bbgo

A trading bot framework written in Go. The name bbgo comes from the BB8 bot in the Star Wars movie. aka Buy BitCoin Go!

Current Status

Features

Exchange abstraction interface
Stream integration (user data websocket)
PnL calculation
Slack notification
KLine-based backtest
Built-in strategies
Multi-session support
Standard indicators (SMA, EMA, BOLL)

Supported Exchanges

MAX Exchange (located in Taiwan)
Binance Exchange
FTX (working in progress)

Requirements

Get your exchange API key and secret after you register the accounts (you can choose one or more exchanges):

For MAX: https://max.maicoin.com/signup?r=c7982718
For Binance: https://www.binancezh.com/en/register?ref=VGDGLT80
For FTX: https://ftx.com/#a=7710474

Since the exchange implementation and support are done by a small team, if you like the work they've done for you, It would be great if you can use their referral code as your support to them. :-D

Installation

Install from binary

The following script will help you set up a config file, dotenv file:

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/c9s/bbgo/main/scripts/setup-grid.sh)

Install and Run from the One-click Linode StackScript:

BBGO USDT/TWD Market Grid Trading https://cloud.linode.com/stackscripts/793380
BBGO Standard Grid Trading https://cloud.linode.com/stackscripts/795788

Install from source

Install the bbgo command:

go get -u github.com/c9s/bbgo/cmd/bbgo

Add your dotenv file:

# if you have one
BINANCE_API_KEY=
BINANCE_API_SECRET=

# if you have one
MAX_API_KEY=
MAX_API_SECRET=

# if you have one
FTX_API_KEY=
FTX_API_SECRET=
# specify it if credentials are for subaccount
FTX_SUBACCOUNT=

Prepare your dotenv file .env.local and BBGO yaml config file bbgo.yaml.

The minimal bbgo.yaml could be generated by:

curl -o bbgo.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/c9s/bbgo/main/config/minimal.yaml

To sync your own trade data:

bbgo sync --session max
bbgo sync --session binance

If you want to switch to other dotenv file, you can add an --dotenv option or --config:

bbgo sync --dotenv .env.dev --config config/grid.yaml --session binance

To sync remote exchange klines data for backtesting:

bbgo backtest --exchange binance -v --sync --sync-only --sync-from 2020-01-01

To run backtest:

bbgo backtest --exchange binance --base-asset-baseline

To query transfer history:

bbgo transfer-history --session max --asset USDT --since "2019-01-01"

To calculate pnl:

bbgo pnl --exchange binance --asset BTC --since "2019-01-01"

To run strategy:

bbgo run

Advanced Setup

Setting up Telegram Bot Notification

Open your Telegram app, and chat with @botFather

Enter /newbot to create a new bot

Enter the bot display name. ex. your_bbgo_bot

Enter the bot username. This should be global unique. e.g., bbgo_bot_711222333

Botfather will response your a bot token. Keep bot token safe

Set TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN in the .env.local file, e.g.,

TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=347374838:ABFTjfiweajfiawoejfiaojfeijoaef

For the telegram chat authentication (your bot needs to verify it's you), if you only need a fixed authentication token, you can set TELEGRAM_AUTH_TOKEN in the .env.local file, e.g.,

TELEGRAM_BOT_AUTH_TOKEN=itsme55667788

Run your bbgo,

Open your Telegram app, search your bot bbgo_bot_711222333

Enter /start and /auth {code}

Done! your notifications will be routed to the telegram chat.

Setting up Slack Notification

Put your slack bot token in the .env.local file:

SLACK_TOKEN=xxoox

Synchronizing Trading Data

By default, BBGO does not sync your trading data from the exchange sessions, so it's hard to calculate your profit and loss correctly.

By synchronizing trades and orders to the local database, you can earn some benefits like PnL calculations, backtesting and asset calculation.

Configure MySQL Database

To use MySQL database for data syncing, first you need to install your mysql server:

# For Ubuntu Linux
sudo apt-get install -y mysql-server

Or run it in docker

Create your mysql database:

mysql -uroot -e "CREATE DATABASE bbgo CHARSET utf8"

Then put these environment variables in your .env.local file:

DB_DRIVER=mysql
DB_DSN=root@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/bbgo

Configure Sqlite3 Database

Just put these environment variables in your .env.local file:

DB_DRIVER=sqlite3
DB_DSN=bbgo.sqlite3

Built-in Strategies

Check out the strategy directory strategy for all built-in strategies:

pricealert strategy demonstrates how to use the notification system pricealert
xpuremaker strategy demonstrates how to maintain the orderbook and submit maker orders xpuremaker
buyandhold strategy demonstrates how to subscribe kline events and submit market order buyandhold
bollgrid strategy implements a basic grid strategy with the built-in bollinger indicator bollgrid
grid strategy implements the fixed price band grid strategy grid
flashcrash strategy implements a strategy that catches the flashcrash flashcrash

To run these built-in strategies, just modify the config file to make the configuration suitable for you, for example if you want to run buyandhold strategy:

vim config/buyandhold.yaml

# run bbgo with the config
bbgo run --config config/buyandhold.yaml

Adding New Built-in Strategy

Fork and clone this repository, Create a directory under pkg/strategy/newstrategy, write your strategy at pkg/strategy/newstrategy/strategy.go.

