Bitcoin Trading Simulation

A Python-based CLI tool that simulates Bitcoin trading using a 'Golden Cross' moving average strategy. It generates synthetic price data using Geometric Brownian Motion, executes trades based on technical indicators, and provides a daily ledger with a final performance summary.

Features

• Price Simulation: Uses Geometric Brownian Motion to simulate Bitcoin prices.
• Trading Strategy: Implements a Golden Cross strategy (Short MA > Long MA = Buy, Short MA < Long MA = Sell).
• Rich CLI Output: Features color-coded logs (Green for Buy/Profit, Red for Sell/Loss) and emojis for better readability.
• Performance metrics: Compares the strategy's performance against a "Buy and Hold" approach.
• Customizable: Configure simulation parameters via command-line arguments.

Installation

1. Clone the repository.
2. Install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Run the simulation script with default settings (60 days, $10k initial cash):

python bitcoin_trading_simulation.py

Options

Customize the simulation with the following arguments:

python bitcoin_trading_simulation.py --days 100 --initial-cash 5000 --initial-price 60000 --volatility 0.03

• --days: Number of days to simulate (default: 60)
• --initial-cash: Initial cash amount (default: 10000)
• --initial-price: Initial Bitcoin price (default: 50000)
• --volatility: Price volatility (default: 0.02)
• --quiet: Suppress daily portfolio log (only show final result)
• --no-color: Disable colored output (for accessibility or logging)

Example:

python bitcoin_trading_simulation.py --days 30 --quiet --no-color

Tests

Run the test suite using pytest:
