DCA Bitcoin Bot

Simple bot that buys bitcoin in Buda.com following the Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy.

Getting Started

To get the bot working, first, you need to clone the repo.

git clone https://github.com/aamatte/dca-btc-bot.git

Create a secrets.yml file.

credentials:
  Buda:
    key: YOUR-KEY-HERE
    secret: YOUR-SECRET-HERE

apis:
  currencyconverter_key: YOUR currencyconverterapi.com API KEY

Adjust your settings in settings.yml. You have to edit:

...

investment:
  # Every how many hours the bot tries to buy
  interval_hours: 2 # Every 2 hours

  # Monthly investment
  monthly: 10000 # 10,000 CLP every month

  # Max overprice
  overprice_limit: 0.03 # 3% max overprice

...

Finally, if you want to run the bot.

pipenv install
pipenv shell
python bots.py run buda

That will run the bot in dry_run mode (it won't place any order). Once you are sure everything is correct, in settings.yml set:

dry_run: False

Prerequisites

You need to have installed python3.6 and pipenv.

Deployment

You can run the bot every 2-5 minutes with a cron job.

crontab -e

At the end of the file put something like this:

*/2 * * * * cd ~/dca-btc-bot && /usr/local/bin/pipenv run ~/dca-btc-bot/bots.py run buda >> ~/dca-btc-bot/log.log 2>&1

That will run the bot every 2 minutes.
