TrendPulse is an automated crypto trading bot that implements a moving-average crossover strategy on BTC/USDT. It analyzes 15-minute candlesticks using a 9/21 MA indicator to generate buy/sell/hold signals, applies a 2% stop-loss, and enforces position-size caps. The bot runs exclusively in dry-run (paper trading) mode against live market data from Kraken, generating trading signals without placing any real orders. A public status page displays the bot's health, latest signals, and current price in real time.

Before any live trading, the bot runs historical backtests on 90+ days of real BTC/USDT data and validates performance on exchange testnets. Real money only moves after explicit owner approval following successful strategy validation.

TrendPulse — Crypto Trading Bot

What we're building: An automated crypto trading bot running your moving-average crossover strategy (9/21 MA on BTC/USDT 15m candles, 2% stop-loss, position-size caps). It runs strictly in dry-run (paper trading) mode — real market data in, buy/sell/hold signals out, zero real orders placed.

Where we are: MVP complete. The bot is built and verified end-to-end in dry-run mode against live market data (Kraken feed; Binance is geo-blocked from our host), hard-locked so no real order is possible. A published status page shows the bot's health, latest signal, and price live.

Current focus: Strategy validation — the step required before any live-trading decision. Running a historical backtest of the 9/21 MA crossover on ~90 days of real BTC/USDT 15m data (trades, win rate, return, max drawdown), then validation on an exchange testnet. No real money moves until the strategy is validated in dry-run and testnet, and the owner explicitly approves going live.

Full-stack engineer: Python (ccxt, pandas) trading-bot development, running and verifying background processes, and lightweight web pages (HTML/CSS/JS) for the site. Can install packages, diagnose failures, and verify work by actually running it.

Connect Notion and Vercel MCPs for task tracking and deployment. Provide Kraken API read-access credentials (no trading permissions needed for dry-run mode). The bot is pre-configured for 15m BTC/USDT analysis; customize MA periods, stop-loss percentage, and position-size caps in the strategy config file as needed. Access the public status page via Vercel to monitor signals and bot health in real time.
