K.sh is a very low latency market making trading bot with a full featured web interface, it directly connects to several cryptocoin exchanges. On a decent machine reacts to market data by placing and canceling orders in under milliseconds.
Latest version at https://github.com/ctubio/Krypto-trading-bot 
Runs on unix-like systems. Persistence is achieved using a built-in server-less SQLite C++ interface. Installation via Docker is supported, but manual installation in a dedicated Debian (or Raspbian) or CentOS instance is recommended.
The web UI is compatible with most web browsers/devices/resolutions, but Firefox or Chrome at 1600px are recommended. Doesn't require configuration of any web server (unless installed behind your own reverse proxy).

See dist/Dockerfile section if you use winy (because the Manual Installation only works on unix-like platforms).
-
Ensure your target machine has installed
git,vim,makeand node v8 (seenode -vornodejs -v). -
Run in any location that you wish (feel free to customize the suggested folder name K):
$ git clone ssh://[email protected]/ctubio/Krypto-trading-bot K
$ cd K
$ cp etc/K.json.dist etc/K.json
$ vim etc/K.json
$ make start
See configuration section while setting up the configuration options in your new config file etc/K.json.
make start will run K.sh in the background using forever. But also it will auto run make install to install all local dependencies in build folder and compile the application in app folder if it was not already done before.
Feel free to run make stop or make restart anytime, and don't forget to read the fucking manual.
Troubleshooting:
-
Create a temporary swap file (after install you can swapoff) if the installation fails with error:
virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory. -
If there is no wallet data on a given exchange, do a manual buy/sell order first using the website of the exchange.
Optional:
-
See
./K.sh --help. -
Replace the certificate at
dist/sslcertfolder with your own, see web ui section. But, the certificate provided is a fully featured default openssl, that you may just need to authorise in your browser.
See etc folder.
Feel free anytime to check if there are new modifications with make diff.
Once you decide that is time to upgrade, execute make latest to download and install the latest modifications in your remote branch (or directly make reinstall to skip the display of the new commit messages).
After install the latest version, all running instances will be restarted.
Please note, an "instance" is in fact a config file under etc folder; using a single machine and the same source folder, you can run as many instances as config files you have in etc folder (limited by the available free RAM).
You can list the current instances running anytime with make list.
Simple commands like make start, make stop or make restart (without any config file defined) will use the default config file etc/K.json or etc/K.png.
To run multiple instances using a collection of config files:
-
Create a new config file with
cp etc/K.json etc/X.json(with any name but.jsonextension).-
Edit the value of
WebClientListenPortin the new config file to set a new port, so all applications have a unique port to display the UI. -
Edit the values of
BotIdentifier,EXCHANGEandTradedPairin the new config file as you alternatively desire.
-
-
Run the new instance with
KCONFIG=X make start, also the commandsmake stopandmake restartallow the environment variableKCONFIG, the value is simply the filename of the config file underetcfolder that you want to run (without extension because could be a PNG also); this value will also be used as theuidof the process executed byforever. -
Open in the web browser the different pages of the ports of the different running instances, or display the UI of all instances together in a single page using the MATRYOSHKA link in the footer and the config option
MatryoshkaUrl.
After multiple config files are setup under etc folder, to control them all together instead of one by one, the commands make startall, make stopall and make restartall are also available, just remember that config files with a filename starting with underscore symbol "_" will be skipped.
If you dont like to have your etc/*.json files in plain text, you can encrypt them behind any PNG image:
-
Download any PNG file that you like and place it at
etc/folder. -
Rename the
*.pngfilename to match the*.jsonfilename (for example if you have aetc/K.jsonfile you can rename your png file toetc/K.png). -
Once you have your json file all configured and your png file renamed equal than the json file (lets say the files are named
K):
$ PNG=K make png
Feel free to change the suggested filename K. Also you can run make png as many times as you update your original json file, always with PNG environment variable matching the filename of both json and png files.
-
Delete the now useless
.jsonfile and restart the application. -
Keep your
.pngfile in a secure location always, never share it. Even if your api keys and api secrets are now binary encrypted, they can still be easily readable with tools likeidentify -verbose etc/K.png.
-
Open your web browser to connect to HTTPS port
3000(or value ofWebClientListenPort) of the machine running K. If you're running K locally on Mac/Windows on Docker, replace "localhost" with the address returned byboot2docker ip. -
Read up on how to use K and market making in the manual.
-
Set up trading parameters to your liking in the web UI. Click the "BTC/USD" button so it is green to start making markets.
Once K is up and running, visit HTTPS port 3000 (or value of WebClientListenPort) of the machine on which it is running to view the admin view. There are inputs for quoting parameters, grids to display market orders, market trades, your trades, your order history, your positions, and a big button with the currency pair you are trading. When you're ready, click that button green to begin sending out quotes. The UI uses a healthy mixture of socket.io and angularjs observed with reactivexjs.
If you want to generate your own certificate see SSL for internal usage.
In case you really want to use plain HTTP, remove the files server.crt and server.key inside dist/sslcert folder.
Each currency pair of each exchange will use a different sqlite database file.
All database files are located at /data/db/K.*.db, where * is the identifier with format exchange.base_currency.quote_currency; it is located outside the application path to survive reinstalls and wild rm -rf path/to/K.
You can copy any .db file to another machine when migrating or as a backup.
If a database file do not exists, the application will create it on boot; otherwise, it will load it and reuse it.
To see the data of each database file you can use https://github.com/sqlitebrowser/sqlitebrowser or similars.
To set a different database path or to set an in-memory database, use --database=PATH argument (see --help).
The metrics are not saved anywhere, is just UI data collected with a visibility retention of 6 hours, to display over time:
- Market Fair Value with High and Low Prices
- Trades Complete
- Target Position for BTC currency (TBP)
- Target Position for Fiat currency
- STDEV and EWMA values for Quote Protection and APR
- Amount available in wallet for buy
- Amount held in open trades for buy
- Amount available in wallet for sell
- Amount held in open trades for sell
- Total amount available and held at both sides in BTC currency
- Total amount available and held at both sides in Fiat currency
If you ask me,

see the upstream project michaelgrosner/tribeca.
The bot has all features unlocked, but to support further development by ctubio, the plan soOn is to lock some features.
To unlock all features currently nothing has to be done, but maybe, soOn, a payment of 0.12100000 BTC will be required.
In case you are looking to extend the trial period, please generate a new API Key in your exchange (each API key have its own trial period). Otherwise if you choose to not support further development by ctubio, just keep running some old commit and do not upgrade.
The current payment is to support further development by ctubio to fix all bugs on the market you are paying against (an alternative Votes system).
To provide exclusivity to proefficient traders and to keep teenagers away, once the bot is bug-free, the payment required may be increased by a minimum of x3.
nope, this project doesn't have maintenance costs. but you can donate to your favorite developer today! (or tomorrow!)
or see the upstream project michaelgrosner/tribeca.
or donate your time with programming or financial suggestions in the topical IRC channel ##tradingBot at irc.domirc.net on port 6697 (SSL), or 6667 (plain) or feel free to make any question, but questions technically are not donations.
If you need installation or usage support contact me at 21.co/analpaper (non-free high-priority service).
To request new features open a new issue and explain your improvement as you consider.
To report errors open a new issue only after collecting all the relevant log messages (run ./K.sh to see the output).
What exchange you don't want to be deleted from the bot?
