Jesse

Changelog

Here you can see that changes were made at each release of the main framework.

0.31.0

  • [NEW FEATURE] Testnet Bybit Perpetuals is now supported for backtesting, paper, and live trading
  • [NEW FEATURE] Added all_positions and portfolio_value properties to the strategy API
  • [Improvement] Automated "handling of take-profit and stop-loss that are priced the opposite of what they are supposed to" in strategies by closing the position instead of raising an exception causing the session to terminate.
  • [Improvement] Added support for cancelling (remaining) entry orders in update_position()
  • [Improvement] Error logs are now logged as info logs as well so info logs now include all the logs.
  • [FIX] Fixed Discord notifications not working
  • [FIX] Fixed an error when handling rejected (take-profit/stop-loss) orders in live trading sessions
  • [FIX] Fixed a bug that happened when live trading strategies that require "extra routes"
  • [FIX] The research module has been updated to support usage in Jupyter Notebooks
  • [FIX] Fixed a bug in database migrations

0.30.0 (GUI Dashboard)

  • [NEW FEATURE] GUI Dashboard is now available and replaces the CLI.
  • [NEW FEATURE] Docker setup is improved and is now a first-class citizen of Jesse and is shipped with all newly created Jesse projects. It enabled you to run Jesse with one single command!
  • [NEW FEATURE] Sending feedback and exception reports with optional log-file attachment right from within the dashboard.
  • [NEW FEATURE] Responsive design which makes it easy to use even on mobile devices (if you install Jesse on a remote server)
  • [NEW FEATURE] Added average execution time for optimizing mode
  • [NEW FEATURE] All main forms of the dashboard remember your inputs. So repeating backtests, etc is much easier with a click of a button
  • [NEW FEATURE] Ability to open multiple tabs (inside the dashboard itself) and run multiple candle importing and backtests in parallel.
  • [NEW FEATURE] You can choose between light and dark mode.
  • [BREAKING CHANGE] Environment variables are now set in the .env file, and application settings are now in the settings section of the dashboard. No more config.py and live-config.py files.
  • [BREAKING CHANGE] DNAs of the optimize mode are now defined in the strategy instead of the routes.py file
  • [Improvement] The error handling is now much more robust and reliable.
  • [Improvement] Every time you run an action like a backtest, the action is run in a separate process. This means that the action is not blocking the main process; hence, the main process can continue to run even if an error occurs. One example good that comes out of this is that notifications are now more reliable.
  • [Improvement] Installation of the live-trade plugin is now fully automated. No need to manually find your machine's info, download, and install.
  • [Improvement] Faster backtest execution with the debug mode enabled because of no actual terminal printing
  • [Improvement] Improved handling of database connections
  • And much more! This was the biggest release yet.

TIP

Starting from version 0.30.0, this page will include changelog of the live-trade plugin as well.

0.29.1

[Improvement] Change Python version validation to recognize 3.10 (understood it as 3.1 before) [Improvement] The CSV created from the optimization mode now uses tab delimiter, as sometimes chars from the DNA would mess up the file. [Improvement] The CSV created from the optimization mode now includes all metrics from the backtest. [Improvement] Added missing REQUIRED_PACKAGES to setup.py [DEPRECATED] 3D and Week candles have been removed, as they differed from the exchange.

0.28.0

  • [BREAKING CHANGE] on_take_profit() and on_stop_loss() event methods have been removed, and replaced with the on_closed_position() method.
  • [Improvement] If the price difference between the current price and order price are significantly small (less than 0.01%) Jesse will use a MARKET order instead of LIMIT or STOP. This probably has no effect on your backtests but prevents some communication errors from exchange's side in live trading mode.
  • [Improvement] Replaced crypto_empyrical package with quantstats. This means now the metrics in Jesse's metrics report and Quantstat's HTML reports should be identical.
  • [NEW FEATURE] Added smart sortino, smart sharpe and serenity options for the optimize mode's fitness metric.

0.27.3

  • [NEW FEATURE] Add support for FTX Futures exchange's perpetual futures trading (both live-trade and backtest).
  • [NEW FEATURE] Add initial support for Bybit Perpetuals driver (backtest only).
  • [NEW FEATURE] Added wavelet_denoising() utility function.
  • [Improvement] Can handle many of order rejection events that sometimes happen from exchange's side instead of requiring to restart your live session.

