Binance Trade Bot

Features

Auto Trade — Automatically detects market tendency and switches between bull/bear strategies per operation; supports forced strategy mode to wait for a matching tendency
Bull Trade — Buy-low-sell-high strategy for uptrending markets
Bear Trade — Sell-high-buy-low strategy for downtrending markets
Scalp Mode — High-frequency micro-trading using a scoring-based entry system; no longer requires all signals simultaneously
Top Gainers Monitor — Real-time TUI dashboard of the top 24h movers on Binance
Rotation Scout Mode — Scans a configured asset basket and rotates through a bridge asset when relative ratios become fee-adjusted opportunities
Backtesting — Runs registered strategy simulations over recent Binance candles before live trading
Managed Orders — Optional buy/sell timeouts with partial-fill handling; unfilled entries return to scanning instead of advancing to exit monitoring
Pre-Order Balance Checks — Reads Binance spot account balances before placing orders and blocks buys/sells that exceed available free funds
Persistent History API — Stores trade/scout history in JSONL and serves it through a small local HTTP API
AI Multi-Agent System — Concurrent analysis from OpenAI, DeepSeek, and Claude with weighted consensus; when enabled, entries require explicit AI approval at the configured confidence threshold
Sentiment Analysis — Real-time news headlines and Fear & Greed Index integrated into AI decisions
Trailing Stop-Loss — Dynamically locks in profits as price moves favorably
Advanced Indicators — RSI, MACD, DEMA, Bollinger Bands, ADX, ATR, and volume confirmation
Full OHLCV Analysis — Uses complete candlestick data instead of close-only prices
Auto-Notional Adjustment — Automatically raises order quantity to meet Binance's minimum notional filter
Config Validation — Checks the YAML config file before starting a trading session
Detailed Order Reasoning — Activity Log shows which entry/exit conditions were met (✓/✗) before each trade
File Logging — All trade events and errors are written to binance-bot.log alongside the TUI display
Fee-Aware Targets — Take-profit thresholds can be adjusted by live Binance taker fees plus a configurable safety buffer

Usage

[!WARNING] This bot is provided as-is. Use it at your own risk. Trading involves financial risks, and you may incur significant losses. Always test in a safe environment (e.g., a testnet and/or with small amounts) before deploying in live markets. The author is not responsible for any financial outcomes.

Prerequisites

Before using the Binance Trade Bot, you need to configure your environment with the Binance API client credentials. These credentials allow the bot to interact securely with your Binance account. Follow these steps to set up:

Obtain your Binance API Key and Secret
- Log in to your Binance account.
- Navigate to the API Management section.
- Create a new API key, choosing HMAC type and providing any label (e.g., CLI_Bot).
- Save the API Key and Secret Key securely. You will not be able to view the secret again after closing the page.
Set Environment Variables Export the API credentials as environment variables in your terminal before executing the binance-bot cli:
```
export BINANCE_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
export BINANCE_SECRET_KEY=<your-secret-key>
```
Set AI Provider API Keys (optional) To enable the AI multi-agent system, export one or more of the following API keys. The system works with any combination — you can use 1, 2, or all 3 providers:
```
export OPENAI_API_KEY=<your-openai-api-key>
export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=<your-deepseek-api-key>
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=<your-anthropic-api-key>
```
Variable Provider Default Model

OPENAI_API_KEY OpenAI gpt-4o-mini

DEEPSEEK_API_KEY DeepSeek deepseek-chat

ANTHROPIC_API_KEY Claude claude-3-5-haiku-20241022

If no AI keys are set, the bot runs entirely on technical indicators — AI is fully optional.
Create a config file You can specify a custom configuration file to adjust the bot's parameters of trading indicators.
See the sample configuration file.

Now you're ready to use the Binance Trade Bot! 🎉

Run the Bot

Auto Trade (automatic tendency detection)

binance-bot -f binance-config.yml auto-trade -t "BTC/USDT" -a 0.001 -sl 2.0 -tp 2.5 -b 0.9998 -s 1.0003 -rp 2 -ra 5

This example:

Automatically detects whether BTC/USDT is trending up or down before each operation.
Enters bull mode (buy low, sell high) when tendency is "up", or bear mode (sell high, buy back low) when tendency is "down".
Re-detects tendency between every operation, adapting to changing market conditions.
If tendency flips during entry scanning, the bot dynamically switches mode without waiting.
The TUI header shows the currently active mode (BULL/BEAR) updated in real-time.

