---

Further Operation

The application can be stopped with by either a keyboard command (Ctrl-C) or by exiting the application. (Command provides the safest shutdown)

The tool can be run in multiple instances under the same executable, provided there is only one instance per exchange.

Should there be a need for multiple instances on the same exchange, there need to be unique installations of the AI/tool.

IMPORTANT

When adding money to a portfolio that has already been configured, ensure that you reset the performance data using the "Reset Data" button.

If you do not, the built in profit tracking will not be able to detect the new deposit, resulting in poor graphical representation. Resetting ensures that a new baseline is established.

Build

To ensure that the most recent release is genuine, check that the PGP-signature in "Signature.txt.gpg" is that of Nescience Software & Capital. Our fingerprint will always be available on our website's home page.

Further, the best way to validate a new release is to build/compile the CLI application yourself based on the Python scripts provided in the "Scripts" folder of our CLI github repo, while inspecting any new changes. This requires Python 3.5+ and a number of dependencies, and can be done following the steps below:

1. If you do not already have Python 3.5+ install an appropriate version as can be found here. (https://www.python.org/downloads/)

2. Open a command prompt and using these commands, download and install pip (pythons package installation tool).

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py

python get-pip.py

3. Ensure each dependency listed in "Dependencies.txt" are installed using pip.

pip install 'package==version"

4. For each exchange you would like to use, in your "Scripts" folder copy and paste the given exchange folder from the Nescience Folder. (Coinbase= "GDAX", Binance = "Binance", Kucoin= "Kucoin", Kraken= "Kraken", etc.)

---

At this point, the scripts will function if called using Python, run "Nescience_rebalance.py" and chose your exchange!
