.
Define Your Bot’s Purpose
What strategy will the bot follow (trend following, mean reversion, scalping)?
Which market will it operate in (e.g., VIX 100 under market)?
2. Select a Programming Language
Recommended languages: Python (most popular), JavaScript
Libraries for trading bots:
CCXT: For connecting to multiple exchanges
Pandas: For data analysis
TA-Lib: For technical indicators
3. Install the Necessary Libraries
bash
Copy
Edit
pip install ccxt pandas ta-lib
4. Write Basic Bot Functions
Connect to the trading platform: Use APIs provided by the broker (Deriv API or Binance API)
Fetch market data: Get price data for analysis
Implement strategy logic: Example: Buy when RSI < 30, Sell when RSI > 70
Place buy/sell orders: Automate trades based on conditions
5. Simple Example Code for RSI Strategy
python
Copy
Edit
import ccxt
import pandas as pd
import talib
# Set up exchange connection (replace with broker-specific keys)
exchange = ccxt.binance({
'apiKey': 'your_api_key',
'secret': 'your_secret_key',
})
def fetch_data(symbol='BTC/USDT', timeframe='1h', limit=100):
data = exchange.fetch_ohlcv(symbol, timeframe, limit)
df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns=['timestamp', 'open', 'high', 'low', 'close', 'volume'])
return df
def trading_strategy(df):
df['rsi'] = talib.RSI(df['close'], timeperiod=14)
latest_rsi = df['rsi'].iloc[-1]
if latest_rsi < 30:
print("RSI below 30: Buy Signal")
elif latest_rsi > 70:
print("RSI above 70: Sell Signal")
else:
print("No trade signal")
# Run the bot
market_data = fetch_data()
trading_strategy(market_data)
6. Backtest Your Bot
Use historical data to test the bot’s strategy before deploying it live.
7. Deploy the Bot
Use cloud services like AWS, Heroku, or PythonAnywhere for 24/7 operations
Monitor and maintain your bot regularly