Auto Trade with forced strategy

binance-bot -f binance-config.yml auto-trade -t "DOGE/USDT" -a 100 -sl 2.0 -tp 2.5 -b 0.9998 -s 1.0003 -rp 6 -ra 0 --strategy bull

This example:

Forces the bot to only enter bull (buy-first) operations — useful when your account only holds USDT.
The bot monitors the market and waits for an "up" tendency before placing any orders.
If tendency flips away during scanning, the bot returns to waiting instead of switching to bear.
Use --strategy bear to force sell-first operations (when you hold the base coin and want to sell first).
Use --strategy auto (default) for fully automatic tendency detection.

Bull Trade (uptrending markets)

binance-bot -f binance-config.yml bull-trade -t "XRP/USDT" -a 50 -sl 1.5 -tp 2.0 -b 0.9998 -s 1.0003 -rp 4 -ra 0

This example:

Trades the pair XRP/USDT with an amount of 50.
Sets a stop-loss of 1.5% and a take-profit of 2%.
Adjusts buy and sell factors for the LIMIT order target price.
Rounds the price to 4 decimals and the amount to 0 decimals.

Bear Trade (downtrending markets)

binance-bot -f binance-config.yml bear-trade -t "BTC/USDT" -a 0.001 -sl 2.0 -tp 3.0 -b 0.9998 -s 1.0003 -rp 2 -ra 5

This example:

Sells 0.001 BTC when bearish signals are detected.
Sets a stop-loss of 2% (price rises above entry) and take-profit of 3% (price drops below entry).
Buys back at a lower price to capture the difference as profit.

Scalp Mode (high-frequency micro-trading)

binance-bot -f sample-scalp-config.yml bull-trade -t "PEPE/USDT" -a 50 --sl 0.6 --tp 1.0 -b 0.9999 -s 1.0001 -rp 8 -ra 0 -o 500

This example:

Uses 1-minute candles and a scoring-based entry (any 3 of 6 signals bullish).
Sets tight stop-loss / take-profit suitable for volatile low-cap tokens.
Runs up to 500 operations with only 10s between completed operations.
See sample-scalp-config.yml for the full config.

Top Gainers Monitor

binance-bot -f binance-config.yml top-gainers

Launches a real-time TUI listing the top 24h price-change gainers on Binance, filtered by quote asset, minimum volume, and an exclude list. Refreshes on the configured poll-interval. Press q to quit.

Rotation Scout Mode

binance-bot -f binance-config.yml rotate-trade

Scans the configured rotation.supported-assets basket against rotation.bridge-asset and records every scout comparison to .binance-bot/scouts.jsonl. When a relative-ratio opportunity beats fee-adjusted thresholds, the bot rotates from the current asset into the selected asset through the bridge. The sample config runs this mode as dry-run: true; switch it off only after validating behavior with small balances.

Backtest

binance-bot -f binance-config.yml backtest -t "BTC/USDT" --strategy classic-bull

Runs a registered strategy over recent Binance candles using the configured indicators, starting balance, and fee assumptions. Available strategies are classic-bull and scalp-bull.

History API

binance-bot -f binance-config.yml serve

Starts a local HTTP server using api.address. Endpoints include /api/health, /api/trades, /api/scouts, /api/values, and /api/current-asset. Use ?limit=100 on history endpoints to read only the most recent records.

Validate Configuration

binance-bot -f binance-config.yml validate-config

Reads the YAML configuration, validates required ranges and enum-like values, and exits without starting a trading session. Valid configs print Config OK; invalid configs print every issue found so you can fix them in one pass.

Modify these parameters based on your specific trading requirements.

Key	Action
`q` / `Ctrl+C`	Quit the application
`h`	Toggle the help / keyboard shortcuts popup
`c`	Show loaded configuration popup
`Esc`	Close any open popup

Configuration

The bot is configured through a YAML file. See sample-binance-config.yml for a complete example.

Base URL Configuration

You can override the Binance API base URL to use alternative endpoints such as the testnet:

base-url: "https://testnet.binance.vision"

If omitted or empty, the default https://api1.binance.com (production) is used.

Environment	URL
Production (default)	`https://api1.binance.com`
Testnet	`https://testnet.binance.vision`

Config Validation

Run validate-config before trading to catch malformed or risky configuration values:

binance-bot -f binance-config.yml validate-config

The command checks fields such as Binance candle intervals, RSI limit ordering, MACD length ordering, confidence ranges, positive refresh and polling intervals, and top-gainers settings. It reports all validation failures at once and does not call Binance or any AI provider.

