Trader bot

Bot for trading with crypto currencies.

Features

The current implementation supports the following main features

• Trading with different type of pairs on different exchanges
• Simulation of trading strategies
• Sending email notifications (nice when executing on a VPS)
• Composition of complex filters and detection logic (multiple filters applied to the same signal and complex logic between detection logics with AND, OR and NOT relationship)
• Scraping Tradingview to be able to trade based on trading view "gauges"
• Cross exchange detection (for example trading on FTX based on prices on Binance)
• Cross pair detection (for example trading ETH-USDT based on BTC-USDT price)

Some features were discontinued due to the lack of time, like

• UI for trading simulation
• (Storing and serving indicators with timestamps in mongodb
• Some features are only working with FTX exchange

Configuration

Generate default configuration

Configuration is done via a yaml file. A default file with the default settings can be generated with the following command.

cd backend
python3 tools/generate_config.py conf.yml

For details on configuration options in general, please check the comments in the config module.

Components

Trader-bot uses "message buses" to communicate between components. Two major message buses are used. This first one is for the analogue signals, like input signals and the other one is for detector signals. Analogue signals are provided by fetchers and filters and consumed by detectors. Detector signals are provided by detectors and detector combinations and consumed by traders. So to set up a properly functioning bot, you'll have to define all these components and the connection between them. This additional complexity was added to be able to set up arbitrary filter, detector, exchange and trader connections.

Running

It can be run in a container, using the following commands.

cd backend
docker image build -t traderbot .
docker container run \
	--restart=always \
	-d \
	-v `pwd`/conf.yml:/app/conf.yml \
	--name traderbotinstance \
	traderbot ./run.sh trader conf.yml

Contribution

PRs are welcomed in any topics. This bot was implemented and used only by me for several years and I've just made it public. Due to this fact it does not have an extensive documentation yet and there are several discontinued features due to the lack of spare time. I'll try to add some documentation and make the project more complete. If you're interested in the project check it out, then if you would like to contribute, please create a PR, an issue or contact me and let's create a great bot together.

Project is only mirrored to github, so if it's possible, please do contributions on https://gitlab.com/vargab95/trader-bot

Disclaimer

As it's described by the licence as well, there is no warranty on using this bot. It's only a hobby project, there can be bugs in the trading algorithm, simulation logic or any part. It can only be used at your own risk.
