Description

A VWAP algorithm that attempts to beat the VWAP price (i.e tries to get a price for you that is better than what the market is executing at) The following user parameters must be defined:

• product_id - the ticker you want to trade (i.e BTC-USD)
• side - either 'buy' or 'sell'
• hours - how many hours you want the execute the order over
• orderqty - size (i.e 1 BTC)
• limit - a hard limit on all orders When running the code, the following inputs are entered via the user from the command prompt

Getting Started

It's pretty simple, you'll need to get an authenticated client setup first on your Coinbase Pro account so you're "hooked-in" appropriately.

• The authenticated_client.py script is where you'll need to put your relevant keys and is a nice & easy way to switch between virtual trading and live trading. If you need help on how to do this, please refer to the following repo (https://github.com/danpaquin/coinbasepro-python)
• Now run python coinbase_algo.py
