## What it is
A Python CLI tool that fetches order books from multiple Bitcoin exchanges and detects arbitrage opportunities between markets, accounting for market depth. It also includes automated trading bots for a couple of supported exchanges.

## Use cases
- detect bitcoin arbitrage opportunities across exchanges
- monitor crypto price differences between markets
- automate bitcoin trading between exchanges
- check exchange account balance from the command line
- watch order books with market depth for arbitrage

## When to avoid
- you need high-frequency or low-latency trading
- you want WebSocket-based real-time order book feeds (still on the TODO list)
- you need support for many altcoins or triangular arbitrage
- you require a production-grade, well-tested trading system (tests and docs are incomplete)
