Exchange Setup
Binance Futures
# config.py usage patternimport osimport jsonconfig = {"exchange": "binance","api_key": os.environ.get("BINANCE_API_KEY"),"api_secret": os.environ.get("BINANCE_API_SECRET"),"testnet": True, # always test first"leverage": 5,"pairs": ["BTCUSDT", "ETHUSDT"]}with open("config.json", "w") as f:json.dump(config, f, indent=2)
Bybit Perpetual
{"exchange": "bybit","api_key": "","api_secret": "","leverage": 5,"pairs": ["BTCUSDT", "ETHUSDT"]}
OKX Perpetual Swap
{"exchange": "okx","api_key": "","api_secret": "","okx_passphrase": "","leverage": 5,"pairs": ["BTC-USDT-SWAP", "ETH-USDT-SWAP"]}
Signal Sources
1. Telegram Channel
# Setup steps:# 1. Create bot at https://t.me/BotFather → get token# 2. Add bot to signal channel as admin# 3. Get channel ID (negative number starting with -100)config_snippet = {"signal_source": "telegram","telegram_bot_token": os.environ.get("TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN"),"telegram_channel_id": "-1001234567890"}
2. TradingView Webhook
{"signal_source": "tradingview","tradingview_webhook_port": 8080}
TradingView alert message format (JSON):
{"symbol": "BTCUSDT","side": "BUY","leverage": 10,"price": "{{close}}","strategy": "ema_crossover"}
Point your TradingView alert webhook URL to:
http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8080/webhook
3. Custom API Signal Source
{"signal_source": "api","custom_api_url": "https://your-signal-provider.com/signals","custom_api_key": ""}
Strategies
EMA Crossover
{"ema_crossover": {"enabled": true,"fast": 9,"slow": 21}}
- LONG: fast EMA crosses above slow EMA
- SHORT: fast EMA crosses below slow EMA
- Best timeframes: 15m, 1h, 4h
RSI Divergence
{"rsi_divergence": {"enabled": true,"period": 14,"overbought": 70,"oversold": 30}}
- Bullish: price lower lows + RSI higher lows → LONG
- Bearish: price higher highs + RSI lower highs → SHORT
Bollinger Band Breakout
{"bollinger_breakout": {"enabled": true,"period": 20,"std_dev": 2.0}}
- LONG: close above upper band
- SHORT: close below lower band
MACD Momentum
{"macd_momentum": {"enabled": true,"fast": 12,"slow": 26,"signal": 9}}
- Trades histogram crossovers with signal line confirmation
- Zero-line acts as trend filter
Running Multiple Strategies
All enabled strategies run per candle. The bot takes the highest-confidence signal and filters conflicts:
{"strategies": {"ema_crossover": {"enabled": true, "fast": 9, "slow": 21},"rsi_divergence": {"enabled": true, "period": 14},"bollinger_breakout": {"enabled": false},"macd_momentum": {"enabled": true}}}
Risk Management
{"leverage": 10,"max_position_pct": 5.0,"trailing_stop_pct": 1.5,"risk_management": {"max_open_positions": 5,"max_daily_loss_pct": 3.0,"stop_loss_pct": 2.0,"take_profit_pct": 4.0}}
| Parameter | Description | |
|---|---|---|
leverage | 1x–125x (start with 2–5x) | |
max_position_pct | % of account balance per trade | |
trailing_stop_pct | Trailing SL activates after price moves this % in profit | |
max_open_positions | Hard cap on concurrent open trades | |
max_daily_loss_pct | Bot halts trading if daily loss exceeds this | |
stop_loss_pct | Fixed stop-loss distance from entry | |
take_profit_pct | Fixed take-profit distance from entry |
Trailing stop-loss behavior: Once position is in profit by trailing_stop_pct, the stop follows the peak price. Position closes automatically on reversal of that distance.
