Algorithmic Trading Using Python #13 - Crypto Trading Bots

In this part of my algorithmic trading video course, you will learn how to create crypto trading bots inside the QuantConnect platform.

Here is the list of tickers used in the code:
universe = ['BTCUSD', 'LTCUSD', 'ETHUSD', 'ETCUSD', 'RRTUSD', 'ZECUSD', 'XMRUSD', 'XRPUSD', 'EOSUSD', 'SANUSD', 'OMGUSD', 'NEOUSD', 'ETPUSD', 'BTGUSD', 'SNTUSD', 'BATUSD', 'FUNUSD', 'ZRXUSD', 'TRXUSD', 'REQUSD', 'LRCUSD', 'WAXUSD', 'DAIUSD', 'BFTUSD', 'ODEUSD', 'ANTUSD', 'XLMUSD', 'XVGUSD', 'MKRUSD', 'KNCUSD', 'LYMUSD', 'UTKUSD', 'VEEUSD', 'ESSUSD', 'IQXUSD', 'ZILUSD', 'BNTUSD', 'XRAUSD', 'VETUSD', 'GOTUSD', 'XTZUSD', 'MLNUSD', 'PNKUSD', 'DGBUSD', 'BSVUSD', 'ENJUSD', 'PAXUSD']

these tutorials are so good....soooo good... i like how u never leave anything out, even little files and u always go over and edit to clarify things, thank you

Really great video series.

One question: If we are already parsing minimumVolume and Self as arguments in the Pair class, then why do we have to save minimumVolume as a class variable under init? Wouldnt the Pair class still work without doing so?

how can we write algorithms for crypto options

What should I check if backtest works but not livetrading or paper trading?

Hi! Can you do an EMA crypto strategy where we buy when the 30 day EMA crosses over the 55 day? This is a great strategy for crypto and I'm sure it would also work for stocks

[alexanderdekrout]

Thank you so much for your videos!

I do have a question though, If I would want to use a custom timeframe and custom indicators with that timeframe, the place for consolidating the data and the rolling windows of data and the indicators would be the inside the Pair class, right? I am a bit confused about where to put the event handler for those.
Thanks in advance!

can we negotiate and you help me build a simple robot based on one or two indicators bro

Interestingly line 15 had a syntax error at "for" and i have no idea why. Tried everything for a tab to no space between at all all the way to spamming space like my life was dependent on it

Copying your code fixed it though. I have 0 idea why

Also continue gave a bunch of crap. Assuming its due to not being in a loop. pass should be a good replacement though since its not in a loop and does not need to iterate again

I sold call option for Nov 19th and stock is going above my strike so what best to do

[Arstotzka]

I didn't think about creating a class for each symbol, instead I re-updated a single indicator in a for loop for every symbol 😂

[stevelassu]

SyntaxError when using "continue" within the code. Spacing is exactly as per your video.

[samikatta]

I get an error in line 36 saying that "continue is not in the proper loop" How can i fix that?


Thank you in advance

thanks for sharing. Stupid Python question: why "algorithm" (what does it refer to?) in the constructor
class Pair:
def __init__(self, algorithm, ticker, minimumVolume):...
thanks. best
