Leveraged grid-trading bot using CCXT/CCXT Pro library in FTX exchange.

Leveraged-grid-trading-bot

The code is designed to perform infinity grid trading strategy in FTX exchange.

The basic trader named Gridtrader.py control the number of grids dynamically using the setting in JSON file.

asyncGridtrader.py will do the same job asynchronously.

Trader with database support, Gridtrader_with_db.py and asyncGridtrader_with_db.py, will store the transaction info in database via mysql.

If the trader termineated accidentally, the next execution of trader will follow the history stored in the database.

It is recommended to execeute the code in Linux system with Python version 3.7+.

The bot will show the following information in log file:

1. Cash flow
2. Realized profit, averaged profit per day (Not including fee)
3. Total volume, averaged volume per day
4. Maker ratio in filled orders
5. Number of filled orders
6. Transaction fee

How leveraged?

Most of the funds is locked in normal grid trading bot, while this bot will only create limit orders near the market price (controlled by parameters in setting file). Under this circumstance, the profit can be much greater for short-term price volatility by increasing the transaction frequency. The funds may not be enough to afford the infinity grid trading under the same parameter settings, so it can be regarded as leveraged trading policy.
