Warning
This bot is provided as-is. Use it at your own risk. Trading involves financial risks, and you may incur significant losses. Always test in a safe environment (e.g., a testnet and/or with small amounts) before deploying in live markets. The author is not responsible for any financial outcomes.
Before using the Binance Trade Bot, you need to configure your environment with the Binance API client credentials. These credentials allow the bot to interact securely with your Binance account. Follow these steps to set up:
-
Obtain your Binance API Key and Secret
- Log in to your Binance account.
- Navigate to the API Management section.
- Create a new API key, choosing HMAC type and providing any label (e.g.,
CLI_Bot). - Save the API Key and Secret Key securely. You will not be able to view the secret again after closing the page.
-
Set Environment Variables Export the API credentials as environment variables in your terminal before executing the binance-bot cli:
export BINANCE_API_KEY=<your-api-key> export BINANCE_SECRET_KEY=<your-secret-key>
-
Set AI Provider API Keys (optional) To enable the AI multi-agent system, export one or more of the following API keys. The system works with any combination — you can use 1, 2, or all 3 providers:
export OPENAI_API_KEY=<your-openai-api-key> export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=<your-deepseek-api-key> export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=<your-anthropic-api-key>
Variable Provider Default Model OPENAI_API_KEYOpenAI gpt-4o-miniDEEPSEEK_API_KEYDeepSeek deepseek-chatANTHROPIC_API_KEYClaude claude-3-5-haiku-20241022If no AI keys are set, the bot runs entirely on technical indicators — AI is fully optional.
-
Create a config file You can specify a custom configuration file to adjust the bot's parameters of trading indicators.
See the sample configuration file.
binance-bot -f binance-config.yml auto-trade -t "BTC/USDT" -a 0.001 -sl 2.0 -tp 2.5 -b 0.9998 -s 1.0003 -rp 2 -ra 5This example:
- Automatically detects whether
BTC/USDTis trending up or down before each operation. - Enters bull mode (buy low, sell high) when tendency is "up", or bear mode (sell high, buy back low) when tendency is "down".
- Re-detects tendency between every operation, adapting to changing market conditions.
- If tendency flips during entry scanning, the bot dynamically switches mode without waiting.
- The TUI header shows the currently active mode (BULL/BEAR) updated in real-time.
binance-bot -f binance-config.yml auto-trade -t "DOGE/USDT" -a 100 -sl 2.0 -tp 2.5 -b 0.9998 -s 1.0003 -rp 6 -ra 0 --strategy bullThis example:
- Forces the bot to only enter bull (buy-first) operations — useful when your account only holds USDT.
- The bot monitors the market and waits for an "up" tendency before placing any orders.
- If tendency flips away during scanning, the bot returns to waiting instead of switching to bear.
- Use
--strategy bearto force sell-first operations (when you hold the base coin and want to sell first). - Use
--strategy auto(default) for fully automatic tendency detection.
binance-bot -f binance-config.yml bull-trade -t "XRP/USDT" -a 50 -sl 1.5 -tp 2.0 -b 0.9998 -s 1.0003 -rp 4 -ra 0This example:
- Trades the pair
XRP/USDTwith an amount of50. - Sets a stop-loss of
1.5%and a take-profit of2%. - Adjusts buy and sell factors for the LIMIT order target price.
- Rounds the price to 4 decimals and the amount to 0 decimals.
binance-bot -f binance-config.yml bear-trade -t "BTC/USDT" -a 0.001 -sl 2.0 -tp 3.0 -b 0.9998 -s 1.0003 -rp 2 -ra 5This example:
- Sells
0.001 BTCwhen bearish signals are detected. - Sets a stop-loss of
2%(price rises above entry) and take-profit of3%(price drops below entry). - Buys back at a lower price to capture the difference as profit.
binance-bot -f sample-scalp-config.yml bull-trade -t "PEPE/USDT" -a 50 --sl 0.6 --tp 1.0 -b 0.9999 -s 1.0001 -rp 8 -ra 0 -o 500This example:
- Uses 1-minute candles and a scoring-based entry (any 3 of 6 signals bullish).
- Sets tight stop-loss / take-profit suitable for volatile low-cap tokens.
- Runs up to 500 operations with only 10s between completed operations.
