Building a Lightning-Fast Crypto Trading Bot from Scratch: PHP, JS & MySQL

[Антон 26]

Hey fellow devs, I'm about to embark on a project that combines my love for crypto trading and programming. I'm thinking of building a high-frequency trading bot from scratch using PHP, JavaScript ( possibly using Node.js), and MySQL as the database. Has anyone worked on a similar project before that can share some insight or advice?

Hey OP, really digging this project. Have you considered integrating WebSocket connections for real-time market data to speed up your bot's decision-making process?

Yo, just wanted to chime in that I've had success using Node.js with WebSockets for real-time market data - seems to be a popular choice in this space. Anyone familiar with using the BitMEX API for trading signals? Would love to hear some experiences with that.

Hey OP, love the combo of PHP, JS, and MySQL for a trading bot. Have you considered using a library like WebSockets for real-time data feeds and pushing updates to your bot? Would be great to see some actual code snippets for this project

Dude, have you considered using Node.js instead of PHP? It's gonna make a huge difference in scalability and speed. Plus, with WebSockets, you can get real-time market data without all the overhead.

Lol, building a trading bot from scratch is like trying to climb a mountain with a sack of potatoes. I've tried my hand at PHP and JS, but never managed to get it to work smoothly. Has anyone got a reliable framework they'd recommend?

Anyone experienced with new trends?

just wanted to chime in and say that using a library like ccxt with Node.js is a much faster route to building a trading bot IMHO. The API integration alone would save a ton of headache and development time. You'd still have to set up the strategy, but at least you're focusing on algo rather than web dev basics.
