Usage

$ python main.py --help
usage: main.py [-h] --symbol SYMBOL --size SIZE --type TYPE
               [--interval INTERVAL]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  --symbol SYMBOL      Market Symbol (Ex: NEO/BTC - NEO/USDT)
  --size SIZE          How many satoshis (or USD) the stop loss should be
                       placed above or below current price
  --type TYPE          Specify whether the trailing stop loss should be in
                       buying or selling mode. (Ex: 'buy' or 'sell')
  --interval INTERVAL  How often the bot should check for price changes

Important note

If you are running in sell mode, it is assumed that you have already purchased the coins. If you are running in buy mode, it will use the total available balance in the base (USDT, BTC, etc). I will likely add an option later to specify investment ratio.

About the bot

Buy mode

If the buy option is set, the bot will initially place a stop-loss size satoshis (or USD) above the current market price. As the price goes lower, the stop-loss will get dragged with it, staying no higher than the size specified. Once the price crosses the stop-loss price, a buy order is executed.

Sell mode

If the sell option is set, the bot will initially place a stop-loss size satoshis (or USD) below the current market price. As the price goes higher, the stop-loss will get dragged with it, staying no lower than the size specified. Once the price crosses the stop-loss price, a sell order is executed.

Size

This is the amount in satoshis (or USD) you would like the stop-loss to be retained at. The difference between the current price and stop-loss will never be larger than this amount.

2 features: Size in percentage and limit Price

Hello,

Thank you for your wonderful share !

I had 2 features request or perhaps it's always available in your app ?

1/ Is there a way to set the size in % ? We'll be abble to have for example trailing stop with 1%.

2/ Fix the limit price where the initial SL begin ? (I understood that your application take the current market price ?)

Thank you very much.

An exception has occurred

Hello

I am really new at using python
I added my keys to config.py file
I use "Spyder" to run the script main.py
I enter there needed argumets
and when I run main.py I get error:

usage: main.py [-h] KEY/USDT 0.000550 sell 5
main.py: error: the following arguments are required: KEY/USDT, 0.000550, sell, 5
An exception has occurred, use %tb to see the full traceback.

SystemExit: 2

Should I use somthing else instead of "Spyder"? Or what could it be that I do wrong to get it to work?

Thanx for comment.

getting this error !

Didn't work for BTC/USD on stop loss: got InsufficientFunds

First off - thanks for writing this script - it was a good foundational script to learn off of.

I had an amount that was like 12.34567890 (not an actual amount, just showing that there's decimal 8 digits total).

When the stop loss triggered, I was presented with the InsufficientFunds error. I did a printout of the amount in the script, and it was the same as my actual balance. Unsure why the API call would not go through.

I did try it on XRP/USDT, and that worked (maybe because it's only 1 decimal digit).
