🛠️ Installation

Production Installation

# Install with pipx (recommended)
pipx install bitfinex-maker-kit

# Configure API credentials
echo 'BITFINEX_API_KEY=your_api_key_here' > .env
echo 'BITFINEX_API_SECRET=your_api_secret_here' >> .env

Development Installation

Recommended: One-Command Setup (solves externally-managed-environment errors)

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/0xferit/bitfinex-maker-kit.git
cd bitfinex-maker-kit

# One-command setup (creates venv + installs everything)
make setup

# Activate virtual environment (if not already active)
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

# Verify installation
make quality          # Run all quality checks
pytest               # Run tests

Alternative: Using pipx (for tool installation)

# Install as isolated application
pipx install git+https://github.com/0xferit/bitfinex-maker-kit.git

# For development
git clone https://github.com/0xferit/bitfinex-maker-kit.git
cd bitfinex-maker-kit
pipx install -e .

Manual Installation (if virtual environment setup fails)

# Option 1: Force install (not recommended)
pip install -e ".[dev]" --break-system-packages

# Option 2: User install
pip install -e ".[dev]" --user

# Option 3: Traditional virtual environment
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"
pre-commit install

💡 Troubleshooting "externally-managed-environment" Error:

• Modern Python/macOS: Use virtual environment (recommended above)
• System Python: Use pipx for isolated installation
• Docker: Use the provided Dockerfile for containerized development

4. Test Thoroughly: Ensure all tests pass with pytest
5. Submit PR: Open a pull request to develop branch

Conventional Commits

We use Conventional Commits for automated versioning. Your commit messages determine version bumps:

Commit Type	Example	Version Bump
fix:	fix: correct order cancellation logic	Patch (0.0.X)
feat:	feat: add stop-loss order support	Minor (0.X.0)
BREAKING CHANGE:	feat!: change API response format	Major (X.0.0)
chore:	chore: update dependencies	No release
docs:	docs: improve API documentation	No release
test:	test: add integration tests	No release
refactor:	refactor: simplify order validation	Patch (0.0.X)
perf:	perf: optimize WebSocket handling	Patch (0.0.X)

Examples

# Bug fix (patch release)
git commit -m "fix: resolve WebSocket reconnection issue"

# New feature (minor release)
git commit -m "feat: implement adaptive spread adjustment"

# Breaking change (major release)
git commit -m "feat!: redesign order management API

BREAKING CHANGE: OrderManager.create() now requires Symbol parameter"

# No release
git commit -m "docs: add examples for market-make command"
git commit -m "chore: update ruff configuration"

Automated Release Process

When changes are merged from develop to main:

1. The system analyzes commit messages since the last release
2. Automatically determines the version bump type
3. Updates version in pyproject.toml and __init__.py
4. Creates a git tag
5. Publishes to PyPI
6. Creates a GitHub release

No manual version management needed!

⚠️ Risk Disclaimer

IMPORTANT: Trading cryptocurrency involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. The volatile nature of cryptocurrency markets may result in significant financial losses. You should carefully consider whether trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances, knowledge, and financial resources.

• Test First: Always use --dry-run mode before live trading
• Start Small: Begin with minimal position sizes
• Monitor Closely: Actively supervise automated strategies
• Risk Management: Never trade more than you can afford to lose
