Moving Average Trading Bot

To develop an automated trading bot based on the moving average crossover strategy that can operate autonomously in live markets with minimal human intervention.

The bot continuously monitors the price of a given asset and executes trades when the short-term moving average crosses the long-term moving average.

• Real-time price monitoring with moving average calculations
• Automated trade execution on crossover signals
• Backtrader library for backtesting and live trading
• REST API integration for market data and order management
• Docker containerization for consistent deployment

The trading bot has been deployed and operates autonomously in live markets with risk controls in place.

Key challenges overcome during development and deployment:

• Implementing a reliable and fault-tolerant system for 24/7 operation
• Ensuring system stability without manual intervention
• Handling network issues and API connection failures gracefully
• Optimizing parameters for different market regimes
• Implementing proper logging and monitoring for production environment
