incredibly robust repo.

I've gone through in every effort to teach myself compiling this repo and running, via emac/slime.

Any tutorials handy, or a kick in the right direction at least ? @adlai

Thank you, although I'm not certain how you measured robustness...

The code is still experimental, and can easily turn your balance on an exchange into a donation to its other customers, so I have not published an organized tutorial. In case you are nevertheless interested in experimenting with it yourself, here are a few hints:

• SLIME is helpful, although not necessary; you can also run Swank (the backend) in the same process where you run Scalpl on a server, and then connect to it for remote administration of a long-running bot.
• Quicklisp is helpful. You should be able to pull in all the dependencies automatically via Quicklisp.
• Some of the dependencies (CL-IRC, CL-DBI) are not necessary for minimal functionality.
• The files for the various exchanges are currently commented out in scalpl.asd, so make sure the one(s) that you need are in fact loaded.
• Once you've got your environment, you should be able to load everything with (ql:quickload "scalpl")
• Ultimately, you'll want to instantiate the gate class with relevant API credentials, a supplicant that manages that account, and a maker with the parameters for automated offer placement.

If you do get everything pieced together, one last tweak is: (setf *print-pretty* t *print-pprint-dispatch* scalpl.exchange::*pqprint-dispatch*) which enables proper display of financial values (although renders the common lisp image rather unusable for scientific computing, since it abuses complex numbers).
