A Telegram bot for remotely managing Edendg23's Binance Trade Bot and its forks (Idkravitz's, Tntwist's, MasaiasuOse's being the major forks).
This program aims to be an easy way of managing Binance Trade Bot so that I wouldn't have to constantly ssh into my VPS, and my non-techy friends could enjoy the benefits of automated trading.
This program supports only Linux and WSL. Other distributions (BSD, MacOS, Windows, ...) are unmainted and support is not currently planned and is supposed to run 24/7. If you can't have a long running computer on linux, you can use a free VPS, such as Oracle Cloud's.
Python 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9 is required.
Create a dedicated directory for the binance trade bot and the present manager. In this tutorial, we will be using as an example the folder ~/trading-bot
:
cd ~
mkdir trading-bot
Choose the fork you want to use. The main one (Edendg23's) is fine to go with.
Place youself in the previously created directory, e.g.:
cd ~/trading-bot
Then follow the install instruction given on the binance-trade-bot's readme. Setup telegram bot during the install of binance-trade-bot (see the section Notifications with Apprise
in the README)
Once the binance-trade-bot has been installed, make sure everything is properly installed : the following commands should yeild no errors.
cd ~/trading-bot
ls binance-trade-bot/binance_trade_bot/__main__.py
ls binance-trade-bot/config/apprise.yml
As always, place youself in the install directory, e.g.:
cd ~/trading-bot
Then, run the following lines:
git clone https://github.com/lorcalhost/BTB-manager-telegram.git
cd BTB-manager-telegram
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
For an automated install, please refer to Enriko82's Install Script
This method is discouraged as it is no longer maintained. If you crave to contain the bot and its manager, you can always use python's virtual environments. However, you can still find a docker setup guide here.
As the telegram bot is launching itself the Binance Trade Bot, you only have to start the BTB Manager Telegram like so:
python3 -m btb_manager_telegram
If the bot is running on a server you may want to keep it running even after ssh connection is closed by using nohup. Note the trailing "&" :
nohup python3 -m btb_manager_telegram &
However, you can run the bot with options :
# Autostart the Binance Trade Bot when the BTB Manager starts
# (Otherwise you will have to manually start the Binance Trade Bot from telegram)
python3 -m btb_manager_telegram -s
# Use the french translation. Available translation : en, ru, fr, de, nl, es, id, cn, pt
python3 -m btb_manager_telegram -l fr
# Make possible to plot the bot's performance in EUR instead of USD
python3 -m btb_manager_telegram -u EUR
# If using other currencies than USD or EUR, for example GBP, you will have to provide
# an openexchangerates API key, see the flag --oer_key.
# Get you key here : https://openexchangerates.org/signup/free
python3 -m btb_manager_telegram -u GBP -o OPENEXCHANGERATES_KEY
# Of course you can combine all of this!
python3 -m btb_manager_telegram -s -l fr -u EUR
# Using nohup with options
nohup python3 -m btb_manager_telegram -s -l fr -u EUR &
# See all available options
python3 -m btb_manager_telegram --help
If the trade bot has been launched with the telegram bot, stopping the telegram bot will stop the trade bot.
-
If the telegram bot has been launched without
nohup
, closing the terminal or pressingCTRL + C
will stop the bot. -
If the telegram bot has been launched with
nohup
, the bot can be stopped with the commandkill $(cat btbmt.pid)
(no animal will be hurt in this operation). If this command respond the filebtbmt.pid
, it his very likely the telegram bot is no longer running.
First of, stop the telegram bot.
git pull
python3 -m pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt
You can now reboot the telegram bot.
This bot supports custom scripts in a plugin manner. An extensive documentation on customs scripts is available here.
Make sure that Binance Trade Bot's config/apprise.yml
file is correctly setup before running, the telegram manager retreives this file to connect the bot.
If Binance Trade Bot and BTB-Manager-Telegram were not installed in the same parent directory or if apprise.yml
is not setup or you want to use different token
and chat_id
from the ones in the apprise.yml
file, you can set these two keys with the options --token
and --chat_id
If the Binance Trade Bot has its own python environment, that is not shared with the telegram manager, you have to specify the path of the python binary used by the trade bot with the option --python_path
. For example, if you created a virtualenv specific to the binance trade bot in the folder /home/user/trading_bot/binance-trade-bot/venv
, you have to run the telegram bot like so:
python3 -m btb_manager_telegram --python_path /home/user/trading_bot/binance-trade-bot/venv/bin/python
If you would like to run several Binance Trade Bot instances at the same time click here.
This program is fully compatible with Linux and Windows through WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).
Severa known problems are present on native Windows and will not be asserted.
MacOS compatibility is unknown, but supposed to be good ad this system is close to Linux.
