Re: Anyone use backtrader to do live trading on Bitcoin exchange?

First, thanks a lot @Ed-Bartosh and backtraders fellows!

My strategy need to send a signal before a candle (1 minute) being closed. I forked the @Ed-Bartosh (branch ccxt) and I'm feeding with bitmex exchange makert (using ccxt).

I'm new backtrader I noticed that the minimum GRANULARITY is to fetch on OHLC are minutes. But supposing the I need to get live data before the 1m candle being closed to send a signal. Is possible?

I need the historical (15 M) data too. So i will need to feeds: historical and live. So someone can help me? Or share some insight about that?

Hi @ed-bartosh!

I tried to run on bitmex exchange live:

data = bt.feeds.CCXT(exchange='bitmex', symbol='BTC/USD', timeframe=bt.TimeFrame.Ticks, compression=1)

When I tried to run live using Bitmex exchange I got some errors:

I open a issue (#20) and fixed on my repo fork.

Cloud you accept a pull request? My user is @dedeco on github. If not, the fix is on issue description.

Thanks!!

Hello Andre! How are you?

I interested to use backtrader at live operating on bovespa market. Did you know some broker that I can to that?

I did at live using bitmex (bitcoin) and works very well. See here an example: https://github.com/dedeco/backtrader-poc.git

Just run: python run_backtrader_ccxt.py (upde config with your key id api).

So I intend to do the same in bovespa...

@backtrader Thanks!

I will let know when I finished!

I am creating a new feed to Bitmex similar as the Yahoo Api (that is not working anymore).

Here is the docs: https://www.bitmex.com/app/restAPI.

What's guidelines I can adopt to contribute?
