Advanced TWAP Strategy

Advanced TWAP (2) Strategy

https://github.com/CoinAlpha/hummingbot-rfox.git

Summary

The “twap_plus” strategy highly involves the Relative Strength Indicator (RSI) trend of a certain trading pair to execute trades. This way users can setup bots to match whenever the RSI levels are theoretically giving “Buy” signals or “Sell” signals and decide potential entry and exit points.

Brief overview of RSI

(RSI) is a momentum indicator that evaluates overbought or oversold conditions by measuring the magnitude of recent price changes for various assets. It is displayed as an oscillator (a line graph that moves between two extremes) and can have a reading from 0 to 100.

Traditional interpretation and usage of the RSI are:

• 70 or above - (SELL) Indicates that an asset is becoming overbought or overvalued and may be primed for a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price.
• 30 or below - (BUY) Indicates an oversold or undervalued condition and may be poised for a rebound.

Sample Config

See details below:

• target_asset_amount - The goal is to trade a total of 30 ADA.
• order_amount_min - The minimum amount of ADA to bid is 6
• order_amount_max - The maximum amount of ADA to bid is 8
• rsi_length - The RSI Length to base orders to be placed is 14
• indicator_candle_size - Orders will be placed every 1s based on the RSI 14 graph
• order_side - The only action to be done is to “Buy”

When Started

With the configuration above:

• 4 ADA bid orders were made on a indicator_candle_size (1s) which was based on the rsi_length (14)
• The bot tried to fill orders until the target_asset_amount (30) was filled by the frequent orders indicated by order_amount_min (6) up to order_amount_max (8)

• “twap_plus - Not possible to break the order into the desired number of segments”
  Message appeared. This means that the bot has stopped creating orders.
• “twap_plus - [time stamp] is now greater than Previous time [time stamp]. Trying to place orders now. -Message appeared. This means that it will still try to place an order even if the bid order target_asset_amount (30) - At this point there will be no more orders reflecting in the exchange’s open orders.

Conclusion:

The twap_plus strategy’s ultimate goal is to fill the asset value indicated in the target_asset_amount. In order to do this, once the bot has started, it will create either a bid or an ask order based on the value assigned on the order_side which will be buying or selling. If buying, make sure to have enough Quote currency. On the other hand, to sell, make sure Base currency is available. The asset order volume to be placed will use the values indicated on the order_amount_min and order_amount_max. Remember that the bot uses the Base currency as the indicator on all order fields. And the frequency of the order will be depending on the graph of the rsi_length and selected timeframe in the indicator_candle_size. The bot will stop making orders when the target_asset_amount has been reached or if: (x + y) > target_asset_amount. Where:

• x = Current asset amount
• y= order_amount_min or order_amount_max
