I have updated Lexii substantially in the past week or so. Lexii is intended to be a monitored bot that will trade crypto on binance automatically based on the values calculated from the technical indicators. I am well aware of other bots and many of the charting tools in use. I wanted to write my own using Go.
This is essentially the 2nd version of Lexii which is the 3rd of the crypto bots I have been writing in Go. Lexii works with the Binance exchange and scans all ETH pairs every 5 minutes. I used to try to have her work on a one-minute interval but that was not looking like a good prospect for making any money trading.
The latest innovation I have added is to create 2 different sets of the technical indicators I prefer. One set is based on 30 days of closing data for each day. the other set operates with the 5-minute interval data. the technical indicators I prefer are a Relative Strength Indicator (RSI) and a Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)
By using a longer term and a shorter term set of indicators I am hoping to avoid the volatility and really short-term spikes that seem to have cost me so much in my crypto trading education.
Lexii saves the values calculated from the updates into a Postgres database. Only tonight did I get the code working that will if necessary, refresh the database schema and reload the data. Loading the data takes about 34 minutes so I have made provisions for restarts so she can pick up where she left off.
This is basically a command line program but does include a single page web display of what is going on. MerlinWs, another of my bots, included a way to fire a snap trade from the web page and that might get incorporated into Lexii at some future date.
