bitraider

A Library of tools for algorithmic Bitcoin trading in Python. Bitraider includes a Coinbase Exchange API wrapper, a CLI dashboard for backtesting or running a trader, and an abstract strategy class that enables you to implement different trading techniques.

###Quickstart:

1. $pip install --pre bitraider

2. Create a new directory in which your trader will reside

   $mkdir example_trader
   $cd example_trader
   

3. Create a class that inherits from bitraider.strategy. Implement all necessary functions. NOTE: See example_strategy.py for a more thurough example.

   vim mystrategy.py
   

   from bitraider import strategy as strategy
   
       class my_strategy(strategy):
   
           def __init__(self):
               self.usd_bal = 1000
               self.other_attributes = 999
   
           def trade(self, timeslice):
               # This will get run in a loop for each timeslice
               pass
