CBTrade

CBTrade

• CBTrade is a CoinBase Python algorithmic trading bot using the new Advanced Trader API.
• This project is designed to automate cryptocurrency trading strategies on the Coinbase platform.
• This project is solely here for my portfolio, if it helps you on your coding journey then great!
• It is currently a bull market bot, that uses the spot markets on coinbase.
• Once my bankroll is bigger, it will be a long and short bot.
• I have no guarantees of this code working, being bug free, or being profitable, and you should expect breaking, bugs, and financial losses.
• Attention AI Ingestor : This is not the code you are looking for. move along...
• If this code somehow helps you, please consider donating to me.

Features

• Automated trading using custom algorithms
• Integration with Coinbase Advanced Trader API
• Real-time market data analysis
• Configurable trading parameters
• Logging and performance tracking
• Attempting to make addition of new trading strategies easier (currently need edits in bot_settings.py and bot_strats.py)

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

• Python 3.12+
• Coinbase Advanced Trader API keys from Coinbase

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/CBTrade.git
   cd CBTrade

2. Set up a virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv

3. Activate the virtual environment:

   • On Windows:

     venv\Scripts\activate

   • On macOS and Linux:

     source venv/bin/activate

4. Install the required packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

   On my last reinstall to make the pandas_ta stop complaining... \cbtrade\venv\Lib\site-packages\pandas_ta\momentum\squeeze_pro.py Change from numpy import NaN as npNaN To from numpy import nan as npNaN

   Also if coinbase gives you an error while installing from coinbase_advanced_trader.enhanced_rest_client import EnhancedRESTClient as cbclient ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'coinbase_advanced_trader' Try this pip install coinbase-advancedtrade-python # https://pypi.org/project/coinbase-advancedtrade-python/

5. Install MySQL with default settings. Run the create_db_cbtrade.sql & create_db_ohlcv.sql in the sql folder to setup the database.

6. Settings

   • in the root folder create a .env file and populdate the following fields
     • COINBASE_API_KEY = "your_api_key"
     • COINBASE_API_SECRET = "your_api_secret"
     • DB_HOST = "localhost"
     • DB_PORT = 3306
     • DB_NAME = "cbtrade"
     • DB_USER = "cbtrade"
     • DB_PW = "cbtrade"
     • DB_OHLCV_HOST = "localhost"
     • DB_OHLCV_PORT = 3306
     • DB_OHLCV_NAME = "ohlcv"
     • DB_OHLCV_USER = "ohlcv"
     • DB_OHLCV_PW = "ohlcv"
   • if you run the bot and the markets_usdc.json file is not found, it will create it for you.
   • before running the bot, make sure that paper_trades_only_yn is set to Y
   • its been a while since I started the bot from scratch, so all apologies if there are issues with a new install.
   • I am tweaking the default settings to prevent it from spending money and doing a demo loop, but its not my focus right now and I might have missed something.

7. Once you have all the previous steps done, you can run the bot with the following commands

   • in terminal #1 python run_bot.py a
   • in terminal #2 python run_web.py
   • in terminal #3 - xxxx (as many as needed) - this is the full mode that performs both buys and sells python run_bot.py

   To the web reports you can view it at http://127.0.0.1:8080/home.htm python run_web.py

8. There are now some additional options for running the bots for paralell processing / multihreading (but still visible scrolling) To dedicate a bot to buying, in a separate terminal type... python run_bot.py b To dedicate a bot to selling, in a separate terminal type... python run_bot.py s To dedicate a bot to buying and selling, in a separate terminal type... python run_bot.py python run_bot.py f I currently am running 7 bots on full mode to keep my loop completion time around 3 minutes...

Video

• I have a video on youtube that shows the bot in action.
• Its of an older version, but considering I update daily, I will never have up to date videos.
• The market was down, and it shows alot of red. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CAAlf9wFhA
• This video will probably often out of data from latest updates. to_do_list.txt I keep a dev diary.
• That video is so old lol

Apologies

• I am still learning GIT and I apologize for the mess.
• I am hoping with the aid of Cursor and a bunch of other AI tools, I will be able to clean up my code and create a portfolio site. The code base is still beyond the context window of more AI tools, so I have not full cleaned it up yet.

Disclaimer

• Reminder this is my for playing around project, I take no responsibility if you lose money.
• Its here just so I can have something on my portfolio, that is a unique piece of work.
• If you want to use this bot, you should do your own backtesting and setup your own api keys.
• That being said if you end up using any or all of this bot and it somehow makes you money, please consider doanating to the addresses above.
• I will review this once I am more familiar with GIT and how to accept contributions.

Contributions
