sessa's Introduction

Synopsis

A cryptocurrency trader bot (only works on BitMex right now).

Installation

requires a redis db.

add redis db details to config.js

npm install the modules in package.json dependencies.

When in production change config.js key 'testnet' to false

Create a keys.js file

Not ideal, but this is how you change strategy and timeframe

Strategy can be changed in the strategy.js file

Time frame can be changed in the main.js file

keys.js

const keys = {};
keys.testnet = {};
keys.testnet.key = '';       // your testnet key
keys.testnet.secret = '';    // your testnet secret
keys.production = {};
keys.production.key = '';   // your production key
keys.production.secret = '';// your production secret
module.exports = keys;

Running

run delta/delta.js to start collecting data

run main.js for trading.

alternatively just run start-sessa (requires forever to be installed)

Backtesting

A backtesting suite is included, just run backtest.js for additional help.

Note on BitMEX Library

This program uses an older modified version of the BitMEX library, since the original BitMEX library handled dropped connections extremely poorly. It has some issues since the original BitMEX library has been updated a few times. Ideally, in a future version we'll include a simple patch you could apply to whatever was the current BitMEX library.
