Freelance (Jan-2022 to present time) [python engineer / developer] Various crypto trading and arbitrage bots written in Python and deployed on AWS. ML crypto robot trader - Own project (Mar-2021 to Jan-2022) [python engineer / developer] Designed and developed a robot trader for intraday trading on spot and futures crypto markets. The robot works with most popular cryptocurrency exchanges: Coinbase, Binance, Bybit. The project was implemented using Python programming language as follows: - For an initial training of the robot, historical data is needed. Firstly, this data was sourced from huge CSV datasets, with information from a Limited Order Book (LOB), provided by crypto exchanges. Then, for more up-to-date historical data, WebSocket and MongoDB where used to collect and store this data. - The initial training of the robot was a most trickiest part of this project. Different types of Machine Learning have been tried and explored. Finally, random forest Machine Learning Algorithm was chosen. After training, it can predict a direction of the crypto asset price movement with up to 95% accuracy. - To operate, the robot receives real-time data from a WebSocket channel of the cryptocurrency exchange, then, using the model obtained during training, it predicts the direction of price movement and places a buy/sell order into the LOB via the exchange API by sending POST/GET requests. - The robot is optimized to work in multiprocessor mode on multiple CPU cores.
