        =========
        
        Command-line client for the Kraken exchange
        
        This command line client allows you to get useful public and private
        information from Kraken's API and displays it in formatted tables.
        
        Moreover you can place or cancel simple orders (only simple buy/sell
        market/limit orders are currently implemented).
        
        It is mainly oriented as an alternative to manually entering orders on
        Kraken's webpages, to save some time and eliminate mouse clicks. It is
        not optimized for automated use.
        
        See package on PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/clikraken
        
        **WARNING**: This software is currently in development. I consider it in
        *alpha* state, which means that it works well enough for me but hasn't
        been thoroughly tested. There are probably undetected bugs left. **Use
        at your own risk!**
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        Step 0: Create a virtualenv (optional)
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        You can install it in a virtualenv if you wish to keep this program and
        dependencies isolated from the rest of your system, but that's not
        mandatory.
        
        ::
        
            mkdir -p ~/.venv  # or any folder of your choice
            pyvenv ~/.venv/clikraken
        
        And activate it:
        
        ::
        
            source ~/.venv/clikraken/bin/activate
        
        Step 1: Install clikraken
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        ::
        
            pip install clikraken
        
        If everything went well, ``clikraken --version`` should output the
        program's version without error.
        
        Step 2: Add your API key in the file ``~/.config/clikraken/kraken.key``
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        You will need it to perform private queries to the Kraken API.
        
        (Create the config folder if needed: ``mkdir -p ~/.config/clikraken``)
        
        ::
        
            keykeykeykeykeykeykeykeykeykeykeykeykeykeykeykeykeykeykey
            secretsecretsecretsecretsecretsecretsecretsecretsecretsecretsecretsecretsecretsecretsecret
        
        You should probably change the permissions to this file to protect it:
        ``chmod 600 ~/.config/clikraken/kraken.key``
        
        Alternatively, you can set a path in the environment variable
        ``CLIKRAKEN_API_KEYFILE`` to override the default keyfile location.
        
        Step 3 (optional): Generate a settings file and adapt it to your needs
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        clikraken looks for settings in ``~/.config/clikraken/settings.ini`` per
        default.
        
        If the settings file doesn't exist yet, default settings are assumed.
        You can see the default settings by calling
        ``clikraken generate_settings``. Currently these settings are mostly
        useful for defining the default currency pair to use if the option
        ``--pair`` (or ``-p``) is not provided. *The current built-in default
        pair is XETHZEUR* (Ethereum/Euro). You may want to change that if you
        are mostly trading with another currency pair. Alternatively, you can
        set the environment variable ``CLIKRAKEN_DEFAULT_PAIR`` to override the
        default currency pair.
        
        You can generate your ``settings.ini`` by doing the following:
        
        ::
        
            mkdir -p ~/.config/clikraken # only if the folder doesn't exist yet
            clikraken generate_settings > ~/.config/clikraken/settings.ini
        
        Alternatively, you can set a path in the environment variable
        ``CLIKRAKEN_USER_SETTINGS_PATH`` to override the default user settings
        file location.
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        If installed in a virtualenv, don't forget to activate it first:
        ``source ~/.venv/clikraken/bin/activate`` (When you are done using
        clikraken, you can deactivate the virtualenv with ``deactivate``.)
        
        This command line client works by calling subcommands with their
        respective options and arguments (similar to git).
        
        Get help to see the available subcommands:
        
        ::
        
            clikraken --help
        
        Output:
        
        ::
        
            usage: clikraken.py [-h] [-V] [--raw]
                                {generate_settings,ticker,t,depth,d,last_trades,lt,balance,bal,place,p,cancel,x,olist,ol,clist,cl}
                                ...
        
            clikraken - Command line client for the Kraken exchange
        
            positional arguments:
              {generate_settings,ticker,t,depth,d,last_trades,lt,balance,bal,place,p,cancel,x,olist,ol,clist,cl}
                                    available subcommands
                generate_settings   [clikraken] Print default settings.ini to stdout
                ticker (t)          [public] Get the Ticker
                depth (d)           [public] Get the current market depth data
                last_trades (lt)    [public] Get the last trades
                balance (bal)       [private] Get your current balance
                place (p)           [private] Place an order
                cancel (x)          [private] Cancel an order
                olist (ol)          [private] Get a list of your open orders
                clist (cl)          [private] Get a list of your closed orders
        
            optional arguments:
              -h, --help            show this help message and exit
              -V, --version         show program version
              --raw                 output raw json results from the API
              --cron                activate cron mode (tone down errors due to timeouts
                                    or unavailable Kraken service)
        
            To get help about a subcommand use: clikraken SUBCOMMAND --help
            For example:
                clikraken place --help
        
            Current default currency pair: XETHZEUR.
        
            Create or edit the setting file /home/zertrin/.config/clikraken/settings.ini to change it.
            If the setting file doesn't exist yet, you can create one by doing:
                clikraken generate_settings > /home/zertrin/.config/clikraken/settings.ini
        
            You can also set the CLIKRAKEN_DEFAULT_PAIR environment variable
            which has precedence over the settings from the settings file.
        
        Each subcommand has different optional arguments, to get information on
        how to use a subcommand:
        
        ::
        
            clikraken SUBCOMMAND --help
        
        For example, the ``place`` subcommand has the following help:
        
        ::
        
            usage: clikraken.py place [-h] [-p PAIR] [-t {market,limit}] [-s STARTTM]
                                      [-e EXPIRETM] [-q] [-v]
                                      {sell,buy} volume [price]
        
            positional arguments:
              {sell,buy}
              volume
              price
        
            optional arguments:
              -h, --help            show this help message and exit
              -p PAIR, --pair PAIR  asset pair (default: XETHZEUR)
              -t {market,limit}, --ordertype {market,limit}
                                    order type. Currently implemented: [limit, market].
                                    (default: limit)
              -s STARTTM, --starttm STARTTM
                                    scheduled start time (default: 0)
              -e EXPIRETM, --expiretm EXPIRETM
                                    expiration time (default: 0)
              -q, --viqc            volume in quote currency (default: False)
              -v, --validate        validate inputs only. do not submit order (default:
                                    False)
        
        Usage examples
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        Notice: Without the ``-p`` option, default currency pair is taken from
        the settings file or the aforementionned environment variable,
        defaulting to ``XETHZEUR`` if neither of those exists.
        
        ::

        Requirements
        ------------
        
        Python 3.4+
        
        clikraken was developped and tested with Python 3.4, later Python
        versions should be compatible but haven't been tested yet.
        
        There is no plan to support Python 2 at all and it's unlikely that
        Python 3.0 to 3.3 will ever be supported. Sorry!
        
        clikraken has been tested on Linux (Debian Jessie) and Windows 7. I
        guess it should work with other systems but your mileage may vary.
        
        Dependencies
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        The dependencies should be automatically installed when installing
        clikraken with pip. But if working in a fresh environment (for example
        after cloning the source code to develop), you may need to install these
        manually with pip.
