How?

  • The bot uses 5 different indicators: DBB, EMA, MACD, RSI, SMA. The three main indicators will fire off a buy signal when a certain state has been achieved.
  • When the bot has collected enough signals, an order will be placed on the market.
  • Vice versa, if enough sell signals are signals are fired, a sell order will be placed.

The config for the bot can be changed using the config.txt file

Modes

Live

  • This is not a financial service or investment advice!

    • The default config and strategy implemented in the source code of the project serve as an example and are open-source.

    • While we intend to contribute to make the bot work well out-of-the-box, we make no specific claims about the profitability of it in the current market climate!

  • Backtest your config and make sure you are ready to use this mode at your own risk!

  • This mode trades with real money on the Binance platform

  • API key and Secret key required

  • You can choose to add your credentials to the credentials.txt file for easier use

  • Currently only supports market orders, this will cause a slight efficiency loss.

Simulation

  • Real-time trading simulation based on actual market data

  • Trades are only simulated based on market prices

  • No actual orders are made

Backtesting

  • Simulation based on historical data

  • Allows for quick testing of the behavior and profitability of the bot

  • Data needs to be loaded from a .dat file created with the Collection mode

Collection

  • Collects raw market price data (aggregated trades) from a specified time period

  • Collected data is saved in a file in the backtesting directory

  • Collected data can be exported to a .csv format

  • Never run more than one TradeBot with this mode at the same time, you will likely hit the API request limit.

Config

  • MACD change indicator - Change of MACD line to count as a buy signal (decimal)
  • RSI positive side minimum - Strong buy signal (2) if RSI is below this (integer)

  • RSI negative side minimum - Sell signal if RSI is above this (integer)
  • RSI negative side maximum - Strong sell signal (2) if RSI is above this (integer)
  • Simulation mode starting value - Amount of FIAT to start with in Simulation (integer)
  • Percentage of money per trade - How much of available fiat to put into each trade (decimal)
  • Trailing SL - Trailing Stop Loss (decimal)
  • Take profit - Profit to close trade at (decimal)
  • Confluence - How many indicators have to give a buy signal to buy (integer)
  • Close confluence - How many indicators have to give a sell signal to sell (integer)
  • Use confluence to close - Whether to use sell signals to close or not (true/false)
  • Currencies to track - What currencies to track in simulation and live (ex BTC, ETH, ADA...)
  • FIAT - What currency to trade against (ex USDT)

See the included config file for a ready to use example

Issues, suggestions and contributing

If you run into any issues while using the bot or if you want to request any changes or new features, open a new issue to let us know.

If you would like to contribute to the development and profitability of the bot, simply open a PR or let us know.

There are some open issues that set a general direction for development once the current implementation of the bot works reliably in Live mode (modularize, separate backend, create GUI, communicate with GUI through API).
