Crypto Trading Bot
@author Cameron Zuziak
DESCRIPTION: This is a crypto trading bot that trades crypto currency based off RSI. The user can set certain thresholds, such as the RSI buy in level, percent stop loss, and percent take. Once RSI dips below a buy threshold, the bot will wait for a retracement in RSI to enter a position. When a the bot enters a postion with a succesful market buy order, it will immeadiately submit a limit sell order at a set percentage price above the entry price.
Set Up:
-
Binance Account: This program requires a Binance or BinanceUS account, as well as associated API keys. Setting up an account on either platform is fairly straight forward. Information on creating binance API keys can be found at https://www.binance.com/en/support/faq/360002502072 Once API keys are generated, paste them into the config file, or set them up as environment variables (this will require editing binance_handler.py to reflect this change).
-
Twilio Account: In order to recieve text message updates on trades, this program utilizes the Twilio API. You can set a free account at Twilio.com and generate a phone number and account tokens on the website. For more information on this process see https://www.twilio.com/docs/iam/keys/api-key Add API information and Twilio phone number to their respective variables in the config file.
