DiscordAlertsTrader 1.0.1

Package for automating discord trade alerts in TDA or eTrade.

DiscordAlertsTrader: Discord Alerts Trader Bot

---

A Python package to automate trades from alerts shared in a Discord channel by analysts. The package parses these messages and executes trades from traders specified in the configuration file. It tracks messages from all the channels, generates a portfolio from analysts and from trades executed, provides live quotes to see actual alert profits (rather than prices stated in the alert), and can trigger an alert to open long or short a position, close it or update exits (target profit, stop loss).

Trades are done through APIs of TDAmeritrade (full functionality), eTrade (long positions for now) or webull (long, no OCO, live quotes). If no brokerage API key is provided, it will just print the discord messages and track the analysts portfolio. With an API key, it will track the current price of the alerts, besides executing trades.

If in config.ini, DO_BTO_TRADES = false, no trades will be executed.

GUI capabilities

• Parsing trading signals from messages (e.g., BTO, STC, SL, PT).
• Tracking trading signals with a message history tab for the channel
• Tracking performance with real-time actual prices and returns.
• Opening, closing, and updating trades through the GUI.
• Calculate analysts' stats and provide options to test stats with maximum capital
• Checking order and account status, and accessing current ticker prices.
• Supporting manual trade execution through prompts if auto_trade is set to False in config.ini.

Current Discord servers being used:

• TradeProElite (good timing, profitable strategies): invite link
• BullTrades (good for shorting, see historical trades in the package): invite link

Supports any Discord channel with structured BTP/STC alerts as message contents (not embedded, yet)

Let me know if you find the package useful or need support by dropping me a DM @MinkysTradus or visiting the discord server

Discord user token and channel IDs

---

It requires a user discord token, once installed the package saves the token in config.ini[discord], as well as the channel ID where alerts are posted. To get the discord token follow the instructions: https://www.androidauthority.com/get-discord-token-3149920/ To get the channel ID, in Discord right click on the channel and click "Copy Channel ID"

Automation of user accounts is against Discord ToS. This package only read alerts and Discord can not detect automation behavior, however, if you want to follow Discords ToS, do not provide a user token and manually input the alerts at the bottom of the GUI to manually trigger the alerts ;)

Installation and Setup

---

1. Install Python:

   • For Windows, open PowerShell and run the following command, verify that it prints out "Hello World!":

     if (-not (Test-Path $env:USERPROFILE\scoop)) {
         # Install Scoop
         Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
         irm get.scoop.sh | iex
     }
     scoop install git
     # Check if extras are included
     $extras = scoop bucket list | Select-String -Pattern '^extras$'
     if (-not $extras) {
         # Add the extras bucket    
         scoop bucket add extras
     }
     # Install Miniconda3
     scoop install miniconda3
     # Check python is installed
     python -c "print('Hello, World!')"
     

2. In the PowerShell terminal navigate to the directory where you want to clone the DiscordAlertsTrader package, e.g. type: cd Desktop.

3. Clone the package from the GitHub repository and install the package and its dependencies using pip:
