CryptoSharp

This is a complete cryptocurrency backtesting platform that I developed as my final thesis project for University of West Attica.

Platform architecture

Main components are:

• .Net Core API backend
• WinForms based frontend that communicates with the backend
• CryptoCore: a library that is used in both the backend and the frontend to provide the same core functionality to both applications

Features

• C# strategy scripting
• Script editor with C# syntax highlighting
• Live compile-time script error checking
• Add indicators directly to the chart
• Market prices and candlestick data directly from Binance
• Ability to choose any candlestick interval (5 min, 15 min, 2 hours, etc)
• Visual representation of buys and sells on the chart

Tech used

• CS-Script (for C# code execution)
• DevExpress components (used on the frontend)
• SQLite (caches candlestick data)
• TA-Lib (technical indicators)
• FastColoredTextBox (script editor component)
• RestSharp (HTTP requests to communicate with the backend)
• Newtonsoft Json (json parser)

Running

To compile and run, after restoring all packages from nuget, set default Binance API Key and Secret in CryptoCore.Classes.Globals.DEFAULT_BINANCE_KEY and CryptoCore.Classes.Globals.DEFAULT_BINANCE_SECRET.

Default user login is:

User: admin

Pass: 123

First you run CryptoAPI server (the easiest way is dotnet CryptoAPI.dll) and afterwards you run CryptoFront.exe, which is the frontend.
