I tried using TradeWave (BitCoin system trading in Python)

What is this

https://tradewave.net

A web service that automates BitCoin system trading.

To put it bluntly, there are many iPhone apps for trading under high & low conditions.

What's unusual about this is that it comes with a Python IDE with a built-in API for trading. Graphs can be calculated, displayed, and bought and sold very easily. Of course, the same thing can be done in a personal environment by using the API, but the threshold is low because there is no such trouble.

** In other words, you can experience system trading with interest! ** **

let's try it

Let's start up

--Create an account for the time being

• [Create a strategy]

• [Python strategy]

--Determine a strategy name (in short, .py file name)

--Arrived!

Let's put out a graph and calculate

-(Reference) Let's open [https://tradewave.net/help/api/]

――It's written for a long time, but it's troublesome, so for the time being, copy [Code structure]> [An example strategy] and put it in the IDE.

python

# A basic Moving Average Crossover strategy

def initialize():
    storage.invested = False

def tick():
    short_term = data.btc_usd.ma(30)
    long_term = data.btc_usd.ma(100)

    if (short_term > long_term) and not storage.invested:
        log('Buying BTC')
        buy(pairs.btc_usd) # market order
        storage.invested = True

    elif (short_term < long_term) and storage.invested:
        log('Selling all BTC')
        sell(pairs.btc_usd)
        storage.invested = False

def stop():
    if storage.invested:
        log('Clearing our position by selling all BTC holdings')
        sell(pairs.btc_usd)

--If you press [Save]> [BackTest] on the right side, it will display the case where the sample was traded in the past BitCoin transaction history.

In the sample, the principal was 10,000 dollars, and it seems that he lost 217 dollars in one day.

It's a sample, it can't be helped ...

A little more about the API

In the sample, we only look at the normal BTC / USD exchange rate, but if you want to have only an API for system trading, you can do various things.

--MA (Simple Moving Average) and EMA (Exponential Smoothing Moving Average)

def tick():
    x = data.btc_usd.ma(30)
    y = data.btc_usd.ema(30)
    plot('MA', x)
    plot('EMA', y)

• RSI（Relative　Strength　index）

def tick():
    x = data.btc_usd.rsi(30)
    plot('RSI', x, secondary=True)

――In addition, you can use candle data and various calculations in just a few lines without thinking.

• VWAP
• MACD
• AROON
• SAR
• StochRSI
• STOCH
• MFI
• ADX
• ATR
• MOM
• TSF
• STD (Standard Deviation)
• Such

The difficulty is ...

--Calculation is a little slow ――It's not so easy to use as an IED ――If you want to write something properly, write it in Sublime text and copy it. ――A usage fee is required to actually trade with the system built here.

after all

It's free to use, so it's easy to get to, and even I, a Python beginner, can understand it without worrying about it, so I recommend it to people who have ideas but are blocked by technical barriers around the API!

If you think it's interesting to try this, you can put in the API yourself and set up a server.
