# Warning / Disclaimer
The software provided here does not guarantee any profits or function as well as sufficient security. Use at your own risk!!!
This is a private project, which is based on amateur knowledge. Trading cryptocurrencies involves an enormous amount of risks and is considered highly speculative. 
It is strongly recommended to deal intensively with the subject and this bot before using it. Also, when using the possibility should be considered that due to an unfavorable market development, technical errors, bugs or other reasons, the entire invested capital can be lost. This software should therefore only be used if it is justifiable to lose the entire invested capital!

# Objective
The dabo-bot is intended to help make and execute timely buy and sell decisions automatically in the fast-paced crypto environment. It is to be invested in the case of larger increases in value and investments are to be sold again when the prices fall, so that price gains are taken and losses are minimized.

# Naming
The name Dabo comes from the Star Trek universe.
Dabo was a roulette-style game of chance developed by the Ferengi.

I thought this fits quite well to the cryptotrading world and that's why I chose this name ;-)

# Features
## General:
- Compatible with the following crypto exchanges: Binance, OneTrading.com (ex BitpandaPro)
- Consideration of trading fees
- Automatic selection of cryptocurrencies to invest in

- Notifications via Signal Messenger to groups
- Individually selectable percentage of available capital per trade
- automatic definition of time intervals (e.g. every minute / every five minutes) based on the change of the rates
- Monitoring of overall market performance via own market performance index based for example on the MSCI World, leading currencies like BTC and ETH and their forecasts. 
- Emergency stop if balance falls below defined value
- Recording of available price values incl. RSI and MACD indicators of available cryptocurrencies
- Analysis tool for collected historical values to try out buy or sell conditions based on them 
- ReadOnly web interface for overview

# How to use/install
Linux knowledge required!

Needed a running Docker install. Traefik suggested, see

https://gitea.ds9.dedyn.io/olli/debian.ansible.docker

https://gitea.ds9.dedyn.io/olli/debian.ansible.traefik.server


## Download
```
git clone https://gitea.ds9.dedyn.io/olli/dabo.git
cd dabo
```

## Build container
```
docker -l warn compose --ansi never build --progress=plain --pull --no-cache --force-rm
```

## Configure
Edit docker-compose.yml or create docker-compose.override.yml to fit yout needs e.g. domain and network settings or basic auth, e.g. for traefik and letsencrypt:
```
echo '
services:

  dabo-bot:
    networks:
      - YOURNETWORK

  dabo-web:
    labels:
      - traefik.enable=true
      # DOMAIN
      - traefik.http.routers.dabo-YOURINSTANCENAME.rule=Host(`YOURDOMAIN`)
      - traefik.http.routers.dabo-YOURINSTANCENAME.entrypoints=https
      - traefik.http.routers.dabo-YOURINSTANCENAME.tls=true
      # Proxy to service-port
      - traefik.http.services.dabo-YOURINSTANCENAME.loadbalancer.server.port=80
      - traefik.http.routers.dabo-YOURINSTANCENAME.service=dabo-YOURINSTANCENAME
      # cert via letsencrypt
      - traefik.http.routers.dabo-YOURINSTANCENAME.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt
      # activate secHeaders@file & basic auth
      - traefik.http.routers.dabo-YOURINSTANCENAME.middlewares=secHeaders@file,dabo-YOURINSTANCENAME-basicauth
      # Generate crypted password string with: echo $(htpasswd -nB YOURUSER) | sed -e s/\\$/\\$\\$/g
      - traefik.http.middlewares.dabo-YOURINSTANCENAME-basicauth.basicauth.users=YOURUSER:YOUR-GENERATED-CRYPTED-PASSWORD-STRING
      # Traefik network
      - traefik.docker.network=traefik
    networks:
      - traefik

networks:
  YOURNETWORK:
    driver: bridge
    driver_opts:
      com.docker.network.bridge.name: YOURBRIDGE
  traefik:
    external: true

' >docker-compose.override.yml
```


