  "exchange": "binance",
  "api_key": "",
  "api_secret": "",
  "testnet": false,
  "leverage": 10,
  "max_position_pct": 5.0,
  "trailing_stop_pct": 1.5,
  "signal_source": "telegram",
  "telegram_bot_token": "",
  "telegram_channel_id": "-100XXXXXXXXXX",
  "tradingview_webhook_port": 8080,
  "strategies": {
    "ema_crossover":     {"enabled": true,  "fast": 9,  "slow": 21},
    "rsi_divergence":    {"enabled": true,  "period": 14, "overbought": 70, "oversold": 30},

```

### Environment Variables (preferred for secrets)

```bash
export BINANCE_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
export BINANCE_API_SECRET="your_api_secret_here"
export BYBIT_API_KEY="your_bybit_key"
export BYBIT_API_SECRET="your_bybit_secret"
export OKX_API_KEY="your_okx_key"
export OKX_API_SECRET="your_okx_secret"
export OKX_PASSPHRASE="your_okx_passphrase"
export TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN="your_telegram_bot_token"
```

Never commit `config.json` with real keys — it is `.gitignore`d by default.

import os
import json

config = {
    "exchange": "binance",
    "api_key": os.environ.get("BINANCE_API_KEY"),
    "api_secret": os.environ.get("BINANCE_API_SECRET"),
    "testnet": True,   # always test first
    "leverage": 5,
    "pairs": ["BTCUSDT", "ETHUSDT"]
}

with open("config.json", "w") as f:
    json.dump(config, f, indent=2)
```

  "api_key": "",
  "api_secret": "",
  "okx_passphrase": "",
  "leverage": 5,
  "pairs": ["BTC-USDT-SWAP", "ETH-USDT-SWAP"]
}
```

## Signal Sources

### 1. Telegram Channel

```python
# Setup steps:
# 1. Create bot at https://t.me/BotFather → get token
# 2. Add bot to signal channel as admin
# 3. Get channel ID (negative number starting with -100)

config_snippet = {
    "signal_source": "telegram",
    "telegram_bot_token": os.environ.get("TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN"),
    "telegram_channel_id": "-1001234567890"
}
```

### 2. TradingView Webhook

```json
{
  "signal_source": "tradingview",
  "tradingview_webhook_port": 8080
}
```

TradingView alert message format (JSON):

```json
{
  "symbol": "BTCUSDT",
  "side": "BUY",
  "leverage": 10,
  "price": "{{close}}",
  "strategy": "ema_crossover"
}
```

Point your TradingView alert webhook URL to:
```
http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8080/webhook
```

### 3. Custom API Signal Source

```json
{
  "signal_source": "api",
  "custom_api_url": "https://your-signal-provider.com/signals",
  "custom_api_key": ""
}
```

---

## Strategies

### EMA Crossover

```json
{
  "ema_crossover": {
    "enabled": true,
    "fast": 9,
    "slow": 21
  }
}
```

- **LONG**: fast EMA crosses above slow EMA
- **SHORT**: fast EMA crosses below slow EMA
- Best timeframes: 15m, 1h, 4h

### RSI Divergence

```json
{
  "rsi_divergence": {
    "enabled": true,
    "period": 14,
    "overbought": 70,
    "oversold": 30
  }
}
```

- **Bullish**: price lower lows + RSI higher lows → LONG
- **Bearish**: price higher highs + RSI lower highs → SHORT

### Bollinger Band Breakout

```json
{
  "bollinger_breakout": {
    "enabled": true,
    "period": 20,
    "std_dev": 2.0
  }
}
```

- **LONG**: close above upper band
- **SHORT**: close below lower band

### MACD Momentum

```json
{
  "macd_momentum": {
    "enabled": true,
    "fast": 12,
    "slow": 26,
    "signal": 9
  }
}
```

- Trades histogram crossovers with signal line confirmation
- Zero-line acts as trend filter

### Running Multiple Strategies

All enabled strategies run per candle. The bot takes the **highest-confidence signal** and filters conflicts:

```json
{
  "strategies": {
    "ema_crossover":      {"enabled": true,  "fast": 9,  "slow": 21},
    "rsi_divergence":     {"enabled": true,  "period": 14},
    "bollinger_breakout": {"enabled": false},
    "macd_momentum":      {"enabled": true}
  }
}
```

---

## Risk Management

