DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A SCALABLE DEEP LEARNING-BASED CRYPTOCURRENCY PRICE PREDICTION AND AUTOMATED TRADING

Abstract

The cryptocurrency market has over the past years found its way into most parts of the globe because of its high volatility and possible high returns that it may offer when it is traded. This volatility however makes it difficult to make informed trading decisions by the investors. This project, which will be called SuperCrypt, will aim to design and build an advanced, artificially intelligent crypto trading system that will forecast market patterns and automatize trading strategies in the process of allowing the user to manage their investment portfolios more efficiently. SuperCrypt utilizes OHLCV data in real-time and history provided by exchanges e.g. Binance and trains the deep learning models e.g. BILSTM and Performer to forecast short-term price and multi-timeframe analysis. The system has a simple interface and provides main functions like user authentication, customizable dashboards, management of API keys, automated trading, and preferences of a user in trading. It is created on the basis of Django as a backend service, Fast API as a server to facilitate predictions, Torch as a machine learning training module, and PostgreSQL as an administration of data. It also has an embedded real- time analytics, and performance monitoring tools that give the user clear actionable information. SuperCrypt is containerized in Docker to enable scalability and long-term maintainability and allows CI/CD best practices by tracking experiments with MLflow and ZenML. The performance, security and usability of the system was tested widely in different platform and found to be acceptable. As opposed to most of the available systems that are multifaceted and costly, SuperCrypt will democratize access to AI-powered trading tools by establishing a user-friendly, simple to understand, reliable, and cost-effective solution. As such, this platform provides a linkage between the cutting-edge AI technology and the ease and simplicity of design, allowing an inexperienced as well as a professional trader to confidently and accurately make their way through the complicated maze of the cryptocurrency market.
