This repository contains an example of a trading bot, demonstrating one of the ways the Capital.com Open API can be used. Please note that the aim of the bot is not to generate profit, but to provide a template for strategy building.

The trading bot strategy is built on the RSI indicator values. The bot opens a long position when RSI is < 30 and a short position when RSI is > 70. It also sets stop-loss and take-profit values equidistant from the current price of the instrument.

Please note that multiple entries in different directions are not supported by this bot. Therefore, if it receives a signal in the opposite direction, the existing position is closed at market price. It’s highly recommended that you use a separate trading account when testing the bot’s functionality.

When you start using the bot, the following values should be set:

• Financial account
• Instrument(s): multiple values are allowed
• Quantity: can be set manually or as a percentage of the available account balance
• Stop-loss/take profit: can be set in pips OR as a percentage of the available account balance
• Timeframes.
