## What it is
GoCryptoTrader is a cryptocurrency trading bot and framework written in Go, supporting many major exchanges via REST, Websocket, and FIX APIs. It provides a unified exchange API, encrypted configuration, and packages for communication, rate limiting, and database storage.

## When to choose
- you want a Go-based, extensible multi-exchange trading framework
