Martingale (mean reversion, or known as DCA in 3commas) crypto trading bot

Welcome to akili-martingale!

Jambo! and welcome! akili-martingale is a grid bot that uses the martingale or what is known as DCA in 3Commas to trade crypto currencies. The word akili means brain or mind in Swahili. The objective here is to make it the most intelligent grid bot in existence that has as many advanced features as possible, but which at the same time can be used by your typical crypto trader with basic grid bot experience

This, as with all projects was born out of frustration on the lack of features with "commercial" bots out there. They always missed that little tweak that in my mind would make things a lot more better, and hopefully profitable.

Let's get the usual out of the way...

I'll be testing on more exchanges soon. So far so good and the grid works as it should. There some little things I still need to iron out such as

1. No errors messages. It just throws python exceptions.
2. If you loose connection to the exchange, the script ends. It should be able to save state so you can pause, resume or restart if an exchange disconnect occurs.
3. If there is a large price rise that takes out more than one order above the current price ,the grid gets confused it scans orders from the bottom up. This can be mitigated by having one open order above. This doesn't happen if the price drops.
4. Need to Dockerise it so a user doesn't have to mess around with python and screen if running it off a server.
5. Implement a way to control the grid and change parameters on the fly using telegram, keypresses, or an open port.
