This project implements an automated trading bot using the Binance API. It analyzes moving averages to identify buying and selling opportunities for assets, operating continuously.
The bot performs the following steps:
-
Data Retrieval:
- Uses the Binance API's
get_klinesfunction to fetch the price history (candlesticks) of a specified asset. - Converts the data into a pandas DataFrame for easier indicator calculations.
- Uses the Binance API's
-
Strategy:
- Calculates two moving averages: a short-term one (7 periods) and a long-term one (40 periods).
- Compares the moving averages:
- If the short-term average exceeds the long-term average, the bot buys the asset.
- If the short-term average falls below the long-term average, the bot sells the asset.
-
Order Execution:
- Operates through market orders, buying or selling the specified amount.
-
Continuous Loop:
- Repeats the above steps every hour, ensuring real-time operations.
To run this project, you need the following environment:
- Operating System: Windows, macOS, or Linux
- Python: Version 3.8 or higher
- Required Libraries:
pandaspython-binancepython-dotenv
Make sure to install the dependencies using the command:
pip install -r requirements.txtImportant: Never expose your API private keys in public repositories, such as GitHub. Use .env files to securely store your credentials. This project uses the python-dotenv library to load keys directly from the .env file. Example configuration:
.env:
KEY_BINANCE=YourAPIKey
SECRET_BINANCE=YourSecretKey
