Python Developer – Crypto Copy-Trading Bot Project Overview I am looking for a Python developer to build a prototype automated trading system that copies trades from selected traders on a crypto trading platform using its API. The system should monitor specific trader wallets/accounts and automatically execute similar trades on my account. The goal is to build a fast MVP prototype that demonstrates the copy-trading logic. Core Requirements 1. Fast Trade Execution The system should detect a trade from a target trader and copy it within approximately 3 seconds. The system must: * monitor selected trader addresses/accounts * detect new trades or position changes * immediately submit a matching order through the platform API 2. Configurable Trading Parameters Bet Size * user can define fixed bet size per trade Example: $20 per trade Limit Price * orders should support limit orders * configurable price tolerance Stop Loss * if the market price moves −10% from entry price, the bot should automatically close the position 3. Copy Multiple Traders The system should be able to monitor multiple traders simultaneously. Example logic: * if Trader A opens a position → execute trade with base size * if Trader B also opens the same position → increase exposure Example: * base bet size = $20 * Trader A trade → $20 position * Trader A + Trader B trade → $40 total position 4. Risk Protection The bot should include protection against bad fills or rapid price movements. * if the price moves more than a defined threshold before execution (for example +5–10%), the bot should skip the trade * configurable slippage tolerance 5. Basic System Features * configuration file (for trader addresses and parameters) * logging of trades and errors * basic risk controls * ability to run continuously Technical Requirements * Python * experience working with APIs * experience building trading bots or crypto automation preferred Deliverables * working Python script or small project * setup instructions * ability to run the bot locally
