Trading bot - Dbot

PHP trading bot framework

Requirements

Dbot requires PHP version 7.2.5 or greater, mysql server also required for data storage. This project includes automatic trading with basic strategies. All testing and coding was done on Mac OSX so this will work on other linux system but I will never bother to do this for Windows. For Windows users you are on your own.

Befor you start

This project needs php extension trader. Create one folder and in that folder you can install it by the following commands. Before you run the migration and seeder setup your .env file.

Set up commands

1. git clone https://github.com/deakzsolt/dbot.git
2. composer update
3. php artisan migrate
4. php artisan db:seed
5. echo "* * * * * `which php` `pwd`/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1" | /usr/bin/crontab

Install php extension trader

First check is the trader extension set in the php by running:

php -m

If you see trader in the list then you are good to go.

To install a php extension trader run the following command

sudo pecl install trader

Check the end of the installation and if it states that the extension must be added to php.ini then do so. In my case I did have to add the extension=trader.so to php.ini. When this is done open a new terminal window and test there with "php -m" command is the extension there.

Usage

Import data

Now when all is set we need data in order to start the trading bot. The import:history command expect's 2 parameters, pair and exchange. The exchange parameter is set as default poloniex while the pair can be multiple trading pairs. For example here is one command:

php artisan import:history USDT_BTC,USDT_ETH,USDT_REP,USDT_LTC,USDT_EOS,USDT_ETC,USDT_ZEC,USDT_ZRX

Check on the exchange from where the pairs are imported what are the predefined symbols for the API.

Test indicators

Now we have at least 7 days data and we can go trough and check the indicators. This is good to see is all working and no error and also to gain a better understanding on signals. Run the following command in order to get a view in command line.

php artisan test:indicators

This project is still under development and it is not 100% functional!

Trading bot - TODO

1. high and low are for 24h so it can't be used in calculations - done
2. Check TimeWarp import option into the database - done
3. Create own Parabolic SAR indicator - wont do
4. Test php precision for better calculation (especially for EMA) - done tested on SAR (add in php.ini trader.real_precision = 9)
5. Add other calculations for currency and crypto
6. Set accountBalance checker (this should include to check is order executed)
7. add in fee calculator
8. Connect with BUY/SELL api (think good idea for maker trade not taker)
9. Create exchange update command
10. Check should the timeframe be under 5 minutes? as the dataImporter date warp in 5 minute.
