from coinbase_advanced_trader.config import set_api_credentials

# Set your API key and secret
API_KEY = "ABCD1234"
API_SECRET = "XYZ9876"

# Set the API credentials once, and it updates the CBAuth singleton instance
set_api_credentials(API_KEY, API_SECRET)

Usage of Strategies

Here's an example of how to use the strategies package to buy $20 worth of Bitcoin:

from coinbase_advanced_trader.strategies.limit_order_strategies import fiat_limit_buy

# Define the trading parameters
product_id = "BTC-USD"  # Replace with your desired trading pair
usd_size = 20  # Replace with your desired USD amount to spend``

# Perform a limit buy
limit_buy_order = fiat_limit_buy(product_id, usd_size)

Usage of Fear and Greed Index

from coinbase_advanced_trader.strategies.fear_and_greed_strategies import trade_based_on_fgi_simple

# Define the product id
product_id = "BTC-USD"

# Implement the strategy
trade_based_on_fgi_simple(product_id, 10)

Usage of Fear and Greed Index (Pro)

from coinbase_advanced_trader.strategies.fear_and_greed_strategies import trade_based_on_fgi_pro

# Define the product id
product_id = "BTC-USD"

# Define the custom schedule
custom_schedule = [
    {"threshold": 20, "factor": 1, "action": "buy"},
    {"threshold": 80, "factor": 0.5, "action": "buy"},
    {"threshold": 100, "factor": 1, "action": "sell"},
]

# Implement the strategy
response = trade_based_on_fgi_pro(product_id, 10, custom_schedule)
