go-dex-trading-bot

A trading bot for Stakenet's XSN DexAPI (Decentralized Exchange) written in golang.

The official XSN DexAPI with a trading bot written in Scala can be found here: github.com/X9Developers/DexAPI.

It also has an extensive documentation how to set up all the required components on your machine which is mandatory to get this bot running, since this repository only provides an alternative trading bot implementation.

Components

Run the bot

Download the bot binary from the release and execute the binary ./bot which will automatically pick up the cfg.json and connect to the lssd, read the lnd the certificates from the path specified in the config. By default, it will print the current orderbook in console, followed by placing orders, if you have any orders specified in the cfg.json.

Create stub via protoc

Use the following link to install the prerequisites (https://grpc.io/docs/quickstart/go/):

1. install protoc compiler (3.6.1+)
2. install protoc-gen-go compiler plugin

Generate a stub by using the lssdrpc.proto file

The latest lssdrpc.proto file can be found on: github.com/X9Developers/DexAPI/releases

This lssdrpc.proto has to be copied to the lssdrpc directory and the following commands have to be executed.

Go to the project root, execute the following command to generate a go client for the lssdrpc API:

1. cd lssdrpc/

2. protoc -I . lssdrpc.proto --go_out=plugins=grpc:.

which will output a lssdrpc.rb.go that has client and server connectors automatically generated.
