This is an unplanned tool that turned into something nice and so useful. I was playing with Python, and Binance API when I realized that there are many things that I check so frequently, wouldn't it be nice to just fire a command from the Phone and get an answer within seconds? Or what about scheduling something to run over and over without having to remember it.

This tool is a Telegram bot, that supports various Trading commands by authorized handles. The Backend APIs are provided by Binance which supports quite a lot of features for Cryptocurrency Trading.

Prerequisites of this Tool

• A Telegram Bot and Its API Key
• Binance Account and API Key and Secret

1. Install Dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Or run with Docker: ./docker.sh In case you haven't configured it already, you will get a message. Please follow the next section for Configuration.

You can also provide some other UserIDs to give access to other accounts for certain Commands. You can create a named group under accessContro.groups node and provide a list of telegram userIDs.

Configure adminChatId for CLI messages Telegram Messages needs a Chat ID to respond to. The Chat ID can be known when a message is sent from Telegram. Look into the Logs and find the from.id. Use this to configure adminChatId configuration.
