A Telegram bot for remotely managing Binance Trade Bot.
I wanted to develop an easy way of managing Binance Trade Bot so that I wouldn't have to constantly ssh into my VPS, and my non-techy friends could enjoy the benefits of automated trading.
The program's default behavior fetches Telegram token and chat_id from Binance Trade Bot's apprise.yml file. For a quick Telegram bot setup guide click here.
For a Docker setup guide click here.
Python 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9 is required. BTB-manager-telegram should be installed in the same parent directory as Binance Trade Bot. Your filesystem should look like this:
PARENT_DIR
├── BTB-manager-telegram
└── binance-trade-bot
To begin with, open a terminal and place yourself in the directory where the binance-trade-bot is already present, e.g. if the binance_trade_bot directory is located in /home/user/trading_bot run:
cd /home/user/trading_botThen, run the following lines:
git clone https://github.com/lorcalhost/BTB-manager-telegram.git
cd BTB-manager-telegram
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txtAs the telegram bot is launching itself the Binance Trade Bot, you only have to start the BTB Manager Telegram like so:
python3 -m btb_manager_telegramIf the bot is running on a server you may want to keep it running even after ssh connection is closed by using nohup. Note the trailing "&" :
nohup python3 -m btb_manager_telegram &However, you can run the bot with options :
# Autostart the Binance Trade Bot when the BTB Manager starts
# (Otherwise you will have to manually start the Binance Trade Bot from telegram)
python3 -m btb_manager_telegram -s
# Use the french translation. Available translation : en, ru, fr, de, nl, es, id, cn
python3 -m btb_manager_telegram -l fr
# Make possible to plot the bot's performance in EUR instead of USD
python3 -m btb_manager_telegram -u EUR
# If using other currencies than USD or EUR, for example GBP, you will have to provide
# an openexchangerates API key, see the flag --oer_key.
# Get you key here : https://openexchangerates.org/signup/free
python3 -m btb_manager_telegram -u GBP -o OPENEXCHANGERATES_KEY
# Of course you can combine all of this!
python3 -m btb_manager_telegram -s -l fr -u EUR
# Using nohup with options
nohup python3 -m btb_manager_telegram -s -l fr -u EUR &
# See all available options
python3 -m btb_manager_telegram --helpIf the trade bot has been launched with the telegram bot, stopping the telegram bot will stop the trade bot.
-
If the telegram bot has been launched without
nohup, closing the terminal or pressingCTRL + Cwill stop the bot. -
If the telegram bot has been launched with
nohup, the bot can be stopped with the commandkill $(cat btbmt.pid)(no animal will be hurt in this operation). If this command respond the filebtbmt.pid, it his very likely the telegram bot is no longer running.
First of, stop the telegram bot.
git pull
python3 -m pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt
You can now reboot the telegram bot.
This bot supports custom scripts in a plugin manner. An extensive documentation on customs scripts is available here.
Copy the i18n/en.yml file and rename it to e.g. i18n/it.yml and translate all the included values.
Check the translation is complete :
cd i18n
pip3 install click
python3 check_translation_file.py it.ymlPlease submit your translation in a PR for it to profit everybody!
Make sure Binance Trade Bot's apprise.yml file is correctly setup before running, the telegram manager retreives this file to connect the bot.
If Binance Trade Bot and BTB-Manager-Telegram were not installed in the same parent directory or if apprise.yml is not setup or you want to use different token and chat_id from the ones in the apprise.yml file, you can set these two keys with the options --token and --chat_id
If the Binance Trade Bot has its own python environment, that is not shared with the telegram manager, you have to specify the path of the python binary used by the trade bot with the option --python_path. For example, if you created a virtualenv specific to the binance trade bot in the folder /home/user/trading_bot/binance-trade-bot/venv, you have to run the telegram bot like so:
python3 -m btb_manager_telegram --python_path /home/user/trading_bot/binance-trade-bot/venv/bin/pythonIf you would like to run several Binance Trade Bot instances at the same time click here.
The program is fully compatible with Linux and Windows through WSL.
RWX permission problems are present on native Windows and MacOS.
