I found FreqUI too cumbersome and slow on my Raspberry Pi 400 when running multiple instances of freqtrade bots. So I came up with a python Rich client:
It has very basic interactivity via the keyboard module which has cross-platform issues. I might consider porting this all to prompt-toolkit in the future, but not now.
If you don't have freqtrade, get it here, and you'll satisfy most of the requirements. If not you'll need to pip install the following requirements.
If you're intending to copy the scripts into an existing freqtrade folder, you'll need to activate your venv (e.g. source ./path/to/freqtrade/env/bin/activate
) and pip install:
You'll need to activate your venv or use the global python environment, and pip install -r requirements.txt
or manually install the following:
Once cloned, copy the script files into your freqtrade/scripts folder. That's it!
You need to add a COPY command into your freqtrade dockerfile to copy the scripts into the container and rebuild. Full instructions coming soon!
You'll need the rest_client.py file from the core freqtrade repo and place it in the same folder that you put these files. Grab it from here: https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/stable/scripts/rest_client.py or
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/stable/scripts/rest_client.py
The easiest way to configure frogtrade9000 is with a YAML file. You can use a YAML file (see example_frogtrade_config.yaml
) that contains the options you wish to run frogtrade9000 with, including multiple servers:
./scripts/frogtrade9000.py -y frogtrade_config.yaml
Running frogtrade9000 with no options will make it look for your config.json
file and read in the api_server
stanza from there, picking up the server IP, port, username and password:
./scripts/frogtrade9000.py
To specify a config use -c
:
./scripts/frogtrade9000.py -c my-other.config.json
The nice thing about frogtrade9000 is that you can monitor multiple bots and strategies. If you run multiple bots with different IPs/ports use the -s
flag to manually specify your own botname, the IP and ports and any username/password info of the freqtrade API servers separated by commas:
./scripts/frogtrade9000.py -s [bot1]user:pass@192.168.1.69:8081,[bot2]user:pass@127.0.0.1:8082
For simpler TTYs/terminals that cannot display curved symbols, use the -b
option to use square edges so plots render correctly:
./scripts/frogtrade9000.py -s [bot1]user:pass@192.168.1.69:8081,[bot2]user:pass@127.0.0.1:8082 -b
Other options include:
-x
flag-s
-k
*Note that your password has to be RFC compliant. You can use alphanumeric characters and `- . _ ~ % ! $ & ' ( ) + , ; =`**
There's not much to say. The view updates every 5 seconds.
It uses the Rich library to provide a console view, so there isn't really any decent interactivity as part of that library. However, if the keyboard is working (see below) then you can:
1
would change the chart to SHIB/USDT. Pressing 0
takes you back to BTC/USDT (or whatever informative pair you've specified in the code).B
will take you to the bot running on 192.168.1.77:8082
keyboard
module needs root/sudo on Linux to gain access to /dev/input*
. You can run frogtrade9000 without sudo, but any of the hokey keyboard interactivity will be disabled.The very cool ASCII charts are from https://github.com/kroitor/asciichart under the MIT licence
