assistant_api

December 30, 2023

0.1 Process:
1. Prepare your data : our use case historical prices of BTCUSD
2. Load your FILE in OpenAI: client.files.create with purpose='assistants'
3. Create your ASSISTANT by specifying the model (gpt-4), instructions, tools (‘code inter-
preter, retrieval, function_calling’) : in our case, code_interpreter, to perform calculation
with Python. client.beta.assistants.create
4. Create an ASSISTANT FILE, by attaching a file to an assistant: The file in step 2 to the
assistant in step 3. client.beta.assistants.files.create
5. Create a THREAD to start a conversation and store history. You can feed the thread with a
list of files (in our case one file). Initialize it with a question. client.beta.threads.create
6. Create MESSAGES and add them to the thread as the user ask and interact with the model
client.beta.threads.messages.create
7. Create a RUN and run the Assistant on the THREAD
client.beta.threads.runs.create(thread_id=my_thread_id,assistant_id=my_assistant_id,)
When starting chatting with the model, you need to give it sometime to answer. You’ll find all
conversation stored in:
messages = client.beta.threads.messages.list(thread_id=my_thread.id)
[message.content[0] for message in messages.data]
You’ll get the detaills about the questions the user ask, and the assistant’s answers, weither it’s a
text or an image…
At each time, the last answer is stored in the first index of the list messages.data.

Based on the plot of the historical closing prices for the BTC-USD pair, several points
can be observed:
1. High Volatility: As characteristic of cryptocurrencies, the plot shows that Bitcoin’s
price had quite a significant level of volatility during this period. There are many
sharp ups and downs, which might represent big price changes within a short
period, reflecting a possible high-risk, high-reward trading environment.
2. Upward Trend: In general, it appears that there may be an upward trend in the
price, indicating an increase in valuation over time. However, we can’t solely rely
on this plot to ensure a sustained upward trend due to the nature of the asset’s
high volatility.
3. Noticable Spikes: There are several notable jumps in price (spikes), demonstrating

14
 potential investor reactions to news events or market sentiment.
Remember, financial markets are influenced by various factors, including economic in-
dicators, political events, and trader sentiment. Therefore, it’s important to consider
these elements when interpreting price movements. Always consult multiple sources
before making investment decisions.

Volatility is a statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security or
market index. In other words, it represents how large an asset’s prices swings. If the
price often changes drastically in a short amount of time, a security has high volatility.
In the case of the plot of the BTC-USD pair you provided, we can spot several sharp
rises and falls in price over relatively short periods of time. This quick and substantial
change in price indicates a high level of volatility.
Additionally, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are known for their high volatility
compared with traditional assets like stocks or bonds.
To give you a more defined measure of the volatility, we can calculate the standard
deviation or the average deviation of the daily price changes. Let’s compute the standard
deviation to quantify the volatility.

Absolutely! The following Python code snippet uses the 'pandas' library to
calculate the volatility of a given price series. Volatility is generally
calculated as the standard deviation of returns. In our case, we first calculate
daily returns and then compute the standard deviation of these returns:

```python
import pandas as pd

# Read the data

data = pd.read_csv('/mnt/data/file-Lqck39IJRlzd8LCCWd0UChe3')

# Calculate daily returns

data['Return'] = data['Close'].pct_change()

# Calculate the standard deviation of returns (volatility)

volatility = data['Return'].std()

16
 # Print the result
print(volatility)
```

Note: In this code, '/mnt/data/file-Lqck39IJRlzd8LCCWd0UChe3' should be replaced

with the path to your data file. The 'Close' keyword should be replaced with the
name of the column containing closing prices.

If you want the annualized volatility (usual metric in finance), you can
multiply the daily volatility by the square root of the number of trading days
in a year (commonly taken as 252):

```python
annual_volatility = volatility * (252**0.5)
print(annual_volatility)
```

Remember, this is a simplified measure of volatility. Financial markets are

influenced by much more than just historical price data, so this value should be
considered as part of a broader analysis.
Compute the volatility to assess the model results:
[237]: btc_data['Return'] = btc_data['Close'].pct_change()

# Calculate the standard deviation of returns (volatility)

volatility = btc_data['Return'].std()