- See sample-scalp-config.yml for the full config.
binance-bot -f binance-config.yml top-gainersLaunches a real-time TUI listing the top 24h price-change gainers on Binance, filtered by quote asset, minimum volume, and an exclude list. Refreshes on the configured poll-interval. Press q to quit.
binance-bot -f binance-config.yml rotate-tradeScans the configured rotation.supported-assets basket against rotation.bridge-asset and records every scout comparison to .binance-bot/scouts.jsonl. When a relative-ratio opportunity beats fee-adjusted thresholds, the bot rotates from the current asset into the selected asset through the bridge. The sample config runs this mode as dry-run: true; switch it off only after validating behavior with small balances.
binance-bot -f binance-config.yml backtest -t "BTC/USDT" --strategy classic-bullRuns a registered strategy over recent Binance candles using the configured indicators, starting balance, and fee assumptions. Available strategies are classic-bull and scalp-bull.
binance-bot -f binance-config.yml serveStarts a local HTTP server using api.address. Endpoints include /api/health, /api/trades, /api/scouts, /api/values, and /api/current-asset. Use ?limit=100 on history endpoints to read only the most recent records.
binance-bot -f binance-config.yml validate-configReads the YAML configuration, validates required ranges and enum-like values, and exits without starting a trading session. Valid configs print Config OK; invalid configs print every issue found so you can fix them in one pass.
Modify these parameters based on your specific trading requirements.

float | 0.2 |
Percent withheld when sizing round-trip orders (buy-back, sell-back) and when scaling down orders after an insufficient-balance retry. Lower this when running with BNB fee discounts. Defaults to 0.2 when unset. |
Before submitting any order, the bot checks Binance spot free balances for the required base or quote asset. Fee-aware mode subtracts estimated round-trip taker fees and buffer-pct from take-profit decisions. When an order is rejected with insufficient balance, the bot automatically retries once with the quantity reduced to fit the available balance (minus buy-back-buffer-pct).

2026-04-07 12:35:10 [INFO] ✓ RSI exit ok (RSI declining=true, scalp bypass=false)
Binance enforces a minimum notional value (price × quantity) per symbol — typically 5 USDT. If the configured --amount would produce a notional below this threshold (common with very cheap tokens like PEPE or SHIB), the bot automatically raises the quantity to meet the exchange's NOTIONAL and LOT_SIZE filters before placing the order. A message is logged when an adjustment occurs:
BUY qty adjusted from 50.00000000 to 405210.00000000 to meet exchange filters (minNotional=5.00)
No manual intervention is required — the adjustment is transparent and logged. After any adjustment, the bot checks the relevant account balance before submitting the order.
The bull-trade command is designed to operate during bull market trends, leveraging upward momentum to execute profitable trades.
In classic mode, the bot places a buy order when all of the following conditions are true simultaneously. In scalp mode, the conditions are scored and entry triggers when min-score out of 6 are bullish (see Scalp Mode Configuration).
- RSI: Value is below the configured
lower-limit(default 30), indicating the market is oversold and ripe for a reversal upward. - MACD Momentum: The MACD line crosses above the Signal line (classic) or the MACD histogram (
macd − signal) is positive and rising bar-over-bar (scalp), confirming building upward momentum rather than a stale above-signal state. - Tendency Confirmation: The trend direction is "up" (DEMA above EMA).
- DEMA Proximity to Bollinger Bands: The current DEMA is closer to the Lower Band than the Upper Band, suggesting a potential reversal from oversold conditions.
- ADX Trend Strength (if configured): ADX is above the threshold (default 25), confirming a strong trend.
- Volume Confirmation (if configured): Current volume exceeds its moving average, avoiding false breakouts.
- AI Consensus (if enabled): The multi-agent system must explicitly approve the entry at or above
ai.min-confidence.
Before submitting the buy order, the bot verifies that the account has enough free quote-asset balance, such as USDT for XRP/USDT.
The bot will exit a position through one of three mechanisms:
- Trailing Stop-Loss (if enabled): After the price rises by
activation-pctabove buy price, the stop trails from the highest price. Triggers when price drops bytrailing-pctfrom the peak. - Fixed Stop-Loss: The price drops to the stop-loss percentage below buy price. Executes immediately (no AI delay on protective exits).
- Take Profit: The price reaches the take-profit percentage AND RSI is declining (skipped in scalp mode when
require-rsi-exit: false) AND the AI supports the exit (if enabled).
Before submitting an exit sell order, the bot verifies that the account has enough free base-asset balance for the quantity being sold.
The bear-trade command is designed to operate during bear market trends, profiting from downward price movement by selling high and buying back low.
In classic mode, all conditions must be met simultaneously. In scalp mode, min-score out of 6 signals must be bearish.
The bot will open a short position (sell) when:
- RSI: Value is above the configured
upper-limit(default 70), indicating the market is overbought and ripe for a reversal downward. - MACD Momentum: The MACD line crosses below the Signal line (classic) or the MACD histogram (
macd − signal) is negative and falling bar-over-bar (scalp), confirming building downward momentum. - Tendency: The trend direction is "down" (DEMA below EMA).
