      "body": "## Introduction\n\nI don't have much knowledge about trading,  I design and build things for a living. A friend asked me to spin up a bot for him. This will help beginners trying to build a trading bot. The design of the bot is strategy independent so you can plugin any strategy or a mix of strategies. I used Bittrex API but you can use any exchange API with this architecture.\n\n##### What we will talk talk about\n* Few basics of trading (can be skipped)\n* Bittrex API\n* Architecture of the bot\n* Mechanics of bot\n* Adding strategies to the bot\n* What not to do\n* Things to keep in mind\n* Testing\n\n##### What is not here\n* Strategies\n* HFT (you can use the architecture)\n* Scalability\n* How to get rich\n\n---\nFor people who are new to coding/development (rest can skip)\n\n```\n\t\n\tWhat I used to build the bot : PHP and MySQL\n\tServer: Ubuntu on DigitalOcean \n\t\n\tWhat tools you can use: Any language you are comfortable  with or \n\tyou are learning. This article is not language specific.\n\tYou don't need to learn any complex frameworks. Don't go looking\n\tfor frameworks if you are a beginner.\n\t\n\tThings you will need to know in any language you want to use:\n\t1. How to make http requests and parse JSON\n\t2. How to store and read data from a database\n\t3. Running cronjobs and background tasks\n\n\tYou can also contact me to build a bot for you.\n\t\n```\nYou can get 10$ credit for digitalocean using my referral link <https://m.do.co/c/22764aaa6bbf> \n\n---\t\n\n## Basics of Trading\n\nI am discussing few basics, the minimum required to understand the rest of the post. If you have done trading before and understand the type of orders and partial orders, this can be skipped.\n\n#### ELI5\n\nTrading simply means exchanging A for B (called BUY B) or B for A (called SELL B) in market A-B. e.g. In BTC-BCC market, if you place an order for exchange of BTC for BCC, you are placing a BUY BCC order, if you place an order for exchange of BCC for BTC, you are placing a SELL BCC order.\n\nTo trade, you place a BUY or SELL order of type T (will come to types later) in the market for a quantity Q and Rate R (per unit price). If the quantity and rate of your order matches the requirements or conditions of another order of the opposite kind, a transaction takes place. The requirements and the conditions are determined by the type of order.\n\nFew terms:  \n\"Ask\" - The lowest rate at which someone in the market A-B is ready to SELL B for  \n\"Bid\" - The highest rate at which someone in the market A-B is ready to BUY B for  \n\"Last\" - The rate at which the last transaction took place in the market\n\n\n#### Types of Order\n\nThere are different types of orders which can be placed. We are discussing only two types here, because most APIs allow only these two\n\n* Market Order - When you want to buy or sell immediately but you don't care for the rate, you place a Market order. In this case you don't control how much you bought something for or for how much you sold it for.\n\n* Limit Order - When you want to set a maximum rate for your BUY order or a minimum rate for your SELL order, you place a Limit order where the maximum/minimum price is referred to as Limit e.g. You placed a Limit order to SELL 1 BCC FOR 0.005 BTC (Your Ask), but if the bid in the market is for 0.007 BTC, then your order will fetch you 0.007 BTC. If there is no bid in the market over 0.005, it won't sell. \n\nIn Market Order, there is guarantee of fullfillment. In Limit Order type, there is a guarantee of price. More types of orders like Stop orders, All or None orders, Good till Cancelled etc. can be placed at the Exchange using their dashboard. I suggest read about them too. \n\n#### Order Book\n\nBelow is a screenshot for the Order Book of BTC-BCC market.   \n\n![Order Book example] (https://i.imgur.com/upheC7h.png)\n\nIt is a list of current Bids in descending order and Asks and in ascending order. So on the left you will see highest bid on the top and on the right you will see lowest ask on the top. When you will place a SELL or a BUY order it will show in the order book. As soon as an order gets complete, it disappears from the order book and goes into Market history. The blanks you see were the rows which were getting updated while I took the screenshot.\n\nThis is sufficient for you to understand the API. But first go here <a href=\"https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-BCC\" target=\"_blank\"> BTC-BCC Market</a> and spend few minutes looking at live action, look around the page and see if you understand most of it.\n\n\n## Bittrex API\n\nTake a look at the Bittrex API -  <a href=\"https://bittrex.com/Home/Api\" target=\"_blank\"> Bittrex API Documentation</a> If you are using any other exchange, the difference will be probably between endpoint names and flags.\n\nFew points to note for Bittrex : All requests are GET requests and gives data in JSON. There is always a \"success\" flag in each and every request, which is boolean so you should check it everytime you make a request. Bittrex has no way to tell you when something happened, like an order got completed in thar market (some APIs do that), you have to constantly make requests to find status of your order.\n\nLet's dive into playing around with the API and understanding more about it. The documentation starts with authentication but we will talk about that later. \n\n### Public API \n\nPublic API doesn't requires any sort of authentication. You can view these endpoints in your browser.\n\n#### Ticker\n\n**/public/getticker?market=**\n\nTicker returns the most current Bid, Ask and Last rate for a market. The values will change every moment if lot of people are trading in the market. Let's find out the current Bid, Ask and Last of BTC-BCC market. <a href=\"https://bittrex.com/api/v1.1/public/getticker?market=BTC-BCC \" target=\"_blank\">\nhttps://bittrex.com/api/v1.1/**public/getticker?market=**BTC-BCC </a>. \nVisit it again, and you might see different rates. \n\n#### Order Book\n**/public/getorderbook?market= ___ &type= ____**\n\nThis endpoint gets the orderbook for the requested market. Type can have values as 'sell' : returns only sell order data, 'buy': returns only buy order data or 'both'. Check the order book of BTC-LTC market <a href=\"https://bittrex.com/api/v1.1/public/getorderbook?market=BTC-LTC&type=both \" target=\"_blank\">\nhttps://bittrex.com/api/v1.1/**public/getorderbook?market=BTC-LTC&type=both**</a>\n\nLets look at few different error messages:  \n\n* When market is invalid, mostly happens in typos. <a href=\"https://bittrex.com/api/v1.1/public/getorderbook?market=BTC-LTTT&type=both \" target=\"_blank\">\nhttps://bittrex.com/api/v1.1/public/getorderbook?market=BTC-**LTTT**&type=both</a>  \n\n`  {\"success\":false,\"message\":\"INVALID_MARKET\",\"result\":null}  `  \n\n* When type is invalid. <a href=\"https://bittrex.com/api/v1.1/public/getorderbook?market=BTC-LTC&type=random \" target=\"_blank\">\nhttps://bittrex.com/api/v1.1/public/getorderbook?market=BTC-LTC&type=**random**</a>\n  \n`  \n   {\"success\":false,\"message\":\"TYPE_INVALID\",\"result\":null} \n`\n\nNote the success flag is false in both the above requests.  \n\nSimilarly in the documentation there are other public endpoints like getmarketsummary, getcurrencies etc. Copy the links from the examples in the  <a href=\"https://bittrex.com/Home/Api\" target=\"_blank\"> Bittrex API Documentation</a> and visit them in new tab to understand the structure of the data.