## What it is
A console-based cryptocurrency trading bot written in Go that connects to multiple exchanges via REST and websocket. It supports custom trading strategies and a simulation mode for paper trading with fake balances.

## Use cases
- run an automated crypto trading bot from the terminal
- paper trade strategies against Binance or Bittrex before risking real funds
- write custom trading strategies in Go and bind them to a bot
- trade across multiple exchanges like Poloniex, Kraken, and Bitfinex from one tool
- backtest or simulate trading strategies in a sandbox environment

## When to choose
- you want a Go-based, self-hosted trading bot with exchange abstraction
- you need websocket and REST support across several major exchanges
- you want to test strategies safely with simulation mode first

## When to avoid
- you need a graphical interface or hosted trading dashboard
- you require exchange features like withdrawals (e.g., Kraken REST lacks withdraw support)
- you prefer Python-based trading frameworks with larger ecosystems
