Professional desktop terminal for cryptocurrency scalping
Manual and algorithmic trading in one workstation — built and refined since 2017
What Moonbot is · Repositories · Architecture · Exchanges · Links
Moonbot is a professional trading terminal for cryptocurrency scalping, in continuous development since 2017. It is a desktop workstation for traders who work with market microstructure: tick-by-tick price data, graphical order book depth, liquidation levels, and sub-second order execution.
The terminal combines manual and algorithmic trading in a single application — over 20 built-in strategies with 300+ configurable parameters, a trigger system where one strategy can activate another, a backtesting module, and an emulator for risk-free strategy development.
Moonbot is architecturally split: an execution core can run on a VPS close to the exchange, while the control interface stays on the trader's machine. The two communicate over a custom UDP protocol — MoonProto — which is what most of the code in this organization implements.
What this is not: Moonbot is not a cloud service, not a mobile app, and not a signal bot. It does not hold funds and does not store API keys on any third-party infrastructure — the terminal connects to exchanges through the trader's own API keys, and all data and settings stay on the trader's machine or server.

MoonProto
UDP transport
The core is the execution engine — it owns exchange connections, orders, strategies, risk logic, and authoritative trading state. MoonProto is the client-side bridge to that core: transport, authorization, reconnect, subscriptions, retained state, events, and typed user intents. Applications built on MoonProto handle UI and product logic; they never talk to exchanges directly.
This separation is what allows the execution engine to sit in a datacenter next to the exchange while the trader works from anywhere — and to keep managing an open position if the client connection drops.
