# freqtrade

|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/gcarq/freqtrade)
|
|
|
|
Simple High frequency trading bot for crypto currencies.
|
|
Currently supports trading on Bittrex exchange.
|
|
|
|
This software is for educational purposes only.
|
|
Don't risk money which you are afraid to lose.
|
|
|
|
The command interface is accessible via Telegram (not required).
|
|
Just register a new bot on https://telegram.me/BotFather
|
|
and enter the telegram `token` and your `chat_id` in `config.json`
|
|
|
|
Persistence is achieved through sqlite.
|
|
|
|
#### Telegram RPC commands:
|
|
* /start: Starts the trader
|
|
* /stop: Stops the trader
|
|
* /status: Lists all open trades
|
|
* /profit: Lists cumulative profit from all finished trades
|
|
* /forcesell <trade_id>: Instantly sells the given trade (Ignoring `minimum_roi`).
|
|
* /performance: Show performance of each finished trade grouped by pair
|
|
|
|
#### Config
|
|
`minimal_roi` is a JSON object where the key is a duration
|
|
in minutes and the value is the minimum ROI in percent.
|
|
See the example below:
|
|
```
|
|
"minimal_roi": {
|
|
"2880": 0.005, # Sell after 48 hours if there is at least 0.5% profit
|
|
"1440": 0.01, # Sell after 24 hours if there is at least 1% profit
|
|
"720": 0.02, # Sell after 12 hours if there is at least 2% profit
|
|
"360": 0.02, # Sell after 6 hours if there is at least 2% profit
|
|
"0": 0.025 # Sell immediately if there is at least 2.5% profit
|
|
},
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`stoploss` is loss in percentage that should trigger a sale.
|
|
For example value `-0.10` will cause immediate sell if the
|
|
profit dips below -10% for a given trade. This parameter is optional.
|
|
|
|
`initial_state` is an optional field that defines the initial application state.
|
|
Possible values are `running` or `stopped`. (default=`running`)
|
|
If the value is `stopped` the bot has to be started with `/start` first.
|
|
|
|
`ask_last_balance` sets the bidding price. Value `0.0` will use `ask` price, `1.0` will
|
|
use the `last` price and values between those interpolate between ask and last price. Using `ask` price will guarantee quick success in bid, but bot will also end up paying more then would probably have been necessary.
|
|
|
|
The other values should be self-explanatory,
|
|
if not feel free to raise a github issue.
|
|
|
|

Feel like our bot is missing a feature? We welcome your pull requests! Few pointers for contributions:
|
|
|
|
- Create your PR against the `develop` branch, not `master`.
|
|
- New features need to contain unit tests.
|
|
- If you are unsure, discuss the feature on [slack](https://join.slack.com/t/highfrequencybot/shared_invite/enQtMjQ5NTM0OTYzMzY3LWMxYzE3M2MxNDdjMGM3ZTYwNzFjMGIwZGRjNTc3ZGU3MGE3NzdmZGMwNmU3NDM5ZTNmM2Y3NjRiNzk4NmM4OGE) or in a [issue](https://github.com/gcarq/freqtrade/issues) before a PR.
