Python Crypto Copy-Trading Bot
Budget: €250 – €750 EUR
Python Developer – Crypto Copy-Trading Bot
Project Overview
I am looking for a Python developer to build a prototype automated trading system that copies trades from selected traders on a crypto trading platform using its API.
The system should monitor specific trader wallets/accounts and automatically execute similar trades on my account.
The goal is to build a fast MVP prototype that demonstrates the copy-trading logic.
Core Requirements
1. Fast Trade Execution
The system should detect a trade from a target trader and copy it within approximately 3 seconds.
The system must:
* monitor selected trader addresses/accounts
* detect new trades or position changes
* immediately submit a matching order through the platform API
2. Configurable Trading Parameters
Bet Size
* user can define fixed bet size per trade
Example: $20 per trade
Limit Price
* orders should support limit orders
* configurable price tolerance
Stop Loss
* if the market price moves −10% from entry price, the bot should automatically close the position
3. Copy Multiple Traders
The system should be able to monitor multiple traders simultaneously.
Example logic:
* if Trader A opens a position → execute trade with base size
* if Trader B also opens the same position → increase exposure
Example:
* base bet size = $20
* Trader A trade → $20 position
* Trader A + Trader B trade → $40 total position
4. Risk Protection
The bot should include protection against bad fills or rapid price movements.
* if the price moves more than a defined threshold before execution (for example +5–10%), the bot should skip the trade
* configurable slippage tolerance
5. Basic System Features
* configuration file (for trader addresses and parameters)
* logging of trades and errors
* basic risk controls
* ability to run continuously
Technical Requirements
* Python
* experience working with APIs
* experience building trading bots or crypto automation preferred
Deliverables
* working Python script or small project
* setup instructions
* ability to run the bot locally
