This project is an automated cryptocurrency trading bot built for Binance Futures, a platform for trading crypto derivatives. It uses a strategy called statistical arbitrage, also known as pairs trading, where the bot watches two related assets, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, and trades based on the assumption that their prices tend to move back toward a normal relationship with each other over time. It specifically uses cointegration analysis and a Z-Score, both statistical methods for measuring how far two prices have drifted from their usual relationship, to decide when to trade. The author explains that most parts of the bot are open source on purpose, including the graphical interface, the code that connects to Binance's data feeds, and the logging and dashboard tools, so users can check for themselves exactly how their API keys are handled and how trades are executed. However, the core trading formulas and decision thresholds are not included as readable code. That piece is distributed as a compiled, closed-source Python module, so the exact mathematical strategy itself stays private even though the surrounding infrastructure is visible. The bot describes itself as non-custodial, meaning your Binance API keys stay encrypted on your own computer and are used only to connect directly to Binance, never sent to the bot's creator. It currently requires Python 3.10 or newer and is built for Windows, with Mac support planned. The repository also includes a separate backtesting toolkit that lets you download historical price data from the exchange OKX and rerun the stat-arb strategy against it yourself to check performance figures like the Sharpe ratio and maximum drawdown. The author also points to a subreddit for community discussion.
