I found a need for a list of hole cards in descending for value for my Texax Holdem Poker Template for Unity. I did some searching online, and even asked a reddit, bad idea. Anyways, I had to generate the list myself after troll parade: string[] holeCards = {“AA”,”KK”,”AKs”,”QQ”,”Ako”,”JJ”,”AQs”,”TT”,”AQo”,”99″,”AJs”,”88″,”ATs”,”AJo”,”77″,”66″,”ATo”,”A9s”,”55″,”A8s”,”KQs”,”44″,”A9o”,”A7s”,”KJs”,”A5s”,”A8o”,”A6s”,”33″,”KTs”,”A7o”,”A3s”,”KQo”,”A2s”,”A5o”,”A6o”,”A4o”,”KJo”,”QJs”,”A3o”,”22″,”K9s”,”A2o”,”KTo”,”QTs”,”K8s”,”K7s”,”JTs”,”K9o”,”K6s”,”QJo”,”Q9s”,”K5s”,”K8o”,”K4s”,”QTo”,”K7o”,”K3s”,”K2s”,”Q8s”,”K6o”,”J9s”,”K5o”,”Q9o”,”JTo”,”K4o”,”Q7s”,”T9s”,”Q6s”,”K3o”,”J8s”,”Q5s”,”K2o”,”Q8o”,”Q4s”,”J9o”,”Q3s”,”T8s”,”J7s”,”Q7o”,”Q2s”,”Q6o”,”98s”,”Q5o”,”J8o”,”T9o”,”J6s”,”T7s”,”J5s”,”Q4o”,”J4s”,”J7o”,”Q3o”,”97s”,”T8o”,”J3s”,”T6s”,”Q2o”,”J2s”,”87s”,”J6o”,”98o”,”T7o”,”96s”,”J5o”,”T5s”,”T4s”,”86s”,”J4o”,”T6o”,”97o”,”T3s”,”76s”,”95s”,”J3o”,”T2s”,”87o”,”85s”,”96o”,”T5o”,”J2o”,”75s”,”94s”,”T4o”,”65s”, “86o”,”93s”,”84s”,”95o”,”T3o”,”76o”,”92s”,”74s”,”54s”,”T2o”,”85o”,”64s”,”83s”,”94o”,”75o”,”82s”,”73s”,”93o”,”65o”,”53s”,”63s”,”84o”,”92o”,”43s”,”74o”,”72s”,”54o”,”64o”,”52s”,”62s”,”83o”,”42s”,”82o”,”73o”,”53o”,”63o”,”32s”,”43o”,”72o”};

Sims are a very optimistic view of a trade strategy. The first serious problem I encountered was that my bot didn’t reliably buy with real money. I made my strategy keep track of when my bot wants to buy and sell through files, and I simply watched the attempted trades pile up as files. I used Autohotkey to keep track of the files and follow through with the orders by issuing manual trade commands on behalf of zenbot. I also realized it’s a terrible time to sell when the crypto peaks. Which is why my bot now sells before peak; pigs get slaughtered. I noticed no difference in the sims, but it did fix my leak with real money.

Using the –reverse parameter improves the default strategy.

@echo off
set _endPct=10
set _crypto=OXT-USD
set _strategy=dip
set _dipPct=3
ECHO Simulating dip 3 to 10 percent for %_crypto%
:loop
set _zen_cmd=zenbot sim –strategy=%_strategy% gdax.%_crypto% –dip_pct=%_dipPct%
FOR /f “tokens=2 delims=^()^” %%H IN (‘%_zen_cmd% ^|find “end balance”‘) DO set _roi=%%H
ECHO Spread: %_dipPct% percent  ROI: %_roi%
set /A _dipPct=%_dipPct%+1
IF %_dipPct% LEQ %_endPct% goto loop
PAUSE

I made this batch script to execute zenbot sim with 3 parameters. You can see how I placed those values into the string that will be the zenbot command. FOR is a bit of black magic; it sets the _roi variable using the output from the sim command where it finds “end balance”. It loops while incrementing _dipPct variable that gets used in each zenbot sim execution until it reaches _endPct.

Now I shifted this loop to be done in Autohotkey, and I only use the batch script to execute zenbot commands and close itself, (which AHK has trouble with for some odd reason).
