Disclosures

Don't use this software.

Installation

You'll first need to install the cryptomancer library.

>>> git clone git@github.com:choffstein/cryptomancer.git
>>> cd cryptomancer/
>>> python setup.py install

The requirements.txt file has all the necessary libraries.

Note that a pull request has been submitted to the ftx library. If it has not been accepted, a fork of the library can found here.

Secrets

Authentication information for different services is expected to be found in a .secrets/ found in the same root folder where the python scripts are being run.

Setting up the Database

For code relying upon the cryptomancer.security_master module, a postgresql server needs to be created. Corresponding authentication information should be kept in .secrets/postgres.json in the format:

{
    "SQL_URL":  "YOUR-SQL-URL",
    "SQL_PORT": "PORT",
    "SQL_DB": "DATABASE-NAME",
    "SQL_USER": "USER-NAME",
    "SQL_PASSWORD": "PASSWORD"
}

Once the server has been set up, you'll want to use alembic to create the tables. Make sure to edit the alembic.ini file to change the sqlalchemy.url configuration:

sqlalchemy.url = postgresql://user:password@localhost:port/database

You can then call:

alembic upgrade head

Example Usage

First, set up an account and subaccount at FTX. Set up a corresponding API key that has trading permissions. You then need to set up a secrets file that has the API key information. For example, .secrets/ftx_subaccount_1.json may look something like this:

{
    "API_KEY": "YOUR-API-KEY",
    "API_SECRET": "YOUR-SECRET-KEY",
    "SUBACCOUNT": "SUBACCOUNT-NAME"
}

Code in scripts/ftx_static_cash_and_carry_perpetual.py then provides example code for executing a static cash and carry trade.
