This is a public lemon.markets repository that outlines a dollar-cost averaging (DCA) strategy using our API. To get a general understanding of the API, please refer to our documentation.
This script can be used as a starting point to implement your own dollar-cost averaging strategy and to set up Telegram notifications. If implemented as is, the script will trade one share of the Xtrackers MSCI World Swap ETF 1C weekly.
A walk-through of this script can be found in this blog-post.
You'll notice that the script uses several environment variables. Please define the following in an .env file or within your IDE:
| ENV Variable | Explanation |
|---|---|
| DATA_API_KEY | Your market data API key |
| TRADING_API_KEY | Your paper/money trading API key |
| MIC | Market Identifier Code of Trading Venue |
In this repository, we're using send-telegram to send messages using Telegram. Install Telegram on your smartphone and message /newbot to @BotFather to get started. BotFather will give you a token, which can be used to interact with your bot.
send-telegram can be installed in your terminal using pip as follows:
pip install telegram-send
It can be configured with:
telegram-send --configure
You will be prompted to fill in the token you received, at which point you will receive a password. Upon sending this password to your bot using the Telegram app, your script will be configured with your bot. Full installation instructions for send-telegram can be found here.
You can now use send-telegram with the command:
telegram_send.send(messages=["Hello!"])
This (and all lemon.markets open source projects) is work in progress. If you are interested in contributing to this repository, simply create a PR and/or contact us at support@lemon.markets.
