I Built a Crypto Trading Bot with AWS

[@RhettReisman]

What projects are you guys running with AWS?

[@sammyta8119]

What do you mean? Lambda?

[@RhettReisman]

Yeah or any other projects you’re running :) - you can do a lot with AWS

Last AWS/Gemini video was great. This one is great too. Great way to DCA. I hope Strike offers DCA at some point. I wish Swan and River Financial had lower fees as their security/privacy is top-tier for KYC exchanges/brokers. You might be interested in Quadency if you aren't familiar with them already--a trading interface with various DCA and bot strategies. Thanks Rhett.

[@RhettReisman]

Thanks Jeff I appreciate it 🙏 glad to help! I’ll check out Quadency. Yeah Swan and River would be great with lower fees, I’ve asked Swan about lower fees a couple times but haven’t heard back :/ Gonna have a video out in the next month on Strike DCA through their direct deposit feature that’s in beta. Got my first paycheck in Strike last week and it was very easy. Fees were ~0.3%

[@aliensmadeus]

amazing from you to check for a free cloud solution and if AWS is free to use. because this could have made the workaround unprofitable in the long run. cant wait to buy bitcoin daily with your solution. thank you very much.

[@RhettReisman]

Yeah, it’s incredible that Amazon provides lambda + cloudwatch for free!

I ACTUALLY WAS ON THE VERGE OF BUYING A SECOND LAPTOP TO RUN SOME PYTHIN CODE I WROTE FOR AN EXCHANGE: THIS VIDEO HAS SAVED ME A BIT OF MONEY😅

[@RhettReisman]

Haha happy to help :)

[@HarlandDWhite]

Haha, I was confused about AWS and whether it was free when I watched your Gemini video; but was able to figure it out. So I definitely think this video will be helpful to a lot of people. I also didn't know about how the whitelisting worked, so I'm going to make sure I set that up!!

[@RhettReisman]

Yeah I didn't do a very good job in that first video giving people a background in AWS :/ hopefully this one helps close the knowledge gap 😅 Yes! Feel like whitelisting is the most underrated crypto security secret. Might deserve a whole video by itself!

Which commenter said that about you?!! You're the best! F the haters hahaa

@@RhettReisman you are pushing me to try again to register with Gemini shit customer support system… love your DCA système !

[@RhettReisman]

I’ll have a video up next week how to do it with Coinbase Pro if that’s better for you. If not, would Kraken/Binance be better?

Thank you!

Glad to help!

[@therealuwu]

The DCA video was awesome. If you could share how we can further tweak the code to incorporate other data (like for example fear and greed index) before we purchase, that will be great

[@RhettReisman]

That would be epic. There’s so much stuff people want to add to the scripts. If you can point me to a fear and greed index or data you’d like to see incorporated, I’ll start building on the scripts over the next few months :)

[@RhettReisman]

I think KZbin removed whatever comments you posted :/ I can see them in notifications but they don’t load

[@thefirstgoonie]

Thank you for your video Rhett. I find EC2 window free version REALLY slow. What do you recommend for a faster upgraded instant?

[@RhettReisman]

I haven't messed around with that much, sorry :/ hopefully someone else with a better answer sees this comment haha

[@bennyx1281]

Ok could I use Windows on it, I want to use it for a NFT blockchain so it can run 24/7 for me ?!

[@RhettReisman]

That’s an interesting use case, there’s probably some kind of AWS function that would let you run a windows machine where you could host your blockchain. I think you could do this with AWS Lightsail (which is not free)

[@sammyta8119]

Hi Rhett, please help! All my past functions created in AWS just disappear from the Dashboard or under the Function tab. How can I retrieve those functions for modification/ cancellation? It seems like those are aging off from the dashboard but they are still active performing the daily tasks...thanks!

[@RhettReisman]

Just added this issue to the FAQs: rhett.blog/2021/07/08/gemini-api-faqs/#disappear I think you’re probably in the wrong region environment. Check the FAQs for screenshots how to see which region environment you should be in.

[@sammyta8119]

@@RhettReisman you are a genius, Rhett!! I switched over to Ohio and find all the functions! Woot woot!

[@lhrbueno]

Great video! Is there a way to my order get taken instantly? Sometimes it takes hours for it

[@RhettReisman]

Hi Luiz, yes you can definitely get faster fills! In the line: price = str(round(float(trader.get_ticker(symbol)['ask'])*factor,2)) Change the factor from .999 to .9999 and your limit order that gets created will be closer to the spot price (which means you get worse price execution but faster fills). Let me know if that helps, or dm me @rhettre on Twitter and we can talk through it with screenshots :)

[@lhrbueno]

@@RhettReisman I will try thanks

[@davidrod2865]

the data you put in AWS is not encrypted at all. So... do not need a hacker to compromise your data, just any internal can acces it

[@RhettReisman]

I doubt a rogue AWS employee would steal your API keys. Internal Amazon controls would fail all sorts of SOX audits if this was the case. To your point, if you created other users on your AWS account this could be a problem.

[@ekuljsy]

Haha you ain’t a jack ass mate I understood your prior video an new how to use AWS. I do work in IT though 🤪

[@RhettReisman]

😂🤣 that comment definitely made me realize not everyone is in IT haha glad it was understandable though!

[@ikust007]

Mate: Compass Mining. Care of talking about things like that ?

[@RhettReisman]

Yep, looking into compass mining now. Should have a video out late this year / early next year

Yeah 🔥 might be able to get something out October/November on analysis but probably mid next year if I actually buy one
