Sophisticated Scalper Bot for BitMEX using orders imbalance analysis

---

The idea behind this script is to spot micro-extremes (to the upside or the downside) and anticipate the reversal. To achieve that, it uses a modelisation of the market behaviour for the last 3 days (autogenerated) and applies a RSI computation onto the delta between the buyers and the sellers for the last 14 periods (each modification of the orderbook is counted as 1 period). As another filter, we use regular Bollinger Bands applied on an 5-minutes timeframe to avoid being caught in a defavorable jump. It works at the tick level and is best suited for ranging-type price action. Additionally, we recently implemented a machine-learning module on top of all of this to detect the trend we are in...

Warning : The daily model generation can take up to 2 hours. You can speed up the process by activating the force_training setting manually. In this case, the script focuses only on building a model and stops when it's done.

Configuration

Just replace the key and secret fields with yours, adjust the number of contracts traded and the action thresholds (see below) in sydom.py

Run pip install -r requirements.txt

---

Execution

python sydom.py

During the first run, the script will automatically generate a model (if missing) based on the 3 previous days of price action. This model is retrained every day at 6:00 AM UTC. Basically, you don't have anything to do once the bot is launched...

This is what you get at the end of each model generation. It helps to check if the model_thr setting value is optimum. You have to look for a level where the spikes are about to reverse. Generally, 0.05 for ETHUSD is fine... This value is in ABSOLUTE terms !
