Practical overview
When it fits
Consider it when you need configurable exchange-trading automation and can manage a repository-based Node.js installation. Check the intended exchange module first, especially for integrations identified as unofficial.
Who it is for
- Crypto traders who want to configure automated exchange orders using a self-hosted application.
- Developers or operators comfortable installing a Node.js project and setting environment variables.
Documented uses
- Connect the bot to an exchange using API credentials and a selected exchange module.
- Set trading currencies, deposit limits, order sizes and allowed price ranges.
- Configure Telegram management and notifications, or disable Telegram through its documented setting.
- Explore demo mode for unofficial exchange modules, which the README says does not require a license.
Requirements & limits
The README provides repository installation instructions rather than confirming a hosted service; it also states that the app is working with server maintenance.
- The README lists Poloniex, Exmo, Bitfinex, Liqui and DSX, and marks Binance, CEX.IO and other integrations as unofficial.
- Unofficial modules are described as separately obtained from third-party developers; demo operation is stated not to require a license.
- The documented setup requires exchange API key and secret settings, plus an exchange selection and trading-currency values.
- Telegram is enabled by default according to the documented settings; TELEGRAM_OFF disables Telegram management and notifications.
- The repository’s install instructions use Node.js, Git and npm; technical intelligence also identifies Docker as a platform.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Prepare a local GBot Trader installation
Install the repository dependencies and identify the core settings needed for an exchange connection.
Before you start
- Node.js
- A copy of the GBot Trader repository
- An exchange API key and secret
- Exchange selection and trading currency values
Steps
Install Node.js.
Clone the repository and enter its directory: the command below then
cd gbot-trader.git clone https://github.com/steeply/gbot-trader.gitInstall dependencies with the command below.
npm iPrepare the documented environment settings:
KEY,SECRET,EXCHANGE,NAME_COINandNAME_COIN_TWO.
Expected outcome
The repository dependencies are installed and the core exchange and trading-pair settings are identified for configuration.
Guide limitations
- The README reports that the app is working with server maintenance.
- Exchange support and unofficial-module availability should be confirmed for the intended setup.
