Jesse is a self-hosted open source python-based bot development framework. It currently has 305k cumulative downloads on Github. Their focus is on providing an easy-to-approach python framework for writing trading strategies and backtesting them. They also have recently started testing offering strategies of their own (Called SlowTrendFollowing and SMACrossover). However, they are only showing backtesting data from 2021 for these strategies so the data is incomplete.

Jesse is open source software and thus free to use, but you are limited to accessing only the “BitGet” exchange. Paying for the premium license is the only way to enable live trading for exchanges other than BitGet (e.g. Binance). The premium license also gets you stuff like technical support, paper trading, as well as access to some kind of personal “premium strategy” run by the founder of the project.

After the recent FTX disaster, there has been discussion in the Jesse discord regarding possibly supporting DEXes for trading. Here is the response from the creator:

November 11, 2022 1:18 PM (GMT+2) @raabot The problem for me at the minute is that Jesse is limited now to 4 exchanges, of which only 1 I can trade futures on because of regulation in the UK meaning I can't use binance futures. That means full exposure on 1 exchange which is an unacceptable risk given the events that are transpiring

@saleh As things are going, I'm seeing the increasing need for a DEX so I'll try to implement it sooner but I don't expect it to be a short task. I'm open for all types of suggestions about the DEX integration

This could mean Jesse might be competing in the same space as Trading Strategy soon. You can read more about it in his recent blog post here.