Define a strategy struct:

package newstrategy

import (
	"github.com/c9s/bbgo/pkg/fixedpoint"
)

type Strategy struct {
	Symbol string           `json:"symbol"`
	Param1 int              `json:"param1"`
	Param2 int              `json:"param2"`
	Param3 fixedpoint.Value `json:"param3"`
}

Register your strategy:

package newstrategy

const ID = "newstrategy"

const stateKey = "state-v1"

var log = logrus.WithField("strategy", ID)

func init() {
    bbgo.RegisterStrategy(ID, &Strategy{})
}

Implement the strategy methods:

package newstrategy

func (s *Strategy) Subscribe(session *bbgo.ExchangeSession) {
    session.Subscribe(types.KLineChannel, s.Symbol, types.SubscribeOptions{Interval: "2m"})
}

func (s *Strategy) Run(ctx context.Context, orderExecutor bbgo.OrderExecutor, session *bbgo.ExchangeSession) error {
    // ....
    return nil
}

Edit pkg/cmd/builtin.go, and import the package, like this:

package cmd

// import built-in strategies
import (
	_ "github.com/c9s/bbgo/pkg/strategy/bollgrid"
	_ "github.com/c9s/bbgo/pkg/strategy/buyandhold"
	_ "github.com/c9s/bbgo/pkg/strategy/flashcrash"
	_ "github.com/c9s/bbgo/pkg/strategy/grid"
	_ "github.com/c9s/bbgo/pkg/strategy/mirrormaker"
	_ "github.com/c9s/bbgo/pkg/strategy/pricealert"
	_ "github.com/c9s/bbgo/pkg/strategy/support"
	_ "github.com/c9s/bbgo/pkg/strategy/swing"
	_ "github.com/c9s/bbgo/pkg/strategy/trailingstop"
	_ "github.com/c9s/bbgo/pkg/strategy/xmaker"
	_ "github.com/c9s/bbgo/pkg/strategy/xpuremaker"
)

Write your own strategy

Create your go package, and initialize the repository with go mod and add bbgo as a dependency:

go mod init
go get github.com/c9s/bbgo@main

Write your own strategy in the strategy file:

vim strategy.go

You can grab the skeleton strategy from https://github.com/c9s/bbgo/blob/main/pkg/strategy/skeleton/strategy.go

Now add your config:

mkdir config
(cd config && curl -o bbgo.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/c9s/bbgo/main/config/minimal.yaml)

Add your strategy package path to the config file config/bbgo.yaml

---
build:
  dir: build
  imports:
  - github.com/your_id/your_swing
  targets:
  - name: swing-amd64-linux
    os: linux
    arch: amd64
  - name: swing-amd64-darwin
    os: darwin
    arch: amd64

Run bbgo run command, bbgo will compile a wrapper binary that imports your strategy:

dotenv -f .env.local -- bbgo run --config config/bbgo.yaml

Or you can build your own wrapper binary via:

bbgo build --config config/bbgo.yaml

Dynamic Injection

In order to minimize the strategy code, bbgo supports dynamic dependency injection.

Before executing your strategy, bbgo injects the components into your strategy object if it found the embedded field that is using bbgo component. for example:

type Strategy struct {
*bbgo.Notifiability
}

And then, in your code, you can call the methods of Notifiability.

Supported components (single exchange strategy only for now):

*bbgo.Notifiability
bbgo.OrderExecutor

If you have Symbol string field in your strategy, your strategy will be detected as a symbol-based strategy, then the following types could be injected automatically:

*bbgo.ExchangeSession
types.Market

Strategy Execution Phases

Load config from the config file.
Allocate and initialize exchange sessions.
Add exchange sessions to the environment (the data layer).
Use the given environment to initialize the trader object (the logic layer).
The trader initializes the environment and start the exchange connections.
Call strategy.Run() method sequentially.

Exchange API Examples

Please check out the example directory: examples

Initialize MAX API:

key := os.Getenv("MAX_API_KEY")
secret := os.Getenv("MAX_API_SECRET")

maxRest := maxapi.NewRestClient(maxapi.ProductionAPIURL)
maxRest.Auth(key, secret)

Creating user data stream to get the orderbook (depth):

stream := max.NewStream(key, secret)
stream.Subscribe(types.BookChannel, symbol, types.SubscribeOptions{})

streambook := types.NewStreamBook(symbol)
streambook.BindStream(stream)

How To Add A New Exchange

(TBD)

Helm Chart

If you need redis:

helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
helm install redis bitnami/redis

Prepare your docker image locally (you can also use the docker image from docker hub):

make docker DOCKER_TAG=1.16.0

The docker tag version number is from the file Chart.yaml

Prepare your secret:

kubectl create secret generic bbgo-grid --from-env-file .env.local

Configure your config file, the chart defaults to read config/bbgo.yaml to create a configmap:

cp config/grid.yaml bbgo-grid.yaml
vim bbgo-grid.yaml

Prepare your configmap:

kubectl create configmap bbgo-grid --from-file=bbgo-grid.yaml

Install chart with the preferred release name, the release name maps to the previous secret we just created, that is, bbgo-grid:

helm install --set existingConfigmap=bbgo-grid bbgo-grid ./charts/bbgo

To use the latest version:

helm install --set existingConfigmap=bbgo-grid --set image.tag=latest bbgo-grid ./charts/bbgo

Delete chart:

helm delete bbgo
