TradeBot is a cryptocurrency trading bot that uses the Binance API, and a strategy based on a couple of 5 minute chart indicators

• (RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands)

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.

• Percentage of money per trade - How much of available fiat to put into each trade (decimal)
• Trailing SL - Trailing Stop Loss (decimal)