0.26.0

  • [NEW FEATURE] Add combinations_without_repeat utility to create unique combinations. Useful for optimize mode.
  • [NEW FEATURE] New indicators: Arnaud Legoux Moving Average, Holt-Winter Moving Average, Natural Moving Average, Ehlers Distance Coefficient Filter, Moving Average Bands, Ulcer Index, Moving Average Adaptive Q, MWDX Average, Variable Length Moving Average, Square Root Weighted Moving Average, Squared Weighted Moving Average, Variable Power Weighted Moving Average, Cubed Weighted Moving Average, JSA Moving Average, End Point Moving Average, Ehlers Predictive Moving Average, Wavetrend, Hurst Exponent
  • [NEW FEATURE] - New Moving Averages added to the ma indicator.
  • [Improvement] Minor code optimizations.
  • [Improvement] Packages updated - Update websocket-client from 1.1.0 to 1.1.1, Update scipy from 1.7.0 to 1.7.1, Update pandas from 1.3.0 to 1.3.1, Update numpy from 1.20.3 to 1.21.1, Update pydash from 5.0.1 to 5.0.2, Update requests from 2.25.1 to 2.26.0, Update ta-lib from 0.4.20 to 0.4.21
  • [FIX] The ma indicator now better handles volume which is needed for vwap and vwma.

0.25.0

  • [NEW FEATURE] Introduces a plugin-based system for exchange drivers.
  • [BREAKING] Requires a plugins.py present in the project.
  • [CHANGE] Adjustments in the candle store as was required by the live trade mode.

0.24.0

  • [NEW FEATURE] Added new utility functions that are used in statistical analysis of the prices such as for writing statistical arbitrage strategies: z_score, are_cointegrated, prices_to_returns
  • [IMPROVEMENT] Refactored how we execute routes in the live trade mode so the order of execution is the same as defined in the routes.py file. This makes it possible to write strategies that depend on it such as statistical arbitrage.
  • [IMPROVEMENT] Added support for M1 macs.
  • [CHANGE] The numba package has become an optional package which was a requirement for supporting M1 macs. Now numba won't be installed by default. This means, if you are an M1 user, you don’t have to install numba and you can install Jesse as before and it will work just fine. If you are NOT an M1 user, then you can still take advantage of numba by installing it through running pip install numba.
  • [IMPROVEMENT] Minor bug fixes

0.23.0

  • [NEW FEATURE] Added self.log method for easier logging from withing the strategy file.
  • [NEW FEATURE] Added new properties to the Strategy API: liquidation_price, mark_price, funding_rate, next_funding_timestamp

  • [Improvement] Rounding for live or paper now uses the required precision from the exchange. Could have caused exceptions before for coins with exotic precision requirement.
  • [Improvement] risk_to_qty and size_to_qty now round the qty down. As in some conditions the qty would otherwise exceed the self.available_margin / self.capital leading to the InsufficientMargin exception.
  • [Improvement] risk_to_qty now also accepts precision parameter.
  • [Improvement] The full report (quantstats) now uses 365 trading days for the metrics which makes its calculations crypto friendly. By sbkhoshopen in new window and mblumopen in new window.

  • [NEW FEATURE] New indicators: Elder Ray Index (ERI), ttm_trend, kurtosis, mean_ad, median_ad, skewness
  • [Improvement] Added a check for the right symbol format (with dash) for the import candle mode - preventing possible confusion and resulting errors.
  • [Improvement] A @cached property has been added to improve performance and avoid unnecessary repeated calculations. It's applied where sensible in the Strategy class and available via import to be used on indicators inside a users Strategy as well. Some strategies might see a huge boost because of this.
  • [Improvement] All indicators now use the helper functions same_length and slice_candles.
  • [Improvement] self.metrics is now only calculated if a trade happened leading to a performance boost.
  • [Improvement] The old way of working with strings in python (format) has been replaced with much faster f-strings leading to a performance boost.

  • [FIX] An error with the json export of the backtest that occurred is now fixed.
  • [FIX] Using futures mode you had to add all the used assets to the config.py file - although that should have only been needed for spot mode. This is not necessary anymore. Additionally the spot mode now gives clearer error if assets are missing in the config.
  • Multiple preparations for the live trade plugin. Other modes are unaffected by them.

0.20.0

  • New indicators: Fibonacci's Weighted Moving Average (FWMA), Sine Weighted Moving Average (SINWMA), Chande Forcast Oscillator (CFO), Kaufman Efficency indicator, High Pass Filter 2-Pole, Supersmoother 3-Pole, Kaufmanstop, Safezonestop, Devstop, RSMK, STC, RVI, VWAP,
  • New timeframes: 45m, 12h, 3D, 1W
  • [Improvement] The indicators now use the configured warmup_candles
  • [FIX] Spot should work no again thanks to a fix by discoheadopen in new window
  • [FIX] Sometimes users faced a InsufficentMargin error - this was caused by a small bug in the handling leverage of market orders.
  • [Improvement] Durations are now displayed without decimals. By maebertopen in new window
