Greetings all, I'm pleased to announce that our software has been restored to its formal glory, the instance equivalence of: "Yes, I just bought and sold while you were asleep". To bring you up to speed on what this entails, let me explain what this means, we have good news, splendid news, and bad news for ya.

Good news

Let's start with the good news, we've made the following accomplishments in our current operations:

1. The software has been operating nominally for extended periods of time (up to 1 week of continuous trading).
2. We have overcome the challenges of re-writing our code to fit the needs of the ever-changing world of the infamous centralized crypto exchange, Coinbase.
3. We have restored the analytics dashboard (from scratch) back to its original composition with full compatibility to Coinbase CSV reporting for accurate and detailed information as shown in the screenshot below.

Wonderful, so what's the splendid news?

1. Our analytics dashboard has shown gains throughout the lapse of our current year -- that being 2024, gains along the lines of $3,000 in unrealized gains made from scratch this year by yours truly, me.

That's enough shilling for now, please give me the bad news already.

1. Currently we're experiencing yet another major hurdle, Coinbase has decided to redesign their Developer platform yet once more, so not only has the reporting changed to conceal the market value in local Quote currency such as BTC or ETH, they're also doing away with existing API day-by-day operations in exchange for a more modern and state-of-the-art platform, meaning we have to re-write some more unexpected code once again.

Can we have a look at the 2024 YTD report?

Sure, here it is:

Please note that some of the columns are hidden, this is done intentionally to make the sheet more easy to read, those hidden columns include information such as "Coin Holdings", "Base Name", "Quote Name", and "Market Name".

The $3k is obtained from only the Unrealized gains, so as to ensure that we are not over-selling or falsely representing an incomplete picture of our gains and losses (basically we cannot neglect the excess or shortage of coins in our portfolio.

The headers in this spreadsheet are color coded more so to visually organize the information, same goes for the cells in the "Market Price Position" column, where it is green in the good values (meaning our position is advantageous), and conversely disadvantageous for red.

What is unrealized gains?

Basically what this means is that we still have open positions for those markets, meaning that we have not fully netted in solidifying those gains, and this is something that we have to counter manually because the trading software is not yet configured to make those adjustments in our portfolio.

Tasks that are yet to be done

We are currently in the process of accommodating a new code structure to fit the newly made Coinbase Advanced Trading platform, this will take about 2-4 full business working days to complete as it was somewhat unexpected, in the meantime the old code seems to be working just fine for all USD pairs, but no Ethereum or Bitcoin trading appears to be making it into the orderbooks.

It makes perfect sense that one of the columns was messing up the results when sorting by any column, here is the latest report for YTD April 2024.
