A modern crypto trading bot framework written in Go.
You can use BBGO to run the built-in strategies.
You can use BBGO's trading unit and back-test unit to implement your own strategies.
You can use BBGO's underlying common exchange API; currently, it supports 4+ major exchanges, so you don't have to repeat the implementation.
- Exchange abstraction interface.
- Stream integration (user data web socket, market data web socket).
- Real-time orderBook integration through a web socket.
- TWAP order execution support. See TWAP Order Execution
- PnL calculation.
- Slack/Telegram notification.
- Back-testing: KLine-based back-testing engine. See Back-testing
- Built-in parameter optimization tool.
- Built-in Grid strategy and many other built-in strategies.
- Multi-exchange session support: you can connect to more than 2 exchanges with different accounts or subaccounts.

Add your dotenv file:
# for Binance Exchange, if you have one
BINANCE_API_KEY=
BINANCE_API_SECRET=
# if you want to use binance.us, change this to 1
BINANCE_US=0
# for MAX exchange, if you have one
MAX_API_KEY=
MAX_API_SECRET=
# for OKEx exchange, if you have one
OKEX_API_KEY=
OKEX_API_SECRET=
OKEX_API_PASSPHRASE
# for kucoin exchange, if you have one
KUCOIN_API_KEY=
KUCOIN_API_SECRET=
KUCOIN_API_PASSPHRASE=
KUCOIN_API_KEY_VERSION=2
# for Bybit exchange, if you have one
BYBIT_API_KEY=
BYBIT_API_SECRET=
Prepare your dotenv file .env.local
and BBGO yaml config file bbgo.yaml
.
To check the available environment variables, please see Environment Variables
The minimal bbgo.yaml could be generated by:
curl -o bbgo.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/c9s/bbgo/main/config/minimal.yaml
To run strategy:
bbgo run
To start bbgo with the frontend dashboard:
bbgo run --enable-webserver
If you want to switch to another dotenv file, you can add an --dotenv
option or --config
:
bbgo sync --dotenv .env.dev --config config/grid.yaml --session binance
To query transfer history:
bbgo transfer-history --session max --asset USDT --since "2019-01-01"
BBGO provides the script for UNIX systems/subsystems to synchronize date with Binance. jq
and bc
are required to be
installed in previous.
To install the dependencies in Ubuntu, try the following commands:
sudo apt install -y bc jq
And to synchronize the date, try:
sudo ./scripts/sync_time.sh
You could also add the script to crontab so that the system time could get synchronized with Binance regularly.
Currently only supports Binance testnet. To run bbgo in testnet, apply new API keys from Binance Test Network, and set the following env before you start bbgo:
export PAPER_TRADE=1
export DISABLE_MARKET_CACHE=1 # the symbols supported in testnet is far less than the mainnet
By default, BBGO does not sync your trading data from the exchange sessions, so it's hard to calculate your profit and loss correctly.
By synchronizing trades and orders to the local database, you can earn some benefits like PnL calculations, backtesting and asset calculation.
You can only use one database driver MySQL or SQLite to store your trading data.
Notice: SQLite is not fully supported, we recommend you use MySQL instead of SQLite.
To use MySQL database for data syncing, first, you need to install your MySQL server:
# For Ubuntu Linux
sudo apt-get install -y mysql-server
# For newer Ubuntu Linux
sudo apt install -y mysql-server
Create your mysql database:
mysql -uroot -e "CREATE DATABASE bbgo CHARSET utf8"
Then put these environment variables in your .env.local
file:
DB_DRIVER=mysql
DB_DSN="user:password@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/bbgo"
To use SQLite3 instead of MySQL, simply put these environment variables in your .env.local
file:
DB_DRIVER=sqlite3
DB_DSN=bbgo.sqlite3
Once you have your database configured, you can sync your own trading data from the exchange.
See Configure Sync For Private Trading Data
To use Redis, first you need to install your Redis server:
# For Ubuntu/Debian Linux
sudo apt-get install -y redis
# For newer Ubuntu/Debian Linux
sudo apt install -y redis
Set the following environment variables in your bbgo.yaml
:
persistence:
redis:
host: 127.0.0.1 # The IP address or the hostname to your Redis server, 127.0.0.1 if same as BBGO
port: 6379 # Port to Redis server, default 6379
db: 0 # DB number to use. You can set to another DB to avoid conflict if other applications are using Redis too.
Check out the strategy directory strategy for all built-in strategies:
pricealert
strategy demonstrates how to use the notification system pricealert. See document.buyandhold
strategy demonstrates how to subscribe kline events and submit market order buyandholdbollgrid
strategy implements a basic grid strategy with the built-in bollinger indicator bollgridgrid
strategy implements the fixed price band grid strategy grid. See document.supertrend
strategy uses Supertrend indicator as trend, and DEMA indicator as noise filter supertrend. See document.support
strategy uses K-lines with high volume as support support. See document.flashcrash
strategy implements a strategy that catches the flashcrash flashcrashmarketcap
strategy implements a strategy that rebalances the portfolio based on the market capitalization marketcap. See document.pivotshort
- shorting focused strategy.irr
- return rate strategy.drift
- drift strategy.grid2
- the second-generation grid strategy.rebalance
- rebalances your portfolio based on target weights. rebalance. See document.
To run these built-in strategies, just modify the config file to make the configuration suitable for you, for example, if
you want to run
buyandhold
strategy:
vim config/buyandhold.yaml
# run bbgo with the config
bbgo run --config config/buyandhold.yaml
See Back-testing
Create your go package, initialize the repository with go mod
, and add bbgo as a dependency:
go mod init
go get github.com/c9s/bbgo@main
Write your own strategy in the strategy file:
vim strategy.go
You can grab the skeleton strategy from https://github.com/c9s/bbgo/blob/main/pkg/strategy/skeleton/strategy.go
Now add your config:
mkdir config
(cd config && curl -o bbgo.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/c9s/bbgo/main/config/minimal.yaml)
Add your strategy package path to the config file config/bbgo.yaml

