2 years ago I started learning Python just so that I can create my own Bitcoin trading framework. Now I'm open sourcing it, I hope you guys like it too

https://github.com/jesse-ai/jesse

I know many of you are already familiar with other projects such as Gekko and Freqtrade, etc and would like to know why I started Jesse instead of using them. So here are a few reasons:

• Simple syntax for defining strategies. I have years of experience and a deep understanding of frameworks such as Laravel and Vuejs which are popular for their simplicity. I designed Jesse the same way. So #1 thing that you'll like about Jesse is how easy it makes it for you turn a strategy idea into actual code.
• Support for using multiple timeframes and symbols in a single strategy. I haven't seen any other project that can offer this without the look-ahead bias. Jesse does that.
• Trading more than one pair at the same time. Jesse allows doing this. I designed it using Routes, which is a concept borrowed from web development.
• It is accurate. This part was a real pain. I did it tho. Through hundreds of unit tests.
• Provides tools for getting and manipulating data in Jupyter notebooks.

Example Strategy

Here is an example of a profitable strategy that shows the usage of TA and the syntax of the framework:

from jesse.strategies import Strategy import jesse.indicators as ta from jesse import utils class SampleTrendFollowing(Strategy): @property def long_ema(self): return ta.ema(self.candles, 50) @property def short_ema(self): return ta.ema(self.candles, 21) @property def atr(self): return ta.atr(self.candles) def should_long(self) -> bool: return self.short_ema > self.long_ema def should_short(self) -> bool: return self.short_ema < self.long_ema def should_cancel(self) -> bool: return True def go_long(self): entry = self.price stop = entry - 3*self.atr qty = utils.risk_to_qty(self.capital, 3, entry, stop) profit_target = entry + 5*self.atr self.buy = qty, entry self.stop_loss = qty, stop self.take_profit = qty, profit_target def go_short(self): entry = self.price stop = entry + 3 * self.atr qty = utils.risk_to_qty(self.capital, 3, entry, stop) profit_target = entry - 5 * self.atr self.sell = qty, entry self.stop_loss = qty, stop self.take_profit = qty, profit_target 

And here is the backtested results:

 CANDLES | ----------------------+-------------------------- period | 365 days (12.17 months) starting-ending date | 2019-01-01 => 2020-01-01 exchange | symbol | timeframe | strategy | DNA ------------+----------+-------------+----------------------+------- Bitfinex | BTCUSD | 6h | SampleTrendFollowing | Executing simulation...

Above example was just an example! Please don't compare it to hodling; or you know, do it! It'll be fun.

This project took me ~2 years. I did it for my own trading needs and I am very happy with the results. Now that I'm releasing it to the public, I hope you guys like it too.

Cheers
