  • /start: Starts the trader
  • /stop: Stops the trader
  • /status [table]: Lists all open trades
  • /count: Displays number of open trades
  • /profit: Lists cumulative profit from all finished trades
  • /forcesell <trade_id>|all: Instantly sells the given trade (Ignoring minimum_roi).
  • /performance: Show performance of each finished trade grouped by pair

Development branches

The project is currently setup in two main branches:

  • develop - This branch has often new features, but might also cause breaking changes.
  • master - This branch contains the latest stable release. The bot 'should' be stable on this branch, and is generally well tested.
  • feat/* - These are feature branches, which are being worked on heavily. Please don't use these unless you want to test a specific feature.

A note on Binance

For Binance, please add "BNB/<STAKE>" to your blacklist to avoid issues. Accounts having BNB accounts use this to pay for fees - if your first trade happens to be on BNB, further trades will consume this position and make the initial BNB order unsellable as the expected amount is not there anymore.

Support

Help / Slack

For any questions not covered by the documentation or for further information about the bot, we encourage you to join our slack channel.

Pull Requests

Feel like our bot is missing a feature? We welcome your pull requests!

Please read our Contributing document to understand the requirements before sending your pull-requests.

Coding is not a neccessity to contribute - maybe start with improving our documentation? Issues labeled good first issue can be good first contributions, and will help get you familiar with the codebase.

Note before starting any major new feature work, please open an issue describing what you are planning to do or talk to us on Slack. This will ensure that interested parties can give valuable feedback on the feature, and let others know that you are working on it.

Important: Always create your PR against the develop branch, not master.