- DEMA Proximity to Bollinger Bands: The current DEMA is closer to the Upper Band than the Lower Band, suggesting a potential reversal from overbought conditions.
- ADX Trend Strength (if configured): ADX confirms the trend has strength.
- Volume Confirmation (if configured): Current volume exceeds its moving average.
- AI Consensus (if enabled): The multi-agent system must explicitly approve the entry at or above
ai.min-confidence.
Before submitting the sell entry, the bot verifies that the account has enough free base-asset balance, such as BTC for BTC/USDT.
The bot will exit the bear position (buy back) through one of three mechanisms:
- Trailing Stop (if enabled): After the price drops by
activation-pctbelow sell price, the stop trails from the lowest price. Triggers when price rises bytrailing-pctfrom the trough. - Fixed Stop-Loss: The price rises to the stop-loss percentage above sell price. Executes immediately.
- Take Profit: The price drops to the take-profit percentage AND RSI is rising (skipped in scalp mode when
require-rsi-exit: false) AND the AI supports the exit (if enabled).
Before submitting a buy-back order, the bot verifies that the account has enough free quote-asset balance for the estimated cost.
The auto-trade command removes the need to manually choose between bull and bear strategies. Before each operation, the bot evaluates the current market tendency using the same DEMA-vs-EMA analysis used by the individual modes.
- Strategy Selection: The
--strategyflag determines behavior:auto(default): Detects tendency automatically and trades in whichever direction the market is trending.bull: Forces buy-first operations — the bot waits until tendency is "up" before entering. Ideal when you only hold the quote asset (e.g., USDT).bear: Forces sell-first operations — the bot waits until tendency is "down" before entering. Ideal when you hold the base asset and want to sell first.
- Tendency Detection: At the start of each operation, the bot fetches historical prices on the configured
tendency.intervaland compares DEMA(fast-length) to EMA(slow-length). If DEMA > EMA for the lastconfirm-barsbars the tendency is "up" (bull); if DEMA < EMA it's "down" (bear); otherwise the tendency is unconfirmed and entries are blocked. - Waiting for Match: When a strategy is forced (
bullorbear), the bot continuously monitors tendency and only proceeds when it matches the required direction. The TUI shows the mode with "(waiting)" until tendency aligns. - Balance-Aware Mode Selection: Based on the detected/matched tendency, the bot switches to the appropriate strategy only if the account can fund that entry. Bull mode requires enough free quote asset for the buy, such as USDT for
XRP/USDT; bear mode requires enough free base asset for the sell, such as XRP forXRP/USDT. - Live Re-detection: During entry scanning in
automode, if the tendency flips, the bot adapts only when the account can fund the new side. If the detected side cannot be funded, the bot keeps monitoring instead of exiting. In forced strategy mode, a tendency flip causes the bot to return to waiting. - Entry & Exit: Once a mode is selected, the exact same entry conditions (classic or scalp scoring) and exit mechanisms (trailing stop, stop-loss, take-profit, AI confirmation) apply as in the standalone
bull-tradeorbear-tradecommands. - Per-Operation Adaptation: After each completed operation (entry + exit), the bot re-detects tendency before the next one.
The TUI header dynamically shows the current mode:
BULL (waiting)orBEAR (waiting)when a forced strategy is waiting for matching tendencyBULL (waiting balance)orBEAR (waiting balance)when tendency matches but the account lacks the free asset required for that entryAUTO MODEin cyan at startup (when strategy is auto)- Switches to
BULL MODE(green) orBEAR MODE(red) once tendency is detected/matched - Updates in real-time if tendency flips during scanning
Tip: The
auto-tradecommand uses the same config file and flags asbull-trade/bear-trade. The bot determines direction automatically from the live tendency.
When AI is enabled, the decision flow operates as follows:
Technical Indicators ──┐
├──> AI Agents (concurrent) ──> Weighted Consensus ──> Trade Decision
Sentiment Data ────────┘ │ │ │
OpenAI DeepSeek Claude
- Entry signals: Technical conditions must pass first, then AI must explicitly approve with the matching signal (
BUYfor bull entry,SELLfor bear entry) at or aboveai.min-confidence.HOLD, low-confidence, malformed, or opposing AI output blocks new exposure. - Stop-loss / trailing-stop exits: Execute immediately without waiting for AI — safety first.
- Take-profit exits: AI is allowed to block the exit only when it gives a confident opposite signal.
HOLDand low-confidence output do not prevent taking profit once the technical exit checks pass.
Note
The AI consensus is considered alongside — not instead of — the technical indicators. Both must agree for a trade to execute. This dual-confirmation approach reduces false signals while preserving protective exits.
