Copy-Trading bot for FTX

Configuration

The bot can be configured with multiple leaders and followers. Each follower can specify which leaders to follow.

Example config

FTX_URL = "https://ftx.com/api"

LEADERS = {
    'LEADER_A': {
        'API_KEY': '',  # TODO: INSERT API_KEY
        'API_SECRET': '',  # TODO: INSERT API_SECRET
        'ENDPOINT': FTX_URL,
        'SUBACCOUNT': ''  # Define subaccount if needed
    }
}

FOLLOWERS = {
    'FOLLOWER_A': {
        'API_KEY': '',  # TODO: INSERT API_KEY
        'API_SECRET': '',  # TODO: INSERT API_SECRET
        'ENDPOINT': FTX_URL,
        'SUBACCOUNT': '',  # Define subaccount if needed
        'FOLLOWS': {
            'LEADER_A': '70%'
        }
    }
}

In this example, each trade that LEADER_A takes will also be taken on FOLLOWER_A, however the size will only be 70%. Subaccounts can also be specified, if required.

Debug

You might want to define the -d argument in order to get debug logs. Every http request will be logged and the incoming order streams will be logged if the debug flag is set.

Notes

• The API access for the leaders can be read-only, but the followers can't since orders have to be placed
• It's recommended to only use Conditional Market orders, since the delay generated might interfere with conditional limit orders.