Testnet Mode
Always validate on testnet before live trading:
{"testnet": true,"exchange": "binance"}
Binance testnet: https://testnet.binancefuture.com Bybit testnet: https://testnet.bybit.com

Common Patterns
Load Config Programmatically
import jsonimport osdef load_config(path="config.json"):with open(path) as f:cfg = json.load(f)# Override with env vars if setcfg["api_key"] = os.environ.get("BINANCE_API_KEY", cfg.get("api_key", ""))cfg["api_secret"] = os.environ.get("BINANCE_API_SECRET", cfg.get("api_secret", ""))return cfgconfig = load_config()
Minimal Safe Config for Testing
import jsonsafe_config = {"exchange": "binance","api_key": "", # set via env var BINANCE_API_KEY"api_secret": "", # set via env var BINANCE_API_SECRET"testnet": True,"leverage": 2,"max_position_pct": 1.0,"signal_source": "telegram","telegram_bot_token": "", # set via env var TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN"telegram_channel_id": "","strategies": {"ema_crossover": {"enabled": True, "fast": 9, "slow": 21},"rsi_divergence": {"enabled": False},"bollinger_breakout": {"enabled": False},"macd_momentum": {"enabled": False}},"pairs": ["BTCUSDT"],"risk_management": {"max_open_positions": 1,"max_daily_loss_pct": 1.0,"stop_loss_pct": 1.5,"take_profit_pct": 3.0}}with open("config.json", "w") as f:json.dump(safe_config, f, indent=2)
Verify Installation
# Quick dependency checkrequired = ["rich", "binance", "ccxt", "pandas", "ta", "websockets", "cryptography"]import importlibfor pkg in required:try:importlib.import_module(pkg)print(f"✓ {pkg}")except ImportError:print(f"✗ {pkg} — run: pip install {pkg}")
Troubleshooting
Bot won't connect to exchange
# Check API key permissions — must have:# Binance: Enable Futures, Enable Reading, Enable Spot & Margin Trading# Bybit: Unified Trading, Read/Write# OKX: Trade, Read# Test connectivitypython -c "import ccxt, osexchange = ccxt.binance({'apiKey': os.environ['BINANCE_API_KEY'],'secret': os.environ['BINANCE_API_SECRET'],'options': {'defaultType': 'future'}})print(exchange.fetch_balance())"
Telegram signals not received
- Confirm bot is admin in the channel
- Verify
telegram_channel_idstarts with-100 - Send a test message to the channel after adding the bot
- Check bot token with:
https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/getMe
TradingView webhook not triggering
# Ensure port 8080 is open and accessible# Check firewall rulessudo ufw allow 8080/tcp# Test webhook endpoint locallycurl -X POST http://localhost:8080/webhook \-H "Content-Type: application/json" \-d '{"symbol":"BTCUSDT","side":"BUY","leverage":5}'
Leverage rejected by exchange
- Binance max leverage varies per symbol (BTC: 125x, altcoins: lower)
- Bybit requires setting leverage per symbol before trading
- Start with
"leverage": 5and increase carefully
ImportError on startup
pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt# or individually:pip install rich>=13.0.0 python-binance>=1.0.19 ccxt>=4.2.0 pandas>=2.1.0 ta>=0.10.2 websockets>=12.0 cryptography
Position not closing at stop-loss
- Ensure
stop_loss_pctis set inrisk_management - Trailing stop only activates after initial profit threshold (
trailing_stop_pct) - Check exchange order type support — some altcoin pairs have restrictions
Safety Checklist
- [ ] Always run
"testnet": truefirst - [ ] Start with
"leverage": 2or3 - [ ] Set
max_daily_loss_pct≤ 3.0 - [ ] Keep
max_open_positions≤ 3 initially - [ ] Never commit
config.jsonwith real API keys - [ ] Use environment variables for all secrets
- [ ] Keep API key IP-restricted on exchange side
- [ ] Enable only one strategy initially; add more after validation
