# Aicoin Freqtrade

> This skill should be used when the user asks about writing trading strategies, backtesting, deploying Freqtrade bots, quantitative trading, strategy optimization, or any Freqtrade-related operation. Use when user says: 'write strategy', 'create strategy', 'backtest', 'deploy Freqtrade', 'deploy bot', 'quantitative trading', 'strategy optimization', 'hyperopt', 'live trading bot', '写策略', '创建策略', '回测', '部署Freqtrade', '部署机器人', '量化交易', '量化策略', '策略优化', '超参数优化', '实盘机器人'. IMPORTANT: ALWAYS use create_strategy to generate strategy files. NEVER write Python strategy code by hand. For crypto prices/charts, use aicoin-market. For exchange trading, use aicoin-trading. For Hyperliquid, use aicoin-hyperliquid.

# AiCoin Freqtrade

Freqtrade strategy creation, backtesting, and deployment powered by [AiCoin Open API](https://www.aicoin.com/opendata).

**Version:** 1.0.0

## STRATEGY CREATION — USE create_strategy

**You MUST use `create_strategy` to generate strategy files. NEVER write Python strategy code by hand.**

```bash
# Generate a strategy with AiCoin data
node scripts/ft-deploy.mjs create_strategy '{"name":"MyStrategy","timeframe":"15m","aicoin_data":["funding_rate","ls_ratio"],"description":"资金费率极端做反向"}'

# Generate a pure technical strategy (no AiCoin data)
node scripts/ft-deploy.mjs create_strategy '{"name":"SimpleRSI","timeframe":"1h"}'
```

**`aicoin_data` options** (combine any):

| Data source | What it does | AiCoin tier |
|-------------|-------------|-------------|
| `funding_rate` | Extreme funding = over-leveraged, trade against | Basic ($29/mo) |
| `ls_ratio` | Contrarian signal from retail long/short ratio | Basic ($29/mo) |
| `big_orders` | Whale buy/sell pressure from institutional orders | Standard ($79/mo) |
| `open_interest` | Detect OI spikes = fragile market | Professional ($699/mo) |
| `liquidation_map` | Liquidation cascade direction bias | Advanced ($299/mo) |

### Strategy Generation Rules for Agent

All `aicoin_data` options require a paid API key. Based on the user's strategy description:

- **If strategy needs AiCoin data** (`funding_rate`, `ls_ratio`, `big_orders`, `open_interest`, `liquidation_map`):
  1. **Do NOT silently include it.** First inform the user that this data requires a paid API key.
  2. Tell them which tier is needed (see table above).
  3. Guide them: get API key at https://www.aicoin.com/opendata → add `AICOIN_ACCESS_KEY_ID` & `AICOIN_ACCESS_SECRET` to `.env`.
  4. Only include the paid data after user confirms they have the key configured.
- **If strategy does NOT need AiCoin data**: Generate a pure technical indicator strategy (RSI, EMA, Bollinger, etc.) — works for everyone out of the box.

**After generating, backtest immediately:**
```bash
node scripts/ft-deploy.mjs backtest '{"strategy":"MyStrategy","timeframe":"15m","timerange":"20250101-20260301"}'
```

## Critical Rules

1. **ALWAYS use `create_strategy`** to write strategies. NEVER hand-write Python strategy files.
2. **ALWAYS use `ft-deploy.mjs backtest`** for backtesting. NEVER write custom Python backtest scripts.
3. **ALWAYS use `ft-deploy.mjs deploy`** for deployment. NEVER use Docker. NEVER manually run `freqtrade` commands.
4. **NEVER manually edit Freqtrade config files.** Use `ft-deploy.mjs` actions.
5. **NEVER manually run `freqtrade trade`, `source .venv/bin/activate`, or `pip install freqtrade`.**

## Quick Reference

| Task | Command |
|------|---------|
| Create strategy | `node scripts/ft-deploy.mjs create_strategy '{"name":"MyStrat","timeframe":"15m","aicoin_data":["funding_rate"]}'` |
| Backtest | `node scripts/ft-deploy.mjs backtest '{"strategy":"MyStrat","timeframe":"1h","timerange":"20250101-20260301"}'` |
| Deploy (dry-run) | `node scripts/ft-deploy.mjs deploy '{"pairs":["BTC/USDT:USDT"]}'` |
| Deploy (live) | `node scripts/ft-deploy.mjs deploy '{"dry_run":false,"pairs":["BTC/USDT:USDT"]}'` |
| Hyperopt | `node scripts/ft-deploy.mjs hyperopt '{"strategy":"MyStrat","timeframe":"1h","timerange":"20250101-20260301","epochs":100}'` |
| Strategy list | `node scripts/ft-deploy.mjs strategy_list` |
| Bot status | `node scripts/ft-deploy.mjs status` |
| Bot logs | `node scripts/ft-deploy.mjs logs '{"lines":50}'` |
| Check profit | `node scripts/ft.mjs profit` |
| Open trades | `node scripts/ft.mjs trades_open` |

