"Building a Crypto Trading Bot from Scratch with Python - Help Needed!"

[Maks_esk]

"Hey guys, I'm trying to build a crypto trading bot from scratch using Python and I'm stuck at the very beginning. I've got a solid understanding of the basics, but I'm having trouble deciding on a library to use (Zipline, Backtrader, or something else?). Would love to hear from more experienced devs who've tackled this before - any advice or suggestions would be super helpful!"

"Just read through your post and I think you're on the right track. Have you looked into the ccxt library for Python? It's pretty robust and can hook you up with APIs from various exchanges."

"Hey OP, I'm familiar with building bots in Python, what kind of strategy and exchange are you planning on implementing? Also, are you using a framework like Zipline or just going with the basics?"

"Hey, I've been experimenting with Binance's API and Python. I think I can help with the data fetching and WebSocket connections. Maybe we can start with that and work our way up?"
