freqtrade
Simple High frequency trading bot for crypto currencies. Currently supports trading on Bittrex exchange.
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 [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
- /balance: Show account balance per currency
- /daily : Shows profit or loss per day, over the last n days
- /help: Show help message
- /version: Show version
Config
minimal_roi
is a JSON object where the key is a duration
in minutes and the value is the minimum ROI in percent.
See the example below:
"minimal_roi": {
"40": 0.0, # Sell after 40 minutes if the profit is not negative
"30": 0.01, # Sell after 30 minutes if there is at least 1% profit
"20": 0.02, # Sell after 20 minutes if there is at least 2% profit
"0": 0.04 # Sell immediately if there is at least 4% profit
},
stoploss
is loss in percentage that should trigger a sale.
For example value -0.10
will cause immediate sell if the
profit dips below -10% for a given trade. This parameter is optional.
initial_state
is an optional field that defines the initial application state.
Possible values are running
or stopped
. (default=running
)
If the value is stopped
the bot has to be started with /start
first.
ask_last_balance
sets the bidding price. Value 0.0
will use ask
price, 1.0
will
use the last
price and values between those interpolate between ask and last
price. Using ask
price will guarantee quick success in bid, but bot will also
end up paying more then would probably have been necessary.
fiat_currency
set the fiat to use for the conversion form coin to
fiat in Telegram. The valid value are: "AUD", "BRL", "CAD", "CHF",
"CLP", "CNY", "CZK", "DKK", "EUR", "GBP", "HKD", "HUF", "IDR", "ILS",
"INR", "JPY", "KRW", "MXN", "MYR", "NOK", "NZD", "PHP", "PKR", "PLN",
"RUB", "SEK", "SGD", "THB", "TRY", "TWD", "ZAR", "USD".
The other values should be self-explanatory, if not feel free to raise a github issue.
Prerequisites
- python3.6
- sqlite
- TA-lib binaries
- Minimal (advised) system requirements: 2GB RAM, 1GB data, 2vCPU
Install
Arch Linux
Use your favorite AUR helper and install python-freqtrade-git
.
Manually
master
branch contains the latest stable release.
develop
branch has often new features, but might also cause breaking changes. To use it, you are encouraged to join our slack channel.
$ cd freqtrade/
# copy example config. Dont forget to insert your api keys
$ cp config.json.example config.json
$ python -m venv .env
$ source .env/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ pip install -e .
$ ./freqtrade/main.py
There is also an article about how to setup the bot (thanks @gurghet).*
* Note: that article was written for an earlier version, so it may be outdated
Docker
Building the image:
$ cd freqtrade
$ docker build -t freqtrade .
For security reasons, your configuration file will not be included in the image, you will need to bind mount it. It is also advised to bind mount a SQLite database file (see second example) to keep it between updates.
You can run a one-off container that is immediately deleted upon exiting with the following command (config.json must be in the current working directory):
$ docker run --rm -v `pwd`/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json -it freqtrade
To run a restartable instance in the background (feel free to place your configuration and database files wherever it feels comfortable on your filesystem):
$ cd ~/.freq
$ touch tradesv3.sqlite
$ docker run -d \
--name freqtrade \
-v ~/.freq/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json \
-v ~/.freq/tradesv3.sqlite:/freqtrade/tradesv3.sqlite \
freqtrade
If you are using dry_run=True
it's not necessary to mount tradesv3.sqlite
.
You can then use the following commands to monitor and manage your container:
$ docker logs freqtrade
$ docker logs -f freqtrade
$ docker restart freqtrade
$ docker stop freqtrade
$ docker start freqtrade
You do not need to rebuild the image for configuration
changes, it will suffice to edit config.json
and restart the container.
systemd service file
Copy ./freqtrade.service
to your systemd user directory (usually ~/.config/systemd/user
)
and update WorkingDirectory
and ExecStart
to match your setup.
After that you can start the daemon with:
$ systemctl --user start freqtrade
Usage
usage: main.py [-h] [-c PATH] [-v] [--version] [--dynamic-whitelist [INT]]
[--dry-run-db]
{backtesting,hyperopt} ...
Simple High Frequency Trading Bot for crypto currencies
positional arguments:
{backtesting,hyperopt}
backtesting backtesting module
hyperopt hyperopt module
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-c PATH, --config PATH
specify configuration file (default: config.json)
-v, --verbose be verbose
--version show program's version number and exit
--dynamic-whitelist [INT]
dynamically generate and update whitelist based on 24h
BaseVolume (Default 20 currencies)
--dry-run-db Force dry run to use a local DB
"tradesv3.dry_run.sqlite" instead of memory DB. Work
only if dry_run is enabled.
Dynamic whitelist example
Per default --dynamic-whitelist
will retrieve the 20 currencies based
on BaseVolume. This value can be changed when you run the script.
By Default
Get the 20 currencies based on BaseVolume.
freqtrade --dynamic-whitelist
Customize the number of currencies to retrieve
Get the 30 currencies based on BaseVolume.
freqtrade --dynamic-whitelist 30
Exception
--dynamic-whitelist
must be greater than 0. If you enter 0 or a
negative value (e.g -2), --dynamic-whitelist
will use the default
value (20).
Backtesting
Backtesting also uses the config specified via -c/--config
.
usage: freqtrade backtesting [-h] [-l] [-i INT] [--realistic-simulation]
[-r]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-l, --live using live data
-i INT, --ticker-interval INT
specify ticker interval in minutes (default: 5)
--realistic-simulation
uses max_open_trades from config to simulate real
world limitations
-r, --refresh-pairs-cached
refresh the pairs files in tests/testdata with
the latest data from Bittrex. Use it if you want
to run your backtesting with up-to-date data.
How to use --refresh-pairs-cached parameter?
The first time your run Backtesting, it will take the pairs your have set in your config file and download data from Bittrex.
If for any reason you want to update your data set, you use
--refresh-pairs-cached
to force Backtesting to update the data it has.
Use it only if you want to update your data set. You will not be able
to come back to the previous version.
To test your strategy with latest data, we recommend to continue using
the parameter -l
or --live
.
Hyperopt
It is possible to use hyperopt for trading strategy optimization.
Hyperopt uses an internal config named OPTIMIZE_CONFIG
located in freqtrade/optimize/hyperopt.py
.
usage: freqtrade hyperopt [-h] [-e INT] [--use-mongodb]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-e INT, --epochs INT specify number of epochs (default: 100)
--use-mongodb parallelize evaluations with mongodb (requires mongod
in PATH)
Execute tests
$ pytest freqtrade
