Program sequence

Main loop

  start = async () => {
    const start = now();
    log.info(`########## Started ichimoku ##########`);

    await this.collectRevenue();

    const markets: Market[] = await this.getMarkets();
    const marketSummaries: MarketSummary[] = await this.getMarketSummaries(
      markets
    );
    await this.evaluateMarkets(marketSummaries.map(({ symbol }) => symbol));

    if (this.config.enableReporting && !this.config.debug) {
      await this.report();
    }

    log.info(`########## Finished ${(now() - start).toFixed(5)} ms ##########`);
  };

Collecting Revenue

    await this.collectRevenue();

• Fetch you current balances
  • Only checks assets where available coins are greater than 0
  • Ignore assets that you want to HODL see config
• Iterate over every balance
  • Fetch current market ticker for this balance (e.g. ETH-USDT)
  • Calculates how much revenue is already earned (current value minus invest)
  • When greate than invest try to sell that bit
    • e.g. Current value 57 USDT with an invest of 50 USDT -> sell 7 USDT worth
    • It can only sell when the quantity will be greater than the minimum trade size allowed by bittrex

Evaluate Markets

    const markets: Market[] = await this.getMarkets();
    const marketSummaries: MarketSummary[] = await this.getMarketSummaries(
      markets
    );
    await this.evaluateMarkets(marketSummaries.map(({ symbol }) => symbol));

• Filter the markets getMarkets and getMarketSummaries
  • (if ignoreTokenizedStocks) Only use markets which are not tokenized stocks
  • Only use markets using the config.mainMarket here USDT
  • Only use markets which are ONLINE
  • Check against market summary to see if the quote volume is greater than 0 (market is being traded on)
• Use those filtered marked for the next step -> evaluateMarkets
• Iterate over every market
  • Ignore HODL markets (just buy some manually and HODL on)
  • Get candles
  • Count EMA ticks. Positive and negative
  • If you got some of that asset in your balance
    • If it's on the blacklist it will sell it. E.g. Bittrex delisting coins
    • If it got too many negative ticks it will sell it
  • If you don't have any of that asset in you balance
    • If it's not blacklisted and got the amount of positiv ticks it will buy

Selling: It will be a limit sell with timeInForce: TimeInForce.FILL_OR_KILL Meaning, either it gets sold directly or the order gets canceled and will be tried next round.

Buying: The positiv ticks need to be exact the value defined in the config. This will prevent buying into a market "too late"

(optional) Report

    await this.report();

Set enableReporting in the configuration to report your current state. You will also need to enter your url in api/BittrexApi.ts report()

This could be used to track your bot and how much your balances are worth over time.
