## WARNING



***This is an old personal project without any guarantees - use solely at your own risk! Code may be not

optimal and may improve over time.

Depends on your configuration, bot may lose all of your deposit! For me sometimes it was profitable, sometimes wasn't.***



Please read `config.toml` and `doc/` before you will try to use this software.



## price-volatility-trading-bot



This is my old project which I fix and enjoy from time to time - be warned!



This is simple and easy to use trading bot written in Rust which supports (currently) Binance

crypto exchange where it monitors trading actions and builds it's own internal in-memory database

about short term trends amongst crypt pairs traded on the exchange.



Using it's own database and configuration parameters, bot makes decision whether

start to trade some pairs in hope for quick rise and profit. Bot tries to determine the most volatile pairs

that it's the best chance to fast profit (or loss).



More details about the main algorithm and how to adjust it to your needs you will find here: `doc/Algorithms.md`



By default, bot starts in simulation mode which only "simulates" real action. This mode is recommended for new users to

study how

bot trades. Simulation does not perform any real action on the exchange - it just informs what bot WOULD do if it was in

real trading mode.



Keep in mind that some real action can/can't be executed on exchange for various reasons, including bugs in this

software, hence

simulation mode can't simulate 100% of cases as binance matching engine it's a 3rd party provider which acts here as a

blackbox.

Hence, scenarios shown in simulation mode may/may not happen while real tradings.



There are some cases that are not supported yet, but are critical for your investment, the most notable: avoiding pairs

which are

about to be delisted soon. Bot sees big prices variations in such pairs and may trade them because of that. But when

delisting

happens you will end up with unusable pair in your wallet (on binance) - so keep in mind this particular scenario and in

current

version of the bot you have to check this delisting plans by yourself unless bot may "stuck" with useless pair.



**Generally investing in cryptocurrencies is very risky and don't do it if you don't accept huge risk of loses.**



In the config file you will find information how to run bot in real trading mode if you still interested in taking such

risk.



# How to start?



1) Clone and compile by `cargo build -r`



2) Generate your API key on binance, API key should have **as low permissions as possible**, for security reasons.

   Use env vars to provide API keys: `BOT_API_KEY` and `BOT_SECRET_KEY`



3) Read `config.toml` - MANDATORY!

   Have a look at `doc/` directory too for depth insights how it works.



4) Start bot in simulation mode and observe logs (logs are written in `bot.log`)



5) Start bot in real trading mode - optional and **DANGEROUS**



6) How to enable real trading mode you'll find if you read config file first.
