[Feature Request] Minimal Output GUI

[LoneWolf345]

System information

• Have I written custom code (as opposed to using zenbot vanilla):No
• OS Platform and Distribution (e.g., Linux Ubuntu 16.04):Linux Ubuntu 16.04
• Zenbot version (commit ref, or version): Current

Describe the Feature

I would like to have the option to change the terminal output to something that's much more simplified with less information. Example Mar06-12:35 [Price] [Signal] [Asset] [Currency] [profit%]
Since everybody would have a different opinion on what do show. Maybe we could move the output to a config file.

If we change it to your proposal somebody else will do another feature request to change it again soon after. If anything this should definitely be configurable, maybe something like:

c.gui = {}
c.gui.date = 19 // spaces
c.gui.price = 17
...all the fields you want...

[LoneWolf345]

I agree.

[defkev]

One possible problem i see with this is that some strategy's add their own output we would need to account for on a "custom" GUI, but apart from that this shouldn't be too hard to implement.

[LoneWolf345]

Could we move all the output to the strategy? Would that solve the issue? Is that a good/bad idea?

[defkev]

Rather not, would add a lot redundancy.

[Shawn8901]

why not keep a generic field for strategy-output like its currently implemented with onReport (maybe a bit more intuitive)? A strategy could then "publish" a default/advised value, which could be overridden.
on my opinion it would also be very useful to add a "custom" header line for the strategy

[LoneWolf345]

Maybe I'm getting a little off topic would you think it would be a good idea to have the header stay just above the current line instead of falling out of the screen to the top?