# Print the result

Certainly! Here are two algorithmic trading strategies that you might find useful for
trading BTC prices:
1. Trend Following Algorithm: The most straightforward trend following strategy
is using a moving average crossover strategy. This strategy involves two moving
averages, one slower (long-term) and one faster (short-term). When the fast moving
average crosses above the slow moving average, it could be considered a buy signal.
Conversely, when the fast moving average crosses below the slow moving average,
it could be a sell signal.
In Python, you could use pandas to calculate moving averages:
# Calculate the short-term simple moving average
data['Short_SMA'] = data['Close'].rolling(window=20).mean()
# Calculate the long-term simple moving average
data['Long_SMA'] = data['Close'].rolling(window=100).mean()
# Generate signals based on crossover
data['Buy_Signal'] = (data['Short_SMA'] > data['Long_SMA']).astype(int)
data['Sell_Signal'] = (data['Short_SMA'] < data['Long_SMA']).astype(int)
2. Momentum Algorithm: The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a popular momentum
indicator used in technical analysis. RSI calculates the magnitude of recent price
changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions in the price. A common way
to use RSI is to look for a divergence in which the security is making a new high,
but the RSI is failing to surpass its previous high. This divergence would be an
indication to sell.
def calculate_rsi(data, window=14):
delta = data['Close'].diff()
up, down = delta.copy(), delta.copy()
up[up < 0] = 0
down[down > 0] = 0
average_gain = up.rolling(window).mean()
average_loss = abs(down.rolling(window).mean())

18
 rs = average_gain / average_loss
data['RSI'] = 100 - (100 / (1 + rs))
return data

data = calculate_rsi(data)
# Generate signals based on RSI
data['Buy_Signal'] = (data['RSI'] < 30).astype(int) # Oversold indicator (RSI<30)
data['Sell_Signal'] = (data['RSI'] > 70).astype(int) # Overbought indicator (RSI>70)
Remember, these longer-term algorithms can lag behind and therefore may not always
be perfectly optimal. You should always try to test different parameters and different
methods to best suit your trading style.
Also, all investing and trading involves risk, and past performance in the market does
not guarantee future results. Always conduct your own analysis and consider consulting
a financial advisor before making investments.

The last plot is empty because the buy and sell signals were not calculated and plotted
after the kernel was reset.
In the previous explanation, I mentioned two strategies - a Moving Average Crossover
for the trend following and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) for momentum. We could
define buy and sell signals as follows:
• For Moving Averages, a buy signal occurs when the short-term average crosses

20
 above the long-term average, and a sell signal occurs when the short-term average
crosses below the long-term average.
• For RSI, commonly used thresholds are 30 and 70. When the RSI dips below 30,
this represents an “oversold” signal and one may consider it a buy signal. When the
RSI goes above 70, this represents an “overbought” signal and one may consider
it a sell signal.
Let’s create and plot these buy/sell signals.

You’re correct, and I apologize for any confusion. The buy and sell signals for the RSI
should indeed be mutually exclusive.
The RSI is a momentum indicator, and traders often use thresholds of 30 (oversold) and
70 (overbought) to generate trading signals. When the RSI falls below 30, it indicates
that the asset might be oversold, and a price bounce could follow - a potential “buy”
signal. When the RSI rises above 70, it suggests that the asset might be overbought,
and a price pullback could ensue - a potential “sell” signal.
Let’s recompute these signals making sure they don’t overlap: we will only consider a
sell signal if the previous day’s RSI was above 70 and a buy signal if the previous day’s
RSI was below 30. This way we assume that we act on these signals the next day when
RSI crosses the threshold.

Certainly, here’s the Python code I used to compute the buy and sell signals based on
RSI:
# Calculate RSI signals - mutually exclusive
data['Buy_Signal_RSI'] = np.where((data['RSI'] < 30) & (data['RSI'].shift(1) > 30), 1, 0)
data['Sell_Signal_RSI'] = np.where((data['RSI'] > 70) & (data['RSI'].shift(1) < 70), 1, 0)
Here’s a brief explanation of the code: 1. data['RSI'] < 30 and data['RSI'] > 70
checks if the RSI is below 30 (oversold condition) and above 70 (overbought condi-
tion) respectively. 2. data['RSI'].shift(1) > 30 and data['RSI'].shift(1) < 70
checks the previous day’s RSI, to only consider cases where the RSI has crossed the
threshold of 30 or 70. 3. np.where(condition, a, b) is a function from numpy that
returns a wherever the condition is true, and b otherwise. 4. The buy and sell signals
are assigned a value of 1 when the condition is met, and 0 otherwise.
This code assumes that the oversold and overbought conditions are identified when the
RSI crosses the 30 and 70 thresholds. These buy and sell signals could then be used to
make decisions about trading in conjunction with other factors and indicators.
Remember, this is a simplified indicator, and actual trading decisions should consider
multiple factors and risk tolerances. Always backtest any strategies before live trading.

