I need a fully-automated trading bot that executes a pure scalping strategy—quick in, quick out, dozens of trades per session. The logic must monitor live order-book data, place market or limit orders within milliseconds, and immediately manage stops to keep drawdowns tiny. I am deliberately choosing scalping over swing trading or arbitrage, so the code has to be lean, latency-aware, and able to adapt to rapid price movements. You’re free to suggest the exchange API you feel offers the fastest and most reliable fills; I can open or fund the relevant account once we agree. I care far more about execution speed, solid risk controls, and clean code than about any particular platform. Key deliverables • Source code (Python preferred, but Node.js or another language is fine if it’s demonstrably faster) • Config file or dashboard where I can adjust pair, position size, spread thresholds, and max daily loss • Error handling, logging, and a simple back-test script so I can verify performance on historical data • Step-by-step deployment guide that lets me run the bot on my own VPS or cloud instance Please factor in real-time data handling, order throttling limits, and security best practices (API key encryption, IP whitelisting). I’ll test the bot on a paper account first and release final acceptance once it matches the stated parameters for at least three consecutive trading days. Let’s build something fast, stable, and profitable.
