* Sponsorship *

If you think SciDAVis is great, and like to support me working more on
improving the software, consider throwing a few shekels in my
direction. I am currently on Patreon
(https://www.patreon.com/hpcoder), and have just applied for a Github
sponsorship account. If you decide to sponsor me on Patreon, drop me a
note that it is SciDAVis you're interested in, as the Patreon site is
oriented around the Minsky project.

Cheers

[Scidavis-users] SciDAVis beta 2.x release

[Russell S. <hp...@hp...>]

I have managed to get Linux builds of SciDAVis 2.0.x beta working.

Older distros, such as RHEL and CentOS do not build due to unmet
dependencies, particularly Python 3.

If you are a Linux user, please take the scidavis2-beta package for a
spin, which you can download from
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:hpcoder1/scidavis2-beta

>From a user perspective, the only change you should notice is with
Python - it is python3, and PyQt is now gone, so there will be some
minor changes to the SciDAVis API (hopefully for the better). Also, Qt
is now Qt5, so there may be some other minor UI changes.

I hope to have Windows and MacOSX builds by the end of March, but no
promises, as I know just how difficult and time consuming it is to get
all the dependencies built. With the Windows build, this should enable
Python scripting on Windows, which we haven't had for a long time.

[Scidavis-users] SciDAVis 1.26 released

[Russell S. <hp...@hp...>]

SciDAVis 1.26 is now released - Windows and Mac builds on SourceForge,
Linux binaries from OBS.

Note: Not all Linux distros are supported - SciDAVis 1.x series
depends on Qt4 and Python 2, both of which are deprecated/EOLed. Also,
the Windows build fails to build on my distro of choice (OpenSUSE
Tumbleweed), but does build on Ubuntu 18.04, which is what I ended up
using.

I am working on getting SciDAVis 2.x out as soon as possible, which
should use both Qt5, Python3 and (hopefully, when we get there),
python support on both Windows and Mac (which I disabled in the latest
build, as it hasn't been working from some time).

[Scidavis-users] SciDAVis linux builds are broken

[Russell S. <hp...@hp...>]

Hi everybody,

Sometime during June, whilst I was away travelling, someone pushed a
change to the default qwt project to upgrade it to Qt5. This broke the
scidavis build for all RPM-based repos, and even worse, it seems to
have broken the ability to install the previously built and published
RPMs.

I am in the process of trying to create a new libqwt5-qt4 package that
can replace the system supplied one. This will take some time,
alas. I'm awaiting for the built artifacts to become available for
this new package.

Once done, I will then attempt to set up a Qt5 build environment to
produce a scidavis-2.0.x build.

Another problem I've noticed is that Ubuntu is complaining that the
scidavis packages are unsigned or expired (I can't quite figure out
which). Very frustrating...

If anyone would like to step up to maintaining the OBS projects,
please be my guest. I would much rather be doing something else, like
getting Python working on Windows.

Cheers

Apologies for the lateness of my response to this. It got caught up in
a moderation queue, and failed to inform me as list administrator that
moderation was required. Sigh!

Hi liwen,
Programming skills are not required to translate SciDAVis (and most other software) - I did the translation into Portuguese without writing any piece of code.In order to have SciDAVis translated to Chinese, it is necessary that some one that knows Chinese do the translation, and it will  will be incorporated into the code and made available in the next release.
Your contribution are very welcome.
If you want to translate SciDAVis to Chinese, please take a look at http://scidavis.sourceforge.net/contributing.html , in the left side you will find a link for the instructions to translate it.I can help you with more instructions to test your translations. I can also test if the translation works, but... I don't know anything in Chinese :)

Best regards,

If that it's half full or half empty is only related to a point of view. But the fact is that it is just half.

 Hi, 
I am a student From China, firstly, I am sorry about my poor English and I hope I can state my request clearly.
Lots of students in China has poor English, many good software like SCIDavis are lack of simplified Chinese language package at the same time,  so I hope you could add simplified Chinese language in it. Or could you tell me how to create the language file by myself, cause I don‘t know how to programming.
Thank you so much.

Hi Li,

Unfortunately, nobody in the SciDAVis development team speaks
Mandarin, but we'd be more than happy to receive a translation file
from you.

Resources for translating SciDAVis messages can be found at
http://scidavis.sourceforge.net/contributing.html.

Basically you will need to download the Linguist software from
Qt. This is a GUI tool that presents each message, and you type in the
translation for that message. I took over maintaining the French and
German translations, so its pretty easy to do. Google translation
helps resolve situations where you are not quite sure of the
meaning. It helps translating into the language you speak best, rather
than the other way around.

Then you need to generate a copy of scidavis_zh.ts, which contains all
the messages you need to translate. To get you started, I created one
which I attach to this email.

Ideally, if you could sign up to github, and use the git software to
contribute your translations via pull requests on the scidavis
repository that would be great. In the interim, you can send me your
translation file, and I can integrate that into the SciDAVis source code.