Run bbgo run
command, bbgo will compile a wrapper binary that imports your strategy:
dotenv -f .env.local -- bbgo run --config config/bbgo.yaml
Or you can build your own wrapper binary via:
bbgo build --config config/bbgo.yaml

In order to minimize the strategy code, bbgo supports dynamic dependency injection.
Before executing your strategy, bbgo injects the components into your strategy object if it finds the embedded field that is using bbgo component. for example:
type Strategy struct {
Symbol string `json:"symbol"
Market types.Market
}
Supported components (single exchange strategy only for now):
*bbgo.ExchangeSession
bbgo.OrderExecutor
If you have Symbol string
field in your strategy, your strategy will be detected as a symbol-based strategy, then the
following types could be injected automatically:
types.Market
- Load config from the config file.
- Allocate and initialize exchange sessions.
- Add exchange sessions to the environment (the data layer).
- Use the given environment to initialize the trader object (the logic layer).
- The trader initializes the environment and starts the exchange connections.
- Call strategy.Run() method sequentially.
Please check out the example directory: examples
Initialize MAX API:
key := os.Getenv("MAX_API_KEY")
secret := os.Getenv("MAX_API_SECRET")
maxRest := maxapi.NewRestClient(maxapi.ProductionAPIURL)
maxRest.Auth(key, secret)
Creating user data stream to get the order book (depth):
stream := max.NewStream(key, secret)
stream.Subscribe(types.BookChannel, symbol, types.SubscribeOptions{})
streambook := types.NewStreamBook(symbol)
streambook.BindStream(stream)

You can write an article about BBGO on any topic, in 750-1500 words for exchange, and I can implement the strategy for you (depending on the complexity and effort). If you're interested in, DM me in telegram https://t.me/c123456789s or twitter https://twitter.com/c9s, and we can discuss.
If you want BBGO to support a new crypto exchange that is not included in the current BBGO, we can implement it for you. The cost is 10 ETH. If you're interested in it, DM me in telegram https://t.me/c123456789s.
