freqtrade

Simple High frequency trading bot for crypto currencies. Currently supported exchanges: bittrex, poloniex (partly implemented)

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
Config

trade_thresholds is a JSON object where the key is a duration in minutes and the value is the minimum profit threshold in percent whether the bot should sell. See the example below:

"trade_thresholds": {
    "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 immediatly if there is at least 2.5% profit
},

The other values should be self-explanatory, if not feel free to raise a github issue.
