Requires Python programming knowledge to write custom strategies and a connection to a crypto exchange API for live or dry-run trading.
Freqtrade is a free, open-source cryptocurrency trading bot. It automatically buys and sells digital currencies on your behalf based on rules you define, aiming to remove the stress and constant screen time required for manual crypto trading. You can control the bot and check its performance using Telegram, a built-in web interface, or direct commands. At its core, the bot connects to major cryptocurrency exchanges like Binance, Kraken, and Bybit. You write or configure a "strategy" that tells the bot exactly when to buy and sell. Before risking any actual funds, you can run the bot in a "dry-run" mode, which simulates trades using live market data without spending real money. The project also includes backtesting tools, which let you run your strategy against historical market data to see how it would have performed in the past. For more advanced users, there are machine learning features that can automatically adjust and optimize your trading rules based on real market conditions. This tool is designed for people who want to automate their cryptocurrency trading and are comfortable with a bit of coding. The creators specifically recommend having Python programming knowledge, as writing and understanding custom strategies involves looking at code. A typical user might be a developer or a tech-savvy individual who already trades crypto manually and wants to test automated strategies or run trades around the clock without watching the market. The project is actively maintained, with a clear separation between a well-tested "stable" version and a "develop" version that includes newer, experimental features. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with a modest hardware requirement of just 2GB of RAM and a small amount of disk space, meaning it can easily be run on a basic cloud server or a personal computer. However, the README is careful to emphasize that this software is for educational purposes only. Trading cryptocurrency carries significant financial risk, and the authors take no responsibility for any money lost while using the bot. They strongly advise starting with the risk-free dry-run mode and thoroughly understanding how the bot works before connecting it to real funds.
