Database Tracking

Initialize Database

import { FuturesDatabase } from 'clodds/trading/futures';

const db = new FuturesDatabase(process.env.DATABASE_URL!);
await db.initialize();  // Creates tables if not exist

Log Trades

  exchange: 'binance',
  symbol: 'BTCUSDT',
  orderId: '12345',
  side: 'BUY',
  price: 95000,
  quantity: 0.01,

Custom Strategies

Strategy Interface

import { FuturesStrategy, StrategySignal } from 'clodds/trading/futures';

interface FuturesStrategy {
  name: string;
  analyze(data: MarketData): Promise<StrategySignal | null>;
}

interface StrategySignal {
  action: 'BUY' | 'SELL' | 'CLOSE';
  symbol: string;
  confidence: number;  // 0-1
  reason: string;
  metadata?: Record<string, unknown>;
}

Example Strategy

class RSIStrategy implements FuturesStrategy {
  name = 'rsi-strategy';

  constructor(private config: { period: number; oversold: number; overbought: number }) {}

  async analyze(data: MarketData): Promise<StrategySignal | null> {
    const rsi = calculateRSI(data.closes, this.config.period);

    if (rsi < this.config.oversold) {
      return {
        action: 'BUY',
        symbol: data.symbol,
        confidence: (this.config.oversold - rsi) / this.config.oversold,
        reason: `RSI oversold at ${rsi.toFixed(1)}`,
        metadata: { rsi },
      };
    }

    if (rsi > this.config.overbought) {
      return {
        action: 'SELL',
        symbol: data.symbol,
        confidence: (rsi - this.config.overbought) / (100 - this.config.overbought),
        reason: `RSI overbought at ${rsi.toFixed(1)}`,
        metadata: { rsi },
      };
    }

    return null;
  }
}

Register & Run

const engine = new StrategyEngine(db);
engine.registerStrategy(new RSIStrategy({ period: 14, oversold: 30, overbought: 70 }));

// A/B Test Variants
engine.registerVariant('rsi-strategy', 'aggressive', { oversold: 25, overbought: 75 });
engine.registerVariant('rsi-strategy', 'conservative', { oversold: 35, overbought: 65 });

Error Handling

All clients throw typed errors:

import { FuturesError, InsufficientBalanceError, InvalidOrderError } from 'clodds/trading/futures';

try {
  await binance.placeOrder({ ... });
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof InsufficientBalanceError) {
    console.log('Not enough margin');
  } else if (error instanceof InvalidOrderError) {
    console.log('Invalid order params:', error.message);
  } else if (error instanceof FuturesError) {
    console.log('Exchange error:', error.code, error.message);
  }
}

Rate Limits

Exchange	Limit	Notes
Binance	2400/min	Per IP, weight-based
Bybit	120/min	Per endpoint
Hyperliquid	1200/min	Per wallet
MEXC	20/sec	Per IP

All clients automatically handle rate limiting with exponential backoff.