\n\n\n```\n Task (for beginners) : Ping the BTC-BCC ticker endpoint every minute for 10\n minutes and find % change in Bid and Ask per minute and total % change in 10\n minutes. If you have never made GET requests before or parsed JSON, stop \n reading, and do this task. Comment below with your results and time and date.\n\n```\n\n\n### Market API\n\nMarket API endpoints are interaction points with the market. Using them you can place an order, cancel an order and look at your open orders. Open orders refer to orders which you have placed in the market but have not been fullfilled yet.\nThese endpoints require authentication which we will talk in the end of this section. So you won't be able to test the endpoints right now, we will first understand the responses. Bittrex allows only limit type of orders to be placed for now (refer to the Basics of Trading section). It had market orders in the past but they are not available anymore.\n\nNote: the API endpoints below will be missing apikey parameter. They are required for Market API. We will add it when we learn about authentication. \n\n#### Limit Buy Order  \n\n**/market/buylimit?market= ___ &quantity= __ &rate= ___** \n\nSuppose we want to buy 0.0032673 BCC at the rate of 0.001423 BTC, we will form our url like\n/market/buylimit?market=BTC-BCC&quantity=0.0032673&rate=0.001423 \n. The response looks like this: \n\n```\n{\n\t\"success\" : true,\n\t\"message\" : \"\",\n\t\"result\" : {\n\t\t\t\"uuid\" : \"d402d53c-0d70-11e3-94b5-425231b86ab6\"\n\t\t}\n}\n``` \n\nThe flag \"success\" is true, so our order got placed in the market. It returned a uuid (universally unique identifier) which represents our order ID in the market. To find out anything about the order we placed we will use this uuid.\n\n\n#### Limit Sell Order\n\n**/market/selllimit?market= ___ &quantity= __ &rate= ___** \n\nThis returns response similar to limitbuy, a uuid.  \n\nNote:  Bittrex doesn't allows orders which have size less than 50,000 Satoshis. It gives you error message of \"DUST\\_TRADE\\_DISALLOWED\\_MIN\\_VALUE\\_50K\\_SAT\". [More info](https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/202605394-Updates-to-Minimum-Trade-Sizes) \n\n#### Points to keep in mind for fullfillment of orders\n*  \tRemember the orders using the above endpoints are limit orders. A Limit Sell will get complete/fullfilled whenever the price in the market is higher than or equal to the rate you requested. A Limit Buy order will get complete whenever the price in the market is lower or equal to the rate you requested. \n*  Placement of an order and fullfillment of an order are two different steps. The success message in the previous two discussed endpoints is a confirmation of successful placement of an order.\n*  Sometimes your oder will get fullfilled partially only. e.g. You placed a LIMIT BUY order for 100 BCC at the rate 0.005. Someone else placed a SELL order at the same or lower rate, but had only say 20 BCC to sell. As soon as your order got fullfilled with 20 BCC, say the market went up. It will remain partially filled unless the market comes down or you cancel the order which will cancel the remaining order.\n\n\n#### Open Orders\n**/market/getopenorders**   \n**/market/getopenorders?market= ___** \n\nOpen orders returns the orders which have not been fullfilled, partially or completely. You can request for a specific market also. Below is the response we get. Look at the // comments below to understand more (they are not part of the response).