Persistence, Fees, and Orders

data-dir: ".binance-bot"

order-management:
  buy-timeout-minutes: 20
  sell-timeout-minutes: 20
  partial-fill-action: "keep"
  poll-interval-secs: 5

fees:
  enabled: true
  default-taker-pct: 0.1
  buffer-pct: 0.05

The bot writes trade/scout history to data-dir. Managed order timeouts cancel stale limit orders; partial-fill-action: "reverse" attempts a market order in the opposite direction for partial timeout fills. Before any limit or market order is submitted, the bot queries Binance spot account balances and verifies that the required base or quote asset is available as free balance. Fee-aware mode subtracts estimated round-trip taker fees and buffer-pct from take-profit decisions.

Indicators Configuration

historical-prices:
  period: 100           # number of candlesticks to fetch
  interval: "1m"        # candlestick interval (1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 1h, etc.)

tendency:
  interval: "3m"        # interval for tendency calculation
  direction: "up"       # expected direction for bull-trade

indicators:
  rsi:
    interval: "5m"
    length: 14
    upper-limit: 70     # overbought threshold
    middle-limit: 50
    lower-limit: 30     # oversold threshold
  dema:
    length: 9
  macd:
    fast-length: 12
    slow-length: 26
    signal-length: 9
  bollinger-bands:
    length: 20
    multiplier: 2.0
  atr:
    period: 14          # Average True Range for volatility
  adx:
    period: 14
    threshold: 25       # minimum ADX value to confirm trend strength
  volume:
    ma-period: 20       # volume moving average period

Trailing Stop Configuration

The trailing stop-loss dynamically adjusts to lock in profits as the price moves favorably:

trailing-stop:
  enabled: true
  activation-pct: 1.5  # activate after price moves 1.5% in your favor
  trailing-pct: 1.0    # trail by 1.0% from the peak/trough

For bull trades: once the price rises by activation-pct above buy price, the stop tracks from the highest price and triggers if the price drops trailing-pct from that peak.
For bear trades: once the price drops by activation-pct below sell price, the stop tracks from the lowest price and triggers if the price rises trailing-pct from that trough.

Scalp Mode Configuration

Scalp mode is optimized for high-frequency micro-trading on volatile tickers. Instead of requiring all 6 entry signals simultaneously, it scores each signal and enters when min-score are bullish.

scalp-mode:
  enabled: true
  min-score: 3           # minimum bullish signals out of 6 to trigger entry
  post-buy-delay: 5      # seconds to wait after fill before exit monitoring
  inter-op-delay: 10     # seconds to wait between completed operations
  require-rsi-exit: false # require RSI momentum confirmation before take-profit

Scoring signals (6 total):

#	Signal	Bullish condition
1	RSI	Below upper limit
2	MACD	MACD line above signal line
3	Tendency	Matches configured direction
4	Bollinger	DEMA closer to lower band than upper band
5	ADX	Above configured threshold
6	Volume	Current volume above its moving average

With min-score: 3 the bot enters if any 3 of 6 signals are bullish. Raise to 4 or 5 for more selective, lower-frequency entries.

See sample-scalp-config.yml for a complete high-frequency configuration tuned for 1-minute candles.

Recommended stop-loss / take-profit for scalping (after 0.2% round-trip fees):

Scenario	`--sl`	`--tp`	Net gain/loss
Ultra-tight	`0.4`	`0.7`	+0.5% / -0.4%
Balanced ✓	`0.6`	`1.0`	+0.8% / -0.6%
Conservative	`1.0`	`1.8`	+1.6% / -1.0%

Top Gainers Configuration

top-gainers:
  quote-asset: "USDT"      # filter pairs ending with this asset
  limit: 20                # number of top gainers to display
  poll-interval: 60        # seconds between each refresh
  min-volume: 1000000      # minimum 24h quote volume to include
  exclude-symbols:         # symbols to always exclude
    - "USDCUSDT"

Rotation, Backtest, and API Configuration

rotation:
  bridge-asset: "USDT"
  current-asset: "BTC"
  supported-assets: ["BTC", "ETH", "SOL", "XRP", "DOGE"]
  scout-multiplier: 5
  scout-margin-pct: 0.8
  use-margin: false
  scout-sleep-seconds: 5
  dry-run: true
  max-jumps: 0
  min-notional-buffer: 1.01

backtest:
  initial-balance: 1000
  fee-pct: 0.1

api:
  address: "127.0.0.1:8080"

Rotation mode persists its current asset in data-dir/current_asset.json. Backtests use recent Binance candles and append simulated trade records. The API server exposes persisted JSONL history from the configured address.

