This repo is a set of Python files to complement Webinars held by ProfitView in collaboration with BitMEX in 2023:

• How to Create Your First Trading Bot in 30 Minutes
• Getting Started with Trading Bots

Please feel free to sign-up to watch the webinars and recordings.

In order to make the most of it, you may want to create your own algos on the basis of what's here.

To do that you need to:

1. Get an account with BitMEX and transfer some funds to it ($100 or so will do to start with)
2. Sign-up to ProfitView
3. Choose a Plan - you will need at least 'Hobbyist'
4. Go to ProfitView's Exchanges settings and select exchange BitMEX.
5. Create BitMEX API Keys - choose Order Key Permissions.
6. Add your BitMEX API Keys in the ProfitView Connect Exchange popup

You can now copy the code from this repo into your Trading Signals editors. Code is in src. The code from the Webinar is in src/webinar1 and src/webinar2.

Make sure you understand what the code is doing before you run it

Make sure you agree with ProfitView's Terms of Service

Do also read the ProfitView Docs first.

Go to BitMEX Guilds and join Algo Academy. Join the Discord too.

Have a look at the collaboratively written algos that are emerging in the Algo Academy repo.
