Arbitrage Trading Bot

Description

This is a simple arbitrage trading bot written in Python. The bot aims to identify arbitrage opportunities in different currency pairs over various exchanges and execute trades to capitalize on the price differentials.

Trading Strategy

Data Gathering: The bot fetches real-time price data for different currency pairs like USD/EUR, USD/GBP, etc., from Alpaca's API.
Storage: The fetched data is stored in a Redis database for quick retrieval.
Arbitrage Identification: For each currency pair, the bot identifies the exchange with the lowest buying price and the exchange with the highest selling price.
Profit Calculation: The bot calculates the potential profit from each arbitrage opportunity.
Trade Execution: If the potential profit is above a predefined threshold, the bot executes the trade.