AI Configuration

The AI multi-agent system is optional. When enabled, it queries multiple LLM providers concurrently with technical indicators and market sentiment data to produce a consensus trading signal.

ai:
  enabled: true
  providers:
    openai:
      model: "gpt-4o-mini"
    deepseek:
      model: "deepseek-chat"
    claude:
      model: "claude-3-5-haiku-20241022"
  min-confidence: 0.5   # minimum consensus confidence to act (0.0 - 1.0)

How it works:

Each configured provider receives a structured prompt with all technical indicators plus real-time sentiment data.
Providers are queried concurrently for speed.
Each agent returns a signal (BUY, SELL, or HOLD), a confidence score (0.0-1.0), and reasoning.
A weighted consensus algorithm aggregates all votes to produce a final decision.
The AI must approve (or at least not contradict) technical signals before trades are executed.

Sentiment sources (free, no API key required):

CryptoCompare — latest news headlines for the traded coin
Alternative.me Fear & Greed Index — overall crypto market mood

Set ai.enabled: false or omit all provider API keys to disable AI and run on technical indicators only. This is recommended for low-latency scalp configurations unless you intentionally want slower AI-gated entries.

File Logging

All log levels (orders, info, errors) are automatically written to binance-bot.log in the working directory, alongside the TUI display. Color tags are stripped before writing. The file is opened in append mode so logs accumulate across sessions.

2026-04-07 12:35:10 [INFO]    ✓ RSI exit ok (RSI declining=true, scalp bypass=false)

Auto-Notional Adjustment

Binance enforces a minimum notional value (price × quantity) per symbol — typically 5 USDT. If the configured --amount would produce a notional below this threshold (common with very cheap tokens like PEPE or SHIB), the bot automatically raises the quantity to meet the exchange's NOTIONAL and LOT_SIZE filters before placing the order. A message is logged when an adjustment occurs:

BUY qty adjusted from 50.00000000 to 405210.00000000 to meet exchange filters (minNotional=5.00)

No manual intervention is required — the adjustment is transparent and logged. After any adjustment, the bot checks the relevant account balance before submitting the order.

Trading Strategy Logic

Bull-Trade

The bull-trade command is designed to operate during bull market trends, leveraging upward momentum to execute profitable trades.

Buy Conditions

In classic mode, the bot places a buy order when all of the following conditions are true simultaneously. In scalp mode, the conditions are scored and entry triggers when min-score out of 6 are bullish (see Scalp Mode Configuration).

RSI: Value is below the configured upper-limit (default 70), indicating the market is not overbought.
MACD Crossover: The MACD line crosses above the Signal line (classic) or is above the Signal line (scalp), suggesting upward momentum.
Tendency Confirmation: The trend direction matches the configured direction (DEMA above EMA = "up").
DEMA Proximity to Bollinger Bands: The current DEMA is closer to the Lower Band than the Upper Band, suggesting a potential reversal from oversold conditions.
ADX Trend Strength (if configured): ADX is above the threshold (default 25), confirming a strong trend.
Volume Confirmation (if configured): Current volume exceeds its moving average, avoiding false breakouts.
AI Consensus (if enabled): The multi-agent system must explicitly approve the entry at or above ai.min-confidence.

Before submitting the buy order, the bot verifies that the account has enough free quote-asset balance, such as USDT for XRP/USDT.

Sell Conditions

The bot will exit a position through one of three mechanisms:

Trailing Stop-Loss (if enabled): After the price rises by activation-pct above buy price, the stop trails from the highest price. Triggers when price drops by trailing-pct from the peak.
Fixed Stop-Loss: The price drops to the stop-loss percentage below buy price. Executes immediately (no AI delay on protective exits).
Take Profit: The price reaches the take-profit percentage AND RSI is declining (skipped in scalp mode when require-rsi-exit: false) AND the AI supports the exit (if enabled).

Before submitting an exit sell order, the bot verifies that the account has enough free base-asset balance for the quantity being sold.

Bear-Trade

The bear-trade command is designed to operate during bear market trends, profiting from downward price movement by selling high and buying back low.

Sell Entry Conditions

In classic mode, all conditions must be met simultaneously. In scalp mode, min-score out of 6 signals must be bearish.

