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)



[Download the latest release](https://github.com/markusaksli/TradeBot/releases/latest)



### 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 positive side maximum` - Buy signal 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



Setup the credentials.txt file to automatically log into live mode without having to enter your credentials



# 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).