Optional: If you use signal-cli (https://gitea.ds9.dedyn.io/olli/debian.ansible.signal-cli.client) and want do receive Signal-Messages from the bot you can create an SSH-Key to allow sending Signal-Messages e.g.:
```
mkdir -p home/.ssh
ssh-keygen -f home/.ssh/id_ed25519 -N "" -t ed25519
chmod 700 home/.ssh
cat home/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
```
and add Key on your signal-cli-Server to the authorized_keys of the signal-User


Create Secrets file for your API Key(s)
```
# for OneTrading.com (ex BitpandaPro)
echo 'local API_TOKEN=YOUR_VERY_LOOOOOOONNNNGGGG_API_TOKEN_FROM_BITPANDA' >dabo/.bitpanda-secrets
chmod 400 dabo/.bitpanda-secrets

# or for Binance
echo 'local API_SECRET="YOUR_LONG_API_SECRET_FROM_BINANCE"
local API_KEY="YOUR_LONG_API_KEY_FROM_BINANCE" '>dabo/.binance-secrets
chmod 400 dabo/.binance-secrets
```

Create Config
Especially set URL, STOCK_EXCHANGE, FEE, CURRENCY,... to fit your needs.
```
vim dabo-bot.conf
```
Defaults in dabo/dabo-bot.conf


## Prepare/Create a stretegy

IMPORTANT!!! 

THE DEFAULT STRATEGY MAY NOT FIT YOUR NEEDS OR WORK PROPERLY. SO YOU CAN LOOSE ALL YOUR MONEY!!! USE ON YOUR OWN RISK!!!

TEST YOUR OWN STRATEGY COMPREHENSIVELY AND OVER A LOGNER PERIOD OF TIME WITH analyze.sh!!! USE ON YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Strategie files can be put in the "strategies"-directory the defaults 

There is an example for a buy and a sell strategy file (deactivated by "return 0" in the forst line):
```
ls strategies/buy.example.conf
ls strategies/sell.example.conf
```
Aditional strategies can be created with Name
```
strategies/buy.<name>.conf
strategies/sell.<name>.conf
```
e.g named "mannover-sulu-1" for buy strategy and "command-kirk-3" for sell strategy
```
strategies/buy.mannover-sulu-1.conf
strategies/sell.command-kirk-3.conf
```

## Create individual watch-assets.csv
```
cp dabo/watch-assets.csv watch-assets.csv
```
Optional:
You can edit this file if you want do generate warnings or track your asstes/trades.
```
nano watch-assets.csv
```

## Set Rights
Set Rights (UID 10000 for non-root-User in running container):
```
chown -R 10000:10000 dabo data home strategies dabo-bot.conf watch-assets.csv
```

## Operational commands
Run/Restart:
```
docker compose down   # if an old instance is running 
docker compose up -d 
```

Check
```
docker compose ps
```

Logs/Output:
```
docker compose logs -f
```

Update:
```
# Optinal: Remove local data
git reset --hard HEAD^   # Remove local commits
git clean -fd            # Remove local uncommited files

# Update and restart
git pull https://gitea.ds9.dedyn.io/olli/dabo.git main -f
docker compose down 
docker compose up -d

```


dabo-bot.sh is the bot that trades and collects the quotes and analyze.sh is the tool with which you can try out strategies with the historical data.
The configuration files are called dabo-bot.conf and analyze.conf. analyze.sh also uses bot.conf but its variables are overwritten by analyze.conf if duplicated.

A Binance or OneTrading.com (ex BitpandaPro) account must exist and the API must be enabled.
The access data is stored in the file .binance-secrets in the project directory in the variables API_SECRET and API_KEY.
The access rights to this file should be set to the minimum necessary for security reasons.

# Strategies

You can put your own code into the strateghies it will be sourced by the bot.

You can use available variables to set and read things.

# Future ideas/featrues
- Crypto preferences (While/Blacklist for certain currencies)
- Overview trades/profits/losses for tax declaration
- Support for decentralized exchanges like uniswap to gain more "security"
- Archive/compress old or large CSV-History-files
