🚀 Quick Start Guide - Crypto Trading Bot

Get the bot running in 5 minutes!

📋 Prerequisites

  • Python 3.8+ installed
  • Git installed
  • Binance account with API keys

⚡ Quick Setup (Windows/Linux/Mac)

1. Clone Repository

git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/crypto-trading-bot-dashboard.git
cd crypto-trading-bot-dashboard

2. Install Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Setup Credentials

python setup_credentials.py

Enter your Binance API keys when prompted.

4. Run the Bot

Option A: Adaptive Scalping Scanner (Recommended)

python scalping_scanner.py
  • Scans 15m → 30m → continuous 5m until signals found
  • Perfect for quick scalping trades

Option B: Strategy Scanner (Your Original Bot Logic)

python strategy_scanner.py
  • Uses your 4 original strategies: liquidity, momentum, pattern, candlestick
  • Better for swing trades

Option C: Execute Trades from Signals

python trading_executor.py
  • Reads signals from scanner results
  • Executes trades with risk management
  • Monitors positions automatically

🎯 Complete Workflow

# 1. Get signals
python scalping_scanner.py

# 2. Execute trades
python trading_executor.py
# Choose option 1 for scalping signals

# 3. Monitor (automatic)
# The executor monitors positions and closes them at target/stop loss

🆘 Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

  1. "python not recognized" → Use py instead of python
  2. API errors → Check your Binance API keys and permissions
  3. No signals found → Normal in some market conditions, try different timeframes
  4. Permission errors → Run as administrator or check file permissions

Get Help:

  • Check the logs in console output
  • Review config/credentials.json format
  • Ensure API keys have futures trading permissions
