Terminal Tmux (useful tips)

For STANDALONE mode you need separate terminal window for each task, separate for server and for each trading pair. If you plan to run a strategy on VPS then you need terminal program which:

• multi windows/panes
• continue running after end of ssh session
• auto save running state
• restore state after system restart

The Tmux meets all these requirements.

Tmux install

Install and setup all in list:

• Tmux
• Tmux Plugin Manager
• Tmux sensible
• Tmux Resurrect
• tmux-continuum

Find /service/tmux.service, edit your path and install it under systemctl.

Example for tmux configuration file .tmux.conf

set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tpm'
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-sensible'
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect'
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum'
set -g @continuum-restore 'on'
set -g @continuum-save-interval '15'
set -g @continuum-boot 'on'
set -g status-right 'Status: #{continuum_status}'
set -g assume-paste-time 1
set -g base-index 0
set -g bell-action none
set -g history-file ~/.tmux_history
set -g mouse on
set -g prefix C-b
run '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'

Attention: The name of session ('Trade') and pane ('srv', '0-BTC/USDT') must be same as in example and correspond pair which start in this pane. For example cli_1_BTCUSDT.py must be started in pane with name '1-BTC/USDT'

• Start new session:

tmux new-session -s Trade

• Rename pane 0: Ctrl+B + , srv Enter
• Change dir to the ~/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/exchanges_wrapper
• Create new pane: Ctrl+B c
• Rename pane 1: Ctrl+B + , 0-BTC/USDT Enter
• Change dir to the ~/.MartinBinance
• Reboot system
• Attach to the restored session:

tmux attach

You must see the same window as before reboot:

For each pane appropriate dir must be selected.

• Find /service/relaunch.service, edit your path and install it under systemctl.
• Run in the pane 0:srv server script:

./exch_srv.py

• Run in the pane 1:0-BTC/USDT trade strategy script:

./cli_0_BTCUSDT.py

Final test, reboot system. After reboot connect to the tmux session:

tmux attach

If everything has been done correctly you should see the restored strategy.
