A very simple bot that trades in the Binance market.
The bot uses RSI and Bollinger to estimate the best time to buy and sell
assets.
Characteristics such as length/period for analysing data can be accessed and
updated from ./bot/config.json.
- Create a Binance account.
- Enable Two-Factor Authentication
- Create a new set of API keys.
- Deposit some money or buy some cryptocurrency. Either some form of balance or currency is needed for the bot to be able to buy/sell.
- Create a the file
./bot/.keys.jsonand add your API keys. Example below:
{
"BINANCE_API_KEY": "<BINANCE_API_KEY>",
"BINANCE_SECRET_KEY": "<BINANCE_SECRET_KEY>"
}-
If you are using Linux/UNIX, I recommend changing the permissions of the created file to 600 for added security:
chmod 600 ./bot/.keys.json. -
If you are using Docker, then go to step 4, otherwise, skip step 4.
-
Build the docker image:
docker-compose up --build. Skip the rest of the steps (Isn't Docker great?) -
Install TA-Lib. The process differs depending on your OS, so please read the documentation.
-
Create a virtual environment.
python -m venv venv. -
Activate the virtual environment: Linux:
venv/bin/activate. Windows (Powershell):venv\Scripts\Activate. -
Install Python packages:
pip install -r ./bot/requirements.txt.
If you are using Docker, you would need to ensure that the containers are running. To run the containers, docker-compose up. Once you have started containers, you can run bash bot_shell.sh that will connect you to the bot container into a bash shell.
For those who are not using docker: cd bot.
As the name suggests, controller.py controls most of the automation. In order to start testing/running run python controller.py followed by args. To see a full, up-to-date list of the args, run python controller.py -h.
Usage
usage: controller.py [-h] [-t] [-m {balance_amount,balance_percent}]
[-p FLAT_AMOUNT] [-P BALANCE_PERCENT]
Arguments for setting up the Binance bot.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-t, --test-mode Run in test mode?
-m {balance_amount,balance_percent}, --buy-mode {balance_amount,balance_percent}
What buying strategy would you like to use?
-p FLAT_AMOUNT, --flat-amount FLAT_AMOUNT
Flat amount to pay for each buy operation.
-P BALANCE_PERCENT, --balance-percent BALANCE_PERCENT
Percentage of available balance to use during buy operation
(25=25%).
