Scalping Crypto Trading Bot Development -- 2

I need a fast-acting scalping bot purpose-built for the cryptocurrency market that connects reliably to the Delta Exchange API. The core requirements are straightforward: place very short-term trades, react to real-time order-book and price-action data within milliseconds, and manage risk through configurable position sizing, stop-loss and take-profit rules.

The code should be self-contained, well-commented and easy to deploy—Python or Node.js is fine so long as you include clear setup instructions and any necessary dependency files. Robust error handling, automatic API-key authentication, and graceful recovery from network interruptions are essential so the bot can run unattended. A simple dashboard or command-line interface to tweak parameters (spread thresholds, max open positions, cooldown timers, etc.) will help me fine-tune performance without touching the code.

Back-testing against historical Delta Exchange data plus a short live paper-trading session will confirm that order execution, fee calculations and position closing logic all match exchange behaviour. Performance logs and a summary report of key metrics (win ratio, average profit per trade, maximum drawdown) will serve as proof of concept before I move to live funds.

Deliverables
1. Full source code with inline documentation
2. Setup guide and environment requirements
3. Back-test and paper-trade results files
4. Quick-start user guide for configuring keys and strategy parameters

If you have experience writing low-latency crypto bots or integrating directly with Delta’s REST and WebSocket endpoints, this project should be very familiar territory. I’m aiming for a clean, dependable tool that can be extended later with new pairs, indicators or exchanges once the core scalping engine is stable.
