DiscordAlertsTrader: Discord Alerts AutoTrader Bot

If you like this package, give it a star!

For an exe compiled version, go to Releases

A Python package to automate trades from alerts shared in a Discord channel by analysts. The package parses these messages and executes trades from traders specified in the configuration file. It tracks messages from all the channels, generates a portfolio from analysts and from trades executed, provides live quotes to see actual alert profits (rather than prices stated in the alert), and can trigger an alert to open long or short a position, close it or update exits (target profit, stop loss).

Trades are done through APIs of TradeStation, eTrade or webull (either a PT or SL order, no trailing stops). If no brokerage API key is provided, it will just print out the discord messages and track the analysts' portfolio. With an API key, it will track the current price of the alerts, besides executing trades.

If in config.ini, DO_BTO_TRADES = false, no trades will be executed.

GUI capabilities

• Parsing trading signals from messages (e.g., BTO, STC, SL, PT).
• Tracking trading signals with a message history tab for the channel
• Tracking performance with real-time actual prices and returns.
• Opening, closing, and updating trades through the GUI.
• Calculate analysts' stats and provide options to test stats with maximum capital
• Checking order and account status, and accessing current ticker prices.
• Supporting manual trade execution through prompts if auto_trade is set to False in config.ini (not maintained).

Current Discord servers being used:

• EnhancedMarket TradeProElite (profitable strategies about 10-8k month that's what EnhancedMarket makes [fully pays $49/week membership], uses software to send trade alerts with minimal delay even for scalps and uses my bot to track trade' alerted PnL and market price PnL, full transparency. Good for learning how to trade with live sessions): invite link)
• Prosperity Trades Vader the analyst uses my alerter bot that reads filled orders in webull and sends a discord alert, it also uses my tracking bot to register alerted and market PnL invite link
• Supreme alerts Server with +30 analysts, your site for getting all the alerts you need [$69 month]. Use this referral link + add lifetime 10% off discount coupon: DAlertsTrader

Supports any Discord channel with structured BTP/STC alerts as message contents (server_formatting.py has functions to change different server formattings, including embedded messages). It has over 20 custom analysts' formatting.

Let me know if you find the package useful or need support by dropping me a DM or visiting the discord server

Enjoy this package for free. If you need me to add a customized parsing for an analyst not implemented already, or need a remote desktop session with me to install the package: $50

Discord user token and channel IDs

It requires a user discord token, once installed the package saves the token in config.ini[discord], as well as the channel ID where alerts are posted. To get the discord token follow the instructions: https://www.androidauthority.com/get-discord-token-3149920/ To get the channel ID, in Discord right click on the channel and click "Copy Channel ID"

Automation of user accounts is against Discord ToS. This package only reads alerts and Discord can not detect automation behavior, however, if you want to follow Discords ToS, do not provide a user token and manually input the alerts at the bottom of the GUI to manually trigger the alerts ;)

Installation and Setup

If you want a pre-compiled version, see Releases, and skip to step 6.

1. Install Python 3.10:

   • For Windows, open PowerShell and run the following command, verify that it prints out "Hello World!":

     if (-not (Test-Path $env:USERPROFILE\scoop)) {
      # Install Scoop
      Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
      irm get.scoop.sh | iex
     }
     scoop install git
     # Check if extras are included
     $extras = scoop bucket list | Select-String -Pattern '^extras$'
     if (-not $extras) {
      # Add the extras bucket    
      scoop bucket add extras
     }
     # Install Miniconda3
     scoop install miniconda3
     # Check python is installed
     python -c "print('Hello, World!')"
     
     # Make sure is python 3.10
     conda install python=3.10

   • For macOS:
     • Install Miniconda by selecting your OS version: https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html
     • Open the terminal (cmd + space -> terminal) and type conda install python=3.10, then follow the next steps inside the terminal

2. In the PowerShell terminal navigate to the directory where you want to clone the DiscordAlertsTrader package, e.g. type: cd Desktop.

3. Clone the package from the GitHub repository and install the package and its dependencies using pip:

   git clone https://github.com/AdoNunes/DiscordAlertsTrader.git
   cd DiscordAlertsTrader
   pip install -e .

4. Copy the example configuration file to config.ini:

   cp DiscordAlertsTrader/config_example.ini DiscordAlertsTrader/config.ini

5. Edit the DiscordAlertsTrader/config.ini file to add your Discord token and configure other settings:

   • Add your Discord token in the appropriate field.
   • (Optional) Modify other configurations as needed, such as authors to follow, trailing stop, etc.
   • (Optional) If you have a TDA/etrade API, add it to the configuration. See next sections.

Running the DiscordAlertsTrader

To run the DiscordAlertsTrader, execute the following command in the terminal:

DiscordAlertsTrader

This will launch the DiscordAlertsTrader application and start listening for alerts on Discord.

Make sure to keep the terminal or command prompt window open while the application is running to see any output or errors.

Closing the Application

To stop the DiscordAlertsTrader application, simply close the terminal or command prompt window where it is running.

Etrade API

Create a sandbox (mock) api key: https://us.etrade.com/etx/ris/apikey

To get the production (real) keys, fill out the forms at the bottom of: https://developer.etrade.com/getting-started

Make sure to select free real-time quote data: https://us.etrade.com/etx/hw/subscriptioncenter#/subscription

Before running the package and send orders, in etrade web make a trailing stop order and preview to sign an Advanced Order Disclosure, otherwise an error will arise when posting the order

Etrade does not have One Cancels the Other (OCO) so you can not pass a target profit and stoploss at the same time. However, the package can create a local OCO, by passing in the alert or config default exits, a PT1 50%TS5% SL 50% (numbers can change). This will create an SL order, and every 10 secs check the contract price until it reaches 50%, then it will create a trailing stop of 5%.

Webull API

Webull PAPER trading only works for opening orders (BTO)

You will need to get a device ID, follow these steps to get DID, and then save it in the config.ini, along with credential details: https://github.com/tedchou12/webull/wiki/Workaround-for-Login-Method-2

Trading pin is the 6 digit code used to unlock webull

Webull does not have One Cancels the Other (OCO) so you can not pass a target profit and stoploss at the same time. Also there is no trailing stop. However, the package can create a local OCO, by passing in the alert or config default exits, a PT1 50%TS20% SL 50% (numbers can change). This will create an SL order, and every 10 secs check the contract price until it reaches 50%, then will try to create a trailing stop of 20%, but because of webull it will instead sell at PT.