The bot will open a short position (sell) when:

RSI: Value is above the configured lower-limit (default 30), indicating the market is not oversold.
MACD Crossover: The MACD line crosses below the Signal line, suggesting downward momentum.
Tendency: The trend direction is "down" (DEMA below EMA).
DEMA Proximity to Bollinger Bands: The current DEMA is closer to the Upper Band than the Lower Band, suggesting a potential reversal from overbought conditions.
ADX Trend Strength (if configured): ADX confirms the trend has strength.
Volume Confirmation (if configured): Current volume exceeds its moving average.
AI Consensus (if enabled): The multi-agent system must explicitly approve the entry at or above ai.min-confidence.

Before submitting the sell entry, the bot verifies that the account has enough free base-asset balance, such as BTC for BTC/USDT.

Buy-Back Exit Conditions

The bot will exit the bear position (buy back) through one of three mechanisms:

Trailing Stop (if enabled): After the price drops by activation-pct below sell price, the stop trails from the lowest price. Triggers when price rises by trailing-pct from the trough.
Fixed Stop-Loss: The price rises to the stop-loss percentage above sell price. Executes immediately.
Take Profit: The price drops to the take-profit percentage AND RSI is rising (skipped in scalp mode when require-rsi-exit: false) AND the AI supports the exit (if enabled).

Before submitting a buy-back order, the bot verifies that the account has enough free quote-asset balance for the estimated cost.

Auto-Trade (Dynamic Tendency Detection)

The auto-trade command removes the need to manually choose between bull and bear strategies. Before each operation, the bot evaluates the current market tendency using the same DEMA-vs-EMA analysis used by the individual modes.

How It Works

Strategy Selection: The --strategy flag determines behavior:
- auto (default): Detects tendency automatically and trades in whichever direction the market is trending.
- bull: Forces buy-first operations — the bot waits until tendency is "up" before entering. Ideal when you only hold the quote asset (e.g., USDT).
- bear: Forces sell-first operations — the bot waits until tendency is "down" before entering. Ideal when you hold the base asset and want to sell first.
Tendency Detection: At the start of each operation, the bot fetches historical prices on the configured tendency.interval and compares DEMA to EMA. If DEMA > EMA the tendency is "up" (bull); otherwise "down" (bear).
Waiting for Match: When a strategy is forced (bull or bear), the bot continuously monitors tendency and only proceeds when it matches the required direction. The TUI shows the mode with "(waiting)" until tendency aligns.
Mode Selection: Based on the detected/matched tendency, the bot switches to the appropriate strategy — bull (buy low, sell high) or bear (sell high, buy back low).
Live Re-detection: During entry scanning in auto mode, if the tendency flips, the bot immediately adapts and switches to the opposite mode. In forced strategy mode, a tendency flip causes the bot to return to waiting.
Entry & Exit: Once a mode is selected, the exact same entry conditions (classic or scalp scoring) and exit mechanisms (trailing stop, stop-loss, take-profit, AI confirmation) apply as in the standalone bull-trade or bear-trade commands.
Per-Operation Adaptation: After each completed operation (entry + exit), the bot re-detects tendency before the next one.

TUI Display

The TUI header dynamically shows the current mode:

BULL (waiting) or BEAR (waiting) when a forced strategy is waiting for matching tendency
AUTO MODE in cyan at startup (when strategy is auto)
Switches to BULL MODE (green) or BEAR MODE (red) once tendency is detected/matched
Updates in real-time if tendency flips during scanning

Tip: The auto-trade command uses the same config file and flags as bull-trade / bear-trade. The tendency.direction config field is ignored — the bot determines direction automatically.

AI Multi-Agent Decision Flow

When AI is enabled, the decision flow operates as follows:

Technical Indicators ──┐
                       ├──> AI Agents (concurrent) ──> Weighted Consensus ──> Trade Decision
Sentiment Data ────────┘       │         │         │
                          OpenAI    DeepSeek    Claude

Entry signals: Technical conditions must pass first, then AI must explicitly approve with the matching signal (BUY for bull entry, SELL for bear entry) at or above ai.min-confidence. HOLD, low-confidence, malformed, or opposing AI output blocks new exposure.
Stop-loss / trailing-stop exits: Execute immediately without waiting for AI — safety first.
Take-profit exits: AI is allowed to block the exit only when it gives a confident opposite signal. HOLD and low-confidence output do not prevent taking profit once the technical exit checks pass.

[!NOTE] The AI consensus is considered alongside — not instead of — the technical indicators. Both must agree for a trade to execute. This dual-confirmation approach reduces false signals while preserving protective exits.
