BTFDBot

Bitcoin is in bull run since the summer of 2015, let's automate the "buy the dip" process!

As we see in the BTCUSD chart when bitcoin have a correction it lose about 30% in a handful of days. Why don't buy & hold in these occasions?

Getting started

For the moment it works just for kraken but the support for bitstamp will be implemented soon.

Prerequisites

The bot requires just a module: krakenex
Krakenex installation guide here
Python3 is required.

Running

Change the settings in the config.ini as you prefer and past your private and secret keys into the kraken.key file. Remember: don't allow withdrawal permission while you create the key.
Now you can run:

python3 btfdbot.py

Notifications

To have telegram notifications you need to get a bot id from the BotFather. Once you have a bot id you need to get your Chat ID or create a channel and invite the bot so it can chat there. Once you have all this in place you configure it in config.ini.

  • botId : Check BotFather.
  • chatId : A simple tool to get it is here.
