You can control your algorithmic trading script on serve to run or stop trading, sell (short) or buy (long) with Telegram.

If you are interested in Cryptocurrency Quantitative Trading, especially trading BTC on BitMEX and your location is at any “Restricted Jurisdiction” under BitMEX's Terms of Service. I think this project will help you or inspire you at least.

How to use

Depending on the location of server you running your code, there are mainly two ways to use Ritchi.

Location in the forbidden IP countries

The original bitmex_ws package file need to be replaced by the file named bitmex_ws_forbidden in folder replace. The difference betweent these two files is the alternative one replace this line code

self.wst = threading.Thread(target=lambda: self.ws.run_forever())

with

self.wst = threading.Thread(target=lambda :self.ws.run_forever(http_proxy_host="127.0.0.1", http_proxy_port=7890))

the value of http_proxy_port could be different depending on your setting (it should be 7890 for clash on Windows).

Other countries

Remain to be done.
