Description

  • Integrate with a low-fee or no-fee exchange.
  • Raise the threshold for which the trader decides to buy/sell, and lower the threshold for which it decides to hold.
  • Manage fees when pytrader takes multiple positions in the same instrument in different directions

Contributor guide

Research direction
