Mercury is a core package used in Lycon project which is a platform for traders to use and employ Quantitative Finance in their trading. The tool is still a work in progress and so far only works with Binance APIs.
DISCLAIMER: this is just an example of how to interact with the llibrary, and it is not an example of a viable algorithm that can be used to trade for profit. Look at the Disclaimer section for more information on using this library to trade.
In the main.py file there's a short example algorithm which buys ETH when the RSI level is 40 or below, indicating that the asset may be oversold, and sells the bought ETH when the RSI level is 60 or above.
The package has many features including:
- Price Acquisition: The library has the code required to obtain historic data and update it as live data comes in.
- Indicator Calculation: The package contains all the needed functions and routines to calculate indicators for a given security.
- Basic Algorithmic Trading: By using simple functions you can define parameters for the bot to trade automatically based on market conditions.
The future plans for the bot includes but not limited to:
- Adding various other indicators,
- Adding support for other exchanges,
- Improving runtime routines to be more robust,
- Implement more advanced algorithms,
- Implement more statistical analysis tools.
I will post regulat updates on the development of the project on my website in its designated section here and on my LinkedIn as reposts from the company page here.