data['Buy_Signal_RSI'] = np.where(data['RSI'] < 30, 1, 0)
data['Sell_Signal_RSI'] = np.where(data['RSI'] > 70, 1, 0)
This code generated a buy signal whenever the RSI dropped below 30 and a sell signal
whenever the RSI rose above 70. However, there was an overlap as the signals were
not mutually exclusive. That is, the RSI could have been simultaneously below 30 (buy
signal) and above 70 (sell signal) which made it confusing to interpret.
In the corrected version, the buy and sell signals were defined not just based on the
RSI threshold values, but also based on a change in these values. By considering that
overbought and oversold states would exist when these levels are crossed, the buy and
sell signals became mutually exclusive.

role: assistant, content: Apologies for the confusion, but it appears that the
kernel was restarted and all previously loaded data are lost, which is probably
why there is a NameError for data. We need to reload the data. Let me do that

role: assistant, content: Volatility is a statistical measure of the dispersion
of returns for a given security or market index. In other words, it represents
how large an asset's prices swings. If the price often changes drastically in a
short amount of time, a security has high volatility.

In the case of the plot of the BTC-USD pair you provided, we can spot several
sharp rises and falls in price over relatively short periods of time. This quick
and substantial change in price indicates a high level of volatility.

Additionally, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are known for their high
volatility compared with traditional assets like stocks or bonds.

To give you a more defined measure of the volatility, we can calculate the
standard deviation or the average deviation of the daily price changes. Let's
compute the standard deviation to quantify the volatility.

________________________________________________________________________________
____________________
role: assistant, content: Based on the plot of the historical closing prices for
the BTC-USD pair, several points can be observed:

1. High Volatility: As characteristic of cryptocurrencies, the plot shows that

Bitcoin's price had quite a significant level of volatility during this period.
There are many sharp ups and downs, which might represent big price changes
within a short period, reflecting a possible high-risk, high-reward trading
environment.

2. Upward Trend: In general, it appears that there may be an upward trend in the
price, indicating an increase in valuation over time. However, we can't solely
rely on this plot to ensure a sustained upward trend due to the nature of the
asset's high volatility.

3. Noticable Spikes: There are several notable jumps in price (spikes),

demonstrating potential investor reactions to news events or market sentiment.

Remember, financial markets are influenced by various factors, including

economic indicators, political events, and trader sentiment. Therefore, it's
important to consider these elements when interpreting price movements. Always
consult multiple sources before making investment decisions.

There are many sharp ups and downs, depicting the high-risk high-reward nature
of cryptocurrency markets.

2. Upward Trend: In general, despite the noted volatility, there appears to be

an overall upward trend in the price of Bitcoin across the displayed timeline.
This suggests an increase in the value or appeal of Bitcoin through this period.

3. Notable Spikes: There are several notable spikes and dips, which could be the
results of particular events or news related to Bitcoin or the wider economic

 and technology sphere.

Remember that price patterns alone may not fully explain the causes of such
volatility. Factors such as regulatory news, technological advancements, market
sentiment, and macroeconomic trends can significantly impact cryptocurrency
prices.

9 Final thoughts
9.0.1 Data processing
�Right format It sounds obvious to say, but you need to give the right format of the data to
OpenAI. Otherwise, the model fail to digest the file.
How to become aware of this?
In the messages list object, you can access to all information the model is logging when it’s loading
the data. If an error occurs, you will understand the reason there.
messages = client.beta.threads.messages.list(thread_id=my_thread.id)
[message.content[0] for message in messages.data]
Once you’ve loaded the right format of your data in OpenAI and It can be fetched correctly by the
assistant API, the thread run correctly and quicly (depending of course on the size of your data).

34
� Clean-up: If the file loaded is not ok, it becomes a little bit annoying to delete it.
You need to delete in several places:
client.files.delete(file_btcusd.id)
client.beta.assistants.files.delete( assistant_id=my_assistant_id, file_id=id_file_deleted)
You need to do a regular clean up of : files, assistant_files, assistant,

9.1 Process:
� You need to give the model the time to answer.
� Sometimes, I get erros like: ” Apologies for the confusion, but it appears that the kernel was
restarted and all previously loaded data are lost, which is probably why there is a NameError for
data. We need to reload the data. Let me do that and compute the volatility again”
or
“Apologies for the interruption, it appears there was an issue with the code execution. Let’s run
the computations again.”
or
it needs to load again libraries like Pandas.
� It’s still a BETA version. OpenAI will certainly make it more robust

9.2 Model
� The model will give you the most accurate answer.
� One needs to be carreful and crosscheck the answers using other ressources.
� When you inform the model of its inaccuracy, even when its response is accurate, it will comply
with your feedback. However, caution is advised.
