Golang Crypto Trading Bot

Getting Started Guide

Usage

Download a release or directly build the code from this repository.

go get github.com/saniales/golang-crypto-trading-bot

If you need to, you can create a strategy and bind it to the bot:

import (
    bot "github.com/saniales/golang-crypto-trading-bot/cmd"
    "github.com/saniales/golang-crypto-trading-bot/strategies"
)

func main() {
    myStrayegy := loadStrategy()

    bot.AddCustomStrategy(myStrategy)
    bot.Execute()
}

func loadStrategy() strategies.Strategy {
    // create your strategy in some way
}

For strategy reference see the Creating Strategies section.

Simulation Mode

If enabled, the bot will do paper trading, as it will execute fake orders in a sandbox environment.

For each <exchange, coin> pair, a fake balance has to be specified if simulation mode is enabled.
