Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when you want to configure a Binance Spot or Futures grid strategy and are prepared to manage the Python setup, exchange API credentials and strategy parameters.
Who it is for
- Python users who want to configure price-grid strategies for Binance Spot or Futures.
- Traders prepared to supply Binance API credentials and set strategy bounds, grid count, order quantity and open-order limits.
Documented uses
- Set up the Python application and its required libraries.
- Choose Spot or Futures and connect the corresponding Binance API credentials.
- Define a grid using price limits, grid count, order size and open-order limits.
- Use the windowed application or a market-specific script without the interface.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and identifies an MIT license. Its README documents Python 3.7 and dependency installation from requirements.txt.
- Spot and Futures use different scripts and symbol casing: lowercase symbols for Spot and uppercase for Futures, according to the README.
- Both market types require API credentials and confirmation of the exchange connection before starting a strategy.
- Futures configuration distinguishes USDT- or BUSD-settled contracts from coin-settled contracts.
- Grid settings include upper and lower price limits, grid count, order quantity and maximum open orders; Spot also requires an investment currency.
- The README says API credentials and configuration are saved in project-directory files.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Set up the Python application
Create the documented Python environment, install project dependencies and open the application.
Before you start
- Download or clone the project code.
- Conda and Python 3.7.
- The project’s requirements.txt file.
Steps
Create an environment with Python 3.7 using conda create -n trader python==3.7.
Activate it with conda activate trader.
Install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt.
Run python main.py to open the windowed interface; use the project interpreter setting if needed in PyCharm.
Expected outcome
The README describes a windowed application launched with main.py. It also names main_futures_script.py and main_spot_script.py for running without the interface.
Guide limitations
- The guide covers documented setup and launch instructions, not a verified execution or trading outcome.
- A Binance API connection and strategy configuration are separate steps required before running a grid strategy.
