Crypto Signals Automation

Crypto Signals Automation

Use this skill to create a full pipeline: RapidAPI signals -> normalized signal objects -> dYdX v4 order execution.

Workflow

1. Collect setup inputs first:
   • RapidAPI plan + key (X-RapidAPI-Key)
   • dYdX wallet address + mnemonic file path + subaccount
   • risk settings (max leverage, margin per trade, max open positions, close-after-hours)
   • TP/SL mode (reduce-only conditional orders)
   • alert channels (Telegram chat IDs)
2. Validate RapidAPI connectivity with scripts/rapidapi_fetch.py.
3. Generate env template with scripts/bootstrap_env.py.
4. Wire runtime script/cron that:
   • fetches symbols/signals,
   • filters fresh active signals,
   • opens positions with retries,
   • places TP/SL reduce-only conditional orders,
   • closes stale positions,
   • cleans orphan reduce-only orders,
   • sends Telegram notifications for open/close with PnL.
5. Test with one symbol in controlled mode before enabling full symbol set.

RapidAPI source

• API: cryptexAI - Buy & Sell Signals
• Base host header: cryptexai-buy-sell-signals.p.rapidapi.com
• Endpoints:
  • GET /getSymbols
  • GET /getSignalsForSymbol?symbol=...

Use the most recent active=true signal per symbol. Deduplicate by signal id.

dYdX execution rules

• Use dYdX v4.
• Open position with market semantics.
• Set TP/SL immediately after open as reduce-only conditional orders:
  • TP type: take-profit-market
  • SL type: stop-market / stop-limit equivalent in client
• Retry failed order submissions up to total 3 attempts.
• Keep signal->order client_id mapping in state and only cancel matching reduce-only orders on cleanup.

Security

• Never commit real API keys/secrets.
• Store secrets in .env with strict file permissions (chmod 600).
• Treat mnemonic/passphrase as secrets.
• If a token was exposed in chat/history, rotate it.
