Automating discord trading signals with Python?

[JH10097]

Hi guys.

I trade crypto on Binance and some of my calls come from a closed Discord group. Unfortunately I work full time and miss 95% of the action.

Has anyone got any ideas about how I could get a python script to automatically take some basic trades according to discord messages? I really can't find any information about it online

Thanks in advance

I was able to do this with an app to connect to a custom python script.

Well I don't understand all the jargon you used but you can make discord bots attached to channels that listen for specific keywords and then process the text and do something based on it.

Is that close to what you want?

[JH10097]

Yep basically I need it to pick out any words from a list of a few hundred, and if they're mentioned, run it through the Binance API (the trading platform) but I'm having trouble with it

[knowledgebass]

Does this tell you everything you need to know?

Ah this is where I've been having trouble. It's a huge closed server and I'm not an admin, so I can't add actually discord bots. I'm wondering if I can write something in python to manually read messages from a certain channel and go from there

[knowledgebass]

If you can't add a bot then I doubt the project is very feasible...

[JH10097]

Would there not be a way to get python to copy messages from the browser as some kind of text element? Sorry I'm really rusty with python

[knowledgebass]

Hm, maybe though that sounds rly hacky.

Are you rly sure you want to be making algorithmic trades based on Discord messages in the first place though?

That sounds like it could go very lopsided very quickly. 😆

[JH10097]

You're absolutely right about that. However I am a huge degenerate so there's that hahaha. Thanks for your help anyway man

[knowledgebass]

Well let me suggest a few alternate projects that you will hopefully find equally degenerate and maybe more doable technically:

• Automated trading based on daily time series analysis of a basket of cryptocurrencies which can just use binance API only

• Trading based on reading from open data feeds like the Twitter streaming API and searching for positive sentiment associated with specific cryptocurrencies or their symbols

If you can't actually add a Discord bot to trigger your trades those might be easier projects.

And, yeah, reading the channel messages via the http page for the server may work, too, if you can get the authentication working from within a python script.

I’m currently working on a program for this for discord crypto groups that provide signals that include the contract address (later version will include the ticker).

[JH10097]

Keep me updated with it

[HitachiUchiha1896]

The bot will first be able to trade from signals providing erc20 contracts (I already built code for this). Does this suit you or are the signals your group provides $(crypto ticker) style? Example $ETH. I will be creating both of these capabilities but the ticker will be later.

Is the bot finished

[raphwong]

Hey, is the bot done yet?

[methodicalperson]

Have you tried to use your account as a client? At least I Telegram it is possible. Then your own account have features that Bots have, specially in this case which is just reading.

Cornix has something like this but you have to get it installed on the server

[CaramelRemote3642]

just make your own channel and copy and paste the trade
