crypto-data-and-executionlisted

Crypto market data and execution, and how a 24/7 market breaks equity tooling. TRIGGER - crypto, Bitcoin, BTC, Ethereum, ETH, digital assets, perpetuals, perps, funding rate, crypto order book; ccxt, cryptofeed, python-binance, freqtrade, jesse, hummingbot, OctoBot; a crypto exchange, testnet or sandbox; annualizing crypto returns; porting an equity strategy to crypto. Annualization is 365 not 252, funding is frequently larger than the alpha being measured, and exchange pair lists are chronically survivorship-biased. SKIP for equity and futures brokers (broker-execution-apis).

# Crypto data and execution Crypto inverts several assumptions baked into equity tooling: there is **no session, no holiday calendar, no consolidated tape, no corporate actions — and a far worse survivorship problem.** ## 1. Pick a tool | Task | Use | Note | |---|---|---| | **Connectivity to any venue** | **`ccxt` 4.5.77** (MIT, 43,850★, ~daily releases) | 100+ venues. **Not a backtester — no simulation layer at all** | | Live L2/L3 feeds | `cryptofeed` 2.5.0 | 🚨 **Python ≥3.12 and no Windows wheel** (sdist only) | | Binance-specific | `python-binance` 1.0.37 | MIT | | **Retail bot, live-first** | **`freqtrade` 2026.8** (GPL-3.0, 53,985★) | 🥇 **best bias-detection tooling in the whole field** — see §4 | | Backtest + live, MIT | `jesse` 3.1.0 (MIT, 8,413★) | Very active | | Market making / CEX-DEX | `hummingbot` (Apache-2.0, 19,781★) | 🚨 **no Windows wheel**, py≥3.10.12 | | GUI-first bot | `OctoBot` | GPL-3.0 | | Serious event-driven, multi-venue | `nautilus_trader` | LGPL-3.0, **needs Python ≥3.12** | ✅ **CCXT Pro is free.** It was merged into the MIT `ccxt` package at v1.95 (2022) — WebSocket methods (`watchTicker`, `watchOrderBook`, `watchTrades`, `watchOrders`…) are **no longer a paid product**. Ignore any subscription-expiry notice or tutorial telling you to buy it. Today: `ccxt` (sync REST) · `ccxt.async_support` · `ccxt.pro` (async + WS) — one package. Since v4.5.66 it also covers **prediction markets** (Polymarket, Kalshi, Hyperliquid) through the same unified A
