This project is a Bitcoin trading bot that generates buy/sell signals using the Simple Moving Average (SMA) strategy on the Binance platform. The bot is designed to operate automatically and can be used for both live trading and backtesting.

• Live Trading: The bot connects to the Binance API and executes trades based on the SMA strategy.
• Backtesting: The bot uses historical data to simulate trading and evaluate the performance of the strategy.
• Simple Moving Average (SMA): The strategy is based on the comparison of the current price with the SMA to determine buy/sell signals.

• main.py: Contains the code for live trading using the Binance API.
• backtest.py: Contains the code for backtesting the SMA strategy using historical data.
• .gitignore: Specifies files and directories to be ignored by Git.
• README.md: This file, providing an overview of the project.

• Python 3.x
• pandas
• backtrader
• binance