## Setup

**Prerequisites:** Python 3.11+ and git.

### Environment Variables

`.env` auto-loaded from (first found wins):
1. Current working directory
2. `~/.openclaw/workspace/.env`
3. `~/.openclaw/.env`

**Exchange keys** (required for live/dry-run trading):
```
# Same format as aicoin-trading skill
BINANCE_API_KEY=xxx
BINANCE_API_SECRET=xxx
# Or OKX, Bybit, etc. — see aicoin-trading skill for full list
```

**AiCoin API key** (required if strategy uses `aicoin_data`):
```
AICOIN_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your-key-id
AICOIN_ACCESS_SECRET=your-secret
```
Get at https://www.aicoin.com/opendata. See [Paid Feature Guide](#paid-feature-guide) for tier details.

**安全说明：** AiCoin API Key 仅用于获取市场数据，无法进行任何交易操作。交易所 API Key 需单独到交易所申请。所有密钥仅保存在本地设备 `.env` 文件中，不会上传到任何服务器。

### Deploy

**Deploy is one command:**
```bash
node scripts/ft-deploy.mjs check    # Check prerequisites
node scripts/ft-deploy.mjs deploy '{"pairs":["BTC/USDT:USDT","ETH/USDT:USDT"]}'
```

This automatically: clones Freqtrade, runs `setup.sh -i`, creates config from `.env`, starts background process, writes `FREQTRADE_*` vars to `.env`.

**Deploy defaults to dry-run (simulated trading).** Pass `{"dry_run":false}` for live.

## User Journey

```
"帮我写一个资金费率策略"
  → node scripts/ft-deploy.mjs create_strategy '{"name":"FundingStrat","timeframe":"15m","aicoin_data":["funding_rate"]}'

"回测一下"
  → node scripts/ft-deploy.mjs backtest '{"strategy":"FundingStrat","timeframe":"15m","timerange":"20250101-20260301"}'

"不错，部署"
  → node scripts/ft-deploy.mjs deploy '{"pairs":["BTC/USDT:USDT"]}'

"上实盘"
  → node scripts/ft-deploy.mjs deploy '{"dry_run":false}'

"今天赚了多少？"
  → node scripts/ft.mjs profit
```

## Common Errors

- `errorCode 304 / HTTP 403` — Paid AiCoin feature. **Do NOT retry.** See [Paid Feature Guide](#paid-feature-guide) below.
- `Python not found` — Need Python 3.11+. `ft-deploy.mjs check` validates this.
- `Strategy not found` — Check `ft-deploy.mjs strategy_list`. File must be in `~/.freqtrade/user_data/strategies/`.
- `Timerange format` — Use `YYYYMMDD-YYYYMMDD` (e.g., `20250101-20260301`).
- `Timeout` — Freqtrade ops may take 5+ min. Use `ft-deploy.mjs` which handles timeouts.

## Paid Feature Guide

When a script returns 304 or 403: **Do NOT retry.** Tell the user:

1. **What happened**: This AiCoin data feature needs a paid API subscription.
2. **How to get a key**: Visit https://www.aicoin.com/opendata to register and create an API key.
3. **Tier options** (for `aicoin_data` in strategies):

| Tier | Price | Strategy Data |
|------|-------|--------------|
| Free | $0 | Pure technical indicators only (no `aicoin_data`) |
| Basic | $29/mo | + `funding_rate`, `ls_ratio` |
| Standard | $79/mo | + `big_orders` |
| Advanced | $299/mo | + `liquidation_map` |
| Professional | $699/mo | + `open_interest` |

4. **How to configure**: Add to `.env` file:
```
AICOIN_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your-key-id
AICOIN_ACCESS_SECRET=your-secret
```
5. `.env` auto-loaded from: cwd → `~/.openclaw/workspace/.env` → `~/.openclaw/.env`. After configuring, the same script command will work.
6. **MUST tell the user**: AiCoin API Key 仅用于获取市场数据，无法进行任何交易操作。如需在交易所下单，需要单独到交易所申请交易 API Key。所有密钥仅保存在你的本地设备 `.env` 文件中，不会上传到任何服务器。

## Troubleshooting

1. Check Python: `python3 --version` (need 3.11+)
2. Check logs: `node scripts/ft-deploy.mjs logs`
3. Verify exchange keys in `.env` (see [Setup](#setup))
4. DO NOT try manual fixes — report error, let ft-deploy.mjs handle it
