python-binance VS fast-trade

I've been using the Binance websocket and the python-binance wrapper to access it. I tested streaming the price of BTCUSDT from the aggTrade stream using this simple python code.

For connecting python to the binance platform, i recommend Python for binance ( https://python-binance.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ ) because this library can handle futures contract if I remember correctly. I never traded Futures myself, but I use this library for my algos, and it's work pretty well. If you use technical analysis, you can use "pandas-ta" to calculate the usual indicators. You will need to learn a bit about pandas library, but it is worth the effort.

Binance using the python api library at https://python-binance.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

I'm sure there already is open source API that you just put in your api key and call functions to send orders. Took me 2 seconds to find this https://github.com/sammchardy/python-binance.

here you go

I'm also going to shamelessly plug fast-trade, which is a backtesting library where you write strategies as objects instead of actual code. It's also built on a couple of pretty wonderful libraries including pandas and FinTa, which has a lot of indicators and it's really simple to use.

Hey OP, I do something similar for a project I'm working on here: https://github.com/jrmeier/fast-trade/blob/b09500c8454ea748b3f0d7ff960eb2bea79ad7a8/fast_trade/run_backtest.py#L103 and https://github.com/jrmeier/fast-trade/blob/b09500c8454ea748b3f0d7ff960eb2bea79ad7a8/fast_trade/run_backtest.py#L126

I wrote fast-trade to answer exactly questions like this

For ohlcv data,I wrote fast-trade with a data downloader. Basically it pulls 1 minute Kline data from Binance. It’s pretty easy to keep up to date. It works well for managing a local cache for backtesting.

Hey! Yup, here you go: https://fasttrade.dev. Here's the script I use to do it: https://github.com/jrmeier/fast-trade/blob/master/fast_trade/update_symbol_data.py. I also have a discord with some people that are also doing trading stuff (I’m also building a platform around this stuff). Let me know if you would like an invite!

I’m working on something that attempts to do what you describe make it easy to signup and implemented a pre-made algo. It’s based on the library I wrote fast-trade. I’m a few weeks away from opening up a beta, but feel free to DM me if you want to check it out.

You can start with fast-trade if you’d like. It’s a pretty simple backtesting engine but you can modify it however you’d like. Full disclosure I made it but I was trying to figure out how to get started as well and this is what I ended up with. Good luck!

I wrote fast-trade to do exactly that. Funny enough I wrote it for Binance but it works with any Kline data.

I wrote fast-trade, you can use it from the command line or a script. Strategies are in JSON, so it’s easy to iterate.
