Get your exchange API key and secret after you register the accounts:

• For MAX: https://max.maicoin.com/signup?r=c7982718
• For Binance: https://www.binancezh.com/en/register?ref=VGDGLT80

Installation

Setup MySQL or run it in docker

Install the builtin commands:

go get -u github.com/c9s/bbgo/cmd/bbgo

Add your dotenv file:

SLACK_TOKEN=

TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=
TELEGRAM_BOT_AUTH_TOKEN=

BINANCE_API_KEY=
BINANCE_API_SECRET=

MAX_API_KEY=
MAX_API_SECRET=

FTX_API_KEY=
FTX_API_SECRET=
# specify it if credentials are for subaccount
FTX_SUBACCOUNT_NAME=

MYSQL_URL=root@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/bbgo?parseTime=true

Prepare your dotenv file .env.local and BBGO yaml config file bbgo.yaml.

To sync your own trade data:

bbgo sync --session max
bbgo sync --session binance

If you want to switch to other dotenv file, you can add an --dotenv option or --config:

bbgo sync --dotenv .env.dev --config config/grid.yaml --session binance

To sync remote exchange klines data for backtesting:

bbgo backtest --exchange binance -v --sync --sync-only --sync-from 2020-01-01

To run backtest:

bbgo backtest --exchange binance --base-asset-baseline

To query transfer history:

bbgo transfer-history --session max --asset USDT --since "2019-01-01"

To calculate pnl:

bbgo pnl --exchange binance --asset BTC --since "2019-01-01"

To run strategy:

bbgo run

Built-in Strategies

Check out the strategy directory strategy for all built-in strategies:

• pricealert strategy demonstrates how to use the notification system pricealert
• xpuremaker strategy demonstrates how to maintain the orderbook and submit maker orders xpuremaker
• buyandhold strategy demonstrates how to subscribe kline events and submit market order buyandhold
• grid strategy implements a basic grid strategy with the built-in bollinger indicator grid
• flashcrash strategy implements a strategy that catches the flashcrash flashcrash

To run these built-in strategies, just modify the config file to make the configuration suitable for you, for example if you want to run buyandhold strategy:

vim config/buyandhold.yaml

# run bbgo with the config
bbgo run --config config/buyandhold.yaml

Write your own strategy

Create your go package, and initialize the repository with go mod and add bbgo as a dependency:

go mod init
go get github.com/c9s/bbgo@main

Write your own strategy in the strategy file:

vim strategy.go

You can grab the skeleton strategy from https://github.com/c9s/bbgo/blob/main/pkg/strategy/skeleton/strategy.go

Now add your config:

mkdir config
(cd config && curl -o bbgo.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/c9s/bbgo/main/config/minimal.yaml)

Add your strategy package path to the config file config/bbgo.yaml

---
build:
  dir: build
  imports:
  - github.com/your_id/your_swing
  targets:
  - name: swing-amd64-linux
    os: linux
    arch: amd64
  - name: swing-amd64-darwin
    os: darwin
    arch: amd64

Run bbgo run command, bbgo will compile a wrapper binary that imports your strategy:

dotenv -f .env.local -- bbgo run --config config/bbgo.yaml

Or you can build your own wrapper binary via:

bbgo build --config config/bbgo.yaml

Dynamic Injection

In order to minimize the strategy code, bbgo supports dynamic dependency injection.

Before executing your strategy, bbgo injects the components into your strategy object if it found the embedded field that is using bbgo component. for example:

type Strategy struct {
    *bbgo.Notifiability
}

And then, in your code, you can call the methods of Notifiability.

Supported components (single exchange strategy only for now):

• *bbgo.Notifiability
• bbgo.OrderExecutor

If you have Symbol string field in your strategy, your strategy will be detected as a symbol-based strategy, then the following types could be injected automatically:

• *bbgo.ExchangeSession
• types.Market

Exchange API Examples

Please check out the example directory: examples

Initialize MAX API:

key := os.Getenv("MAX_API_KEY")
secret := os.Getenv("MAX_API_SECRET")

maxRest := maxapi.NewRestClient(maxapi.ProductionAPIURL)
maxRest.Auth(key, secret)

Creating user data stream to get the orderbook (depth):

stream := max.NewStream(key, secret)
stream.Subscribe(types.BookChannel, symbol, types.SubscribeOptions{})

streambook := types.NewStreamBook(symbol)
streambook.BindStream(stream)

Telegram Integration

• In telegram: @botFather
• /newbot
• input bot display name. ex. bbgo_bot
• input bot username. This should be global unique. ex. PeqFqJxP_bbgo_bot
• Botfather return bot token. Keep bot token safe
• Set TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN in .env.local
• Set TELEGRAM_AUTH_TOKEN in .env.local. Generate your own auth token. ex. 92463901, or kx2UX@eM
• Run bbgo
• In telegram: search your bot PeqFqJxP_bbgo_bot
• /start
• /auth 92463901
• done! your session will route to telegram

Helm Chart

Prepare your docker image locally (you can also use the docker image from docker hub):

make docker DOCKER_TAG=1.16.0

The docker tag version number is from the file Chart.yaml

Prepare your secret:

kubectl create secret generic bbgo-grid --from-env-file .env.local

Configure your config file, the chart defaults to read config/bbgo.yaml to create a configmap:

cp config/grid.yaml config/bbgo.yaml
vim config/bbgo.yaml

Install chart with the preferred release name, the release name maps to the previous secret we just created, that is, bbgo-grid:

helm install bbgo-grid ./charts/bbgo

Delete chart:

helm delete bbgo

Development

Adding new migration

rockhopper --config rockhopper_sqlite.yaml create --type sql add_pnl_column
rockhopper --config rockhopper_mysql.yaml create --type sql add_pnl_column

or

bash utils/generate-new-migration.sh add_pnl_column

Be sure to edit both sqlite3 and mysql migration files.

To test the drivers, you can do:

rockhopper --config rockhopper_sqlite.yaml up
rockhopper --config rockhopper_mysql.yaml up

Setup frontend development environment

cd frontend
yarn install

Testing Desktop App

for webview

make embed && go run -tags web ./cmd/bbgo-webview

for lorca

make embed && go run -tags web ./cmd/bbgo-lorca
