“To follow the path, look to the master, follow the master, walk with the master, see through the master, become the master.” – Zen Proverb
This German version of Zenbot corresponds to the original English version v4.1.0 of [DeviaVir] (https://github.com/DeviaVir/zenbot).
3GB minimum memory.
On Raspberry Pi ARM 1 core with 1.5 GHz with 100% utilization.
or Raspberry Pi ARM 4 cores with 1.5 GHz each result in a utilization of 25%.
The "ccxt" dependency has been changed and updated in package-lock.json from version "1.33.64" to version "1.40.1". The original dependency is still in the "package-lock-org.json" file and serves as a backup. Other versions of "ccxt" can be found at "https://registry.npmjs.org/ccxt/".
- I am rebuilding and reorganizing the Zenbot documentation. In terms of content, this remains the same and should be clearer. Errors during the installation on Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB are corrected.
- NPM is updated and reduced to the current status of all necessary NPMs.
- A rebuild of all existing Zenbot's will be done and released as a new branch.
- An integration of interesting forks is brought about.
Zenbot 4 is functional, but is having trouble reliably making profit. At this point, I would recommend against trading with large amounts until some of these issues can be worked out:
- Many people are reporting losses in live trading even if the simulation results and/or paper trading is positive.
- This is my highest priority right now, since an unprofitable bot is not worth much, but please understand that reliably making profit is hard, and so is making a realistic simulator.
- The losses may be due to the default strategy not working well in sideways (non-trending) market conditions, slippage during limit order execution, or both. Currently I would recommend against using Zenbot on a market that is non-trending or trending generally downwards.
- The limit-order strategy that Zenbot uses to avoid taker fees, is prone to race conditions and delays. A mode for using market-type orders will probably need to be made, which may make frequent-trade strategies less viable due to fees, but more reliable execution overall.
- An upcoming feature will allow Zenbot to use a limited amount of your balance, which will help with experimenting with live trading, but mitigating the possible losses from the issues above.
Zenbot is a hobby project for me and I'm sorry that I can't devote myself full-time to it. Since I'm getting busier, development may slow down a bit from here, so please be patient if issues aren't fixed right away.
Zenbot is a command-line cryptocurrency trading bot using Node.js and MongoDB. It features:
- Fully-automated technical-analysis-based trading approach
- Full support for Binance, Bitfinex, Bitstamp, Bittrex, CEX.IO, GDAX, Gemini, HitBTC, Kraken, Poloniex, QuadrigaCX and TheRockTrading, work on further exchange support is ongoing.
- Plugin architecture for implementing exchange support, or writing new strategies
- Simulator for backtesting strategies against historical data
- "Paper" trading mode, operates on a simulated balance while watching the live market
- Configurable sell stops, buy stops, and (trailing) profit stops
- Flexible sampling period and trade frequency - averages 1-2 trades/day with 1h period, 15-50/day with 5m period
- Zenbot is NOT a sure-fire profit machine. Use it AT YOUR OWN RISK.
- Crypto-currency is still an experiment, and therefore so is Zenbot. Meaning, both may fail at any time.
- Running a bot, and trading in general requires careful study of the risks and parameters involved. A wrong setting can cause you a major loss.
- Never leave the bot un-monitored for long periods of time. Zenbot doesn't know when to stop, so be prepared to stop it if too much loss occurs.
- Often times the default trade parameters will underperform vs. a buy-hold strategy, so run some simulations and find the optimal parameters for your chosen exchange/pair before going "all-in".