\n\n```\n\n    {\n\t\"success\" : true,\n\t\"message\" : \"\",\n\t\"result\" : [{\n\t\t\t\"Uuid\" : null,\n\t\t\t\"OrderUuid\" : \"09aa5bb6-8232-41aa-9b78-a5a1093e0211\",\n\t\t\t\"Exchange\" : \"BTC-LTC\",\n\t\t\t\"OrderType\" : \"LIMIT_SELL\", \n\t\t\t\"Quantity\" : 5.00000000,\n\t\t\t\"QuantityRemaining\" : 5.00000000,\n\t\t\t\"Limit\" : 2.00000000,\n\t\t\t\"CommissionPaid\" : 0.00000000,\n\t\t\t\"Price\" : 0.00000000,\n\t\t\t\"PricePerUnit\" : null,\n\t\t\t\"Opened\" : \"2014-07-09T03:55:48.77\",\n\t\t\t\"Closed\" : null,\n\t\t\t\"CancelInitiated\" : false,\n\t\t\t\"ImmediateOrCancel\" : false,\n\t\t\t\"IsConditional\" : false,\n\t\t\t\"Condition\" : null,\n\t\t\t\"ConditionTarget\" : null\n\t\t}, {\n\t\t\t\"Uuid\" : null,\n\t\t\t\"OrderUuid\" : This is uuid which we got when placed the LIMIT SELL \n\t\t\torder. You can use this to search for your order.\n\t\t\t\"Exchange\" :  Market\n\t\t\t\"OrderType\" : Type of order\n\t\t\t\"Quantity\" : The quantity you requested for\n\t\t\t\"QuantityRemaining\" : This tells how much is yet to be bought/sold.\n\t\t\tWe will use this to find the status of our order.\n\t\t\t\"Limit\" : Your Limit Rate\n\t\t\t\"CommissionPaid\" : Comission of Bittrex which is 0.25%\n\t\t\t\"Price\" : The total price at which the order got fullfilled for. \n\t\t\t\"PricePerUnit\" : Price per unit at which the order got fullfilled for\n\t\t\t\"Opened\" : timestamp when bittrex placed your order\n\t\t\t\"Closed\" : timestamp when bittrex completed your order\n\t\t\t\"CancelInitiated\" : true if you cancelled the order but it has \n\t\t\tnot been cancelled yet. The process is taking place.\n\t\t\t\"ImmediateOrCancel\" : Bittrex uses these flags and following ones\n\t\t\t when you place using Bittrex dashboard.  \n\t\t\t\"IsConditional\" : false,\n\t\t\t\"Condition\" : null,\n\t\t\t\"ConditionTarget\" : null\n\t\t}\n\t]\n}\n```\n\n\nSo we can use this endpoint with QuantityRemaining key to check the status of the order and to find how much of the order got fullfilled. We will learn more on that later when we design the bot.\n\n\n### Authentication\n\nThis is specific to Bittrex. With an account on Bittrex you can create multiple API keys which can set to have different permissions. You will need API Key and API secret to make authenticated requests.\n\nTo make an authenticated request, like for market APIs in Bittrex, apikey and nonce are appended to the url. Nonce is the current Unix timestamp. It is in seconds. e.g. Get Open orders request will become   \n**/market/getopenorders?apikey=xxxxxxxx&nonce=yyyyyyyyy** \n\nWhen making this request, you also calculate HMAC hash of request url (containing nonce and key) and API secret and include it in the request under apisign header.\n\nA nice way is to make a function to which you can pass the a url append nonce and apikey inside the function and make a request with the hash.\n\n```\nfunction BittrexAuthRequest($url){\n\t$apikey='xxx';\n\t$apisecret='xxx';\n\t$nonce=time();\n\t$uri=$url.'&apikey='.$apikey.'&nonce='.$nonce; //appending apikey and nonce\n\t$sign=hash_hmac('sha512',$uri,$apisecret); //calculating hmac hash\n\t$ch = curl_init($uri);\n\tcurl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('apisign:'.$sign)); //adding hash to the apisign\n\t$execResult = curl_exec($ch);\n\t$obj = json_decode($execResult);\n\treturn $obj;\n}\n```\nSome of you might be new to headers so I am including examples in other languages  \n[Python](https://github.com/ndri/python-bittrex/blob/master/bittrex.py) : Look at line 33  \n[Javascript](https://github.com/n0mad01/node.bittrex.api/blob/master/node.bittrex.api.js) : Check at line 81. Also note inclusion of external file at line 15 for calculating hmac.\n\n```\nTask (for beginners): Signup on Bittrex and create an API key. \nCode in the BittrexAuthRequest function in your own \nlanguage and place a BUY order for 0.00000001 BCC at current Ask. \nUse Ticker to find the Ask. If you code it right, then the order will\nfail (because it is less than 50k Satoshis) and  response message\nwill be either 'Insufficient Funds' or DUST\\_TRADE\\_DISALLOWED\\_MIN\\_VALUE\\_50K\\_SAT\n```\n\n---------------\n\n---------------\n\nPart 2 coming soon.
