Under active development and not recommended for real funds.

How it works

You run the app on your own server, connect it to your Binance account with an API key, and it watches the market and places buy and sell orders on your behalf. Once running, it repeats a short loop for every coin you told it to watch: read the market, run your strategy's rules, decide buy / sell / wait, and act.

• Strategy-pluggable. A strategy is the rulebook the bot trades by. Three ship today: trailing-trade, momentum, and rebalance, and you pick one per profile. Each lives in its own package behind a shared contract, so adding a fourth is mostly a new package plus a registry entry, not a rewrite of the trading loop.
• Account-scoped profiles. One operator login owns one or more Binance accounts. Each account is one API key pair, one environment (testnet or live), and one wallet. Each account runs N independent profiles, each with its own coins, budget, and strategy, all sharing that account's wallet.
• Reliability-first. Crash-only worker, idempotent jobs, and a version-aware per-symbol state commit mean a restart resumes cleanly and never double-places an order.

Persistence is Postgres + TimescaleDB; cache and queues are Redis + BullMQ. Schema lives in packages/db.

Act on a symbol

Every monitored symbol gets a workspace: live market data, the strategy's current signal, open orders, and manual overrides in one place.

Tune a strategy, then backtest it

Configure a strategy per profile, then replay it against historical candles before risking anything. Every run is kept, so you can compare windows and symbols side by side.

More screens are covered in the user guide.

Configuration

Per-profile configuration (grid, indicators, notifier providers, Technicals gates) lives in the database and is editable through the SPA after first run. See configure a profile.

Process-level environment variables (DATABASE_URL, REDIS_URL, WEB_ORIGIN, AUTH_SECRET, etc.) are listed in .env.example and described in the environment variable reference.

Quick start (development)

Prerequisites: Bun 1.3+ and Docker (with the compose plugin) for the local Postgres + Redis stack.

Run all commands from the repo root.

# 1. Install deps, write .env from .env.example, bring up Postgres + Redis
#    with host ports exposed (via the local compose override), and run
#    migrations.
bun install
bun run setup

# 2. Start api + web + worker + technicals via turbo
bun run dev

Open the SPA at http://localhost:5173.

To run the whole stack in containers instead, use bun run docker:dev. One app service (ROLE=all) serves the SPA + /api on http://localhost:53000.

Quick start (deploy to a VM)

The 9-step operator runbook lives at deploy/README.md. It covers .env, AUTH_SECRET, image pull, docker compose up, migrations, onboarding, IP-allowlisting the Binance key, smoke tests, and three TLS options.

Images are published to Docker Hub as chrisleekr/binance-trading-bot:vX.Y.Z. Pin a version with IMAGE_TAG rather than tracking :latest.

1. Read CONTRIBUTING.md for the workflow.
2. Read AGENTS.md for the engineering charter and the invariants (CLAUDE.md is a symlink alias for Claude Code).
3. bun run lint and bun run typecheck must be clean before opening a pull request.
