I have improved the functionality if the crypto trading bot that I coded and open sourced

A while ago, I posted about a crypto trading bot that I coded and decided to open source my code and share with the crypto community. A lot of you had great feedback for me to add into the bot in order to improve its functionality. So I added some new features in, for more flexibility.

Here's a quick breakdown of what the core features are:

1. The bot will be trading Bitcoin automatically if the price has increased by more than 3% in the last 10 minutes.
2. The bot has a stop loss of 5% and a take profit of 8%

And here are some additional features that I added from your feedback:

1. The stop loss, take profit and crypto selected are now easily configurable
2. The price threshold (default at 3) is also easily customisable
3. The bot now has an option to open sell positions

Many of you have mentioned that you would like to test the opposite scenario, so instead of buying after a quick surge, to sell instead. I have added this in as well, so you can experiment with this feature. 🙂

The code is available on GitHub and there is also a step-by-step guide you can follow if you're new to trading bots or Python.