```json
{
  "leverage": 10,
  "max_position_pct": 5.0,
  "trailing_stop_pct": 1.5,
  "risk_management": {
    "max_open_positions": 5,
    "max_daily_loss_pct": 3.0,
    "stop_loss_pct": 2.0,
    "take_profit_pct": 4.0
  }
}
```

| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| `leverage` | 1x–125x (start with 2–5x) |
| `max_position_pct` | % of account balance per trade |
| `trailing_stop_pct` | Trailing SL activates after price moves this % in profit |
| `max_open_positions` | Hard cap on concurrent open trades |
| `max_daily_loss_pct` | Bot halts trading if daily loss exceeds this |
| `stop_loss_pct` | Fixed stop-loss distance from entry |
| `take_profit_pct` | Fixed take-profit distance from entry |

**Trailing stop-loss behavior:** Once position is in profit by `trailing_stop_pct`, the stop follows the peak price. Position closes automatically on reversal of that distance.

## Testnet Mode

Always validate on testnet before live trading:

```json
{
  "testnet": true,
  "exchange": "binance"
}
```

Binance testnet: https://testnet.binancefuture.com  
Bybit testnet: https://testnet.bybit.com

## Common Patterns

### Load Config Programmatically

```python
import json
import os

def load_config(path="config.json"):
    with open(path) as f:
        cfg = json.load(f)
    # Override with env vars if set
    cfg["api_key"]    = os.environ.get("BINANCE_API_KEY", cfg.get("api_key", ""))
    cfg["api_secret"] = os.environ.get("BINANCE_API_SECRET", cfg.get("api_secret", ""))
    return cfg

config = load_config()
```

### Minimal Safe Config for Testing

```python
import json

safe_config = {
    "exchange": "binance",
    "api_key": "",       # set via env var BINANCE_API_KEY
    "api_secret": "",    # set via env var BINANCE_API_SECRET
    "testnet": True,
    "leverage": 2,
    "max_position_pct": 1.0,
    "signal_source": "telegram",
    "telegram_bot_token": "",   # set via env var TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN
    "telegram_channel_id": "",
    "strategies": {
        "ema_crossover": {"enabled": True, "fast": 9, "slow": 21},
        "rsi_divergence": {"enabled": False},
        "bollinger_breakout": {"enabled": False},
        "macd_momentum": {"enabled": False}
    },
    "pairs": ["BTCUSDT"],
    "risk_management": {
        "max_open_positions": 1,
        "max_daily_loss_pct": 1.0,
        "stop_loss_pct": 1.5,
        "take_profit_pct": 3.0
    }
}

with open("config.json", "w") as f:
    json.dump(safe_config, f, indent=2)
```

### Verify Installation

```python
# Quick dependency check
required = ["rich", "binance", "ccxt", "pandas", "ta", "websockets", "cryptography"]
import importlib

for pkg in required:
    try:
        importlib.import_module(pkg)
        print(f"✓ {pkg}")
    except ImportError:
        print(f"✗ {pkg} — run: pip install {pkg}")
```

---

## Troubleshooting

### Bot won't connect to exchange

```bash
# Check API key permissions — must have:
# Binance: Enable Futures, Enable Reading, Enable Spot & Margin Trading
# Bybit:   Unified Trading, Read/Write
# OKX:     Trade, Read

# Test connectivity
python -c "
import ccxt, os
exchange = ccxt.binance({
    'apiKey': os.environ['BINANCE_API_KEY'],
    'secret': os.environ['BINANCE_API_SECRET'],
    'options': {'defaultType': 'future'}
})
print(exchange.fetch_balance())
"
```

### Telegram signals not received

1. Confirm bot is **admin** in the channel
2. Verify `telegram_channel_id` starts with `-100`
3. Send a test message to the channel after adding the bot
4. Check bot token with: `https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/getMe`

### TradingView webhook not triggering

```bash
# Ensure port 8080 is open and accessible
# Check firewall rules
sudo ufw allow 8080/tcp

# Test webhook endpoint locally
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/webhook \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"symbol":"BTCUSDT","side":"BUY","leverage":5}'
```

### Leverage rejected by exchange

- Binance max leverage varies per symbol (BTC: 125x, altcoins: lower)
- Bybit requires setting leverage per symbol before trading
- Start with `"leverage": 5` and increase carefully

### ImportError on startup

```bash
pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt
# or individually:
pip install rich>=13.0.0 python-binance>=1.0.19 ccxt>=4.2.0 pandas>=2.1.0 ta>=0.10.2 websockets>=12.0 cryptography
```

### Position not closing at stop-loss

- Ensure `stop_loss_pct` is set in `risk_management`
- Trailing stop only activates after initial profit threshold (`trailing_stop_pct`)
- Check exchange order type support — some altcoin pairs have restrictions

---

## Safety Checklist

- [ ] Always run `"testnet": true` first
- [ ] Start with `"leverage": 2` or `3`
- [ ] Set `max_daily_loss_pct` ≤ 3.0
- [ ] Keep `max_open_positions` ≤ 3 initially
- [ ] Never commit `config.json` with real API keys
- [ ] Use environment variables for all secrets
- [ ] Keep API key IP-restricted on exchange side
- [ ] Enable only one strategy initially; add more after validation
