Bitfinex trading bot

Original idea: https://github.com/DorukKorkmaz/bitfinex-bot

This trading bot is using Bitfinex APIs to do automatic day-trading. It's main purpose is to buy low and sell high before the value is going back down.

DISCLAIMER: I will not take any responsibility for any money you might lose using this bot. Use it at your own risk!

Requirements

TALib is used to calculate technical analysis for the cryptocoins. All dependencies are included in the setup.py so you can use pip to install the bot. Additionally Python 3.8 > is required.

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ta-lib/ta-lib-0.4.0-src.tar.gz
tar -xzf ta-lib-0.4.0-src.tar.gz
cd ta-lib/
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install

cd bitfinex_bot/
pip3 install .

If you have errors during ta-lib installation, please see https://github.com/mrjbq7/ta-lib

Additionally I have the bot running in Google Cloud VM and it's using the google-cloud-logging to log all buy and sell events. If you do not want this, please remove the google cloud handler from the code.

Usage

You should insert your Bitfinex API key and secret into file bitfinex_bot/account_info in the following format:

<API Key>
<API Secret>

Modify the necessary parameters in the bot.py for your liking:

# Traded coin pairs
coin_pairs = ['btcusd', 'ethusd', 'iotusd', 'xrpusd', 'ltcusd',
             'zecusd', 'dshusd', 'eosusd', 'neousd', 'etcusd',
             'xtzusd', 'ampusd' ]
# Maximum spend in USD for single buy
max_spend_in_usd = 175
# Minimum spend in USD for single buy
min_spend_in_usd = 10
# Maximum number of different coins
max_number_of_coins = 7
# Candle intervals to fetch
interval = ["1m", "15m", "30m", "5m"]
# Trade fees in percentage
trade_fee_percentage = 0.002
# Desired profit percentage
profit_multiplier = 1.006
# Multiplier to break even with fees
break_even_multiplier = 1 + (trade_fee_percentage * 2)

If you installed the bot via pip, please install it again after updating the parameters.

Run the bot.py or 'bitfinex-bot' to start the bot.

TODO

• Add the parameters to configuration file and load it from there on-fly
• Add command line arguments
• Use Bitfinex WebSocket API for better performance and API limiting
• Publish history of trades of my experiences with the bot
