Software Telegram bot for grid trading on waves exchange

TelegramBlackBot (based on BlackBot) implements a grid trading strategy with a Telegram interface. It can work with any asset pair on the Waves DEX.

Grid trading is not dependent on which way the market is moving – in fact, as a profitable strategy, it works best in market-driven markets. The strategy places a ladder of sells at regular intervals above the market price and another ladder of buys below it. If a sell is filled, those funds are used to place a buy directly below that sell. So you can think of the grid as a series of buy/sell pairs extending up and down the price chart, with either a buy or sell in each pair always active.

For example, let’s say the last price is 2000 satoshis, you have a ladder of sells at 2100, 2200, 2300… If the price reaches 2100, you immediately use those funds to place a new buy at 2000. If it drops back to 2000, you buy back the Incent you sold at 2100. If it rises further, you sell at 2200 and open a buy at 2100. Whichever way the price moves, you are providing depth – buffering the market and smoothing out any peaks and valleys. Additionally, if you open and then close a trade within a tranche (e.g. you sell at 2200 and then buy back at 2100), you make a small profit.
