Motivation

• Make it easier for Hummingbot users to prototype new strategies focusing only on the functionality and forgetting about configuration files and compilation
• Since scripts do not require configuration files, the create and import commands do not apply when using them them.
• Scripts are pure Python implementations. They have all the capabilities that a traditional strategy (aka.: full strategy) has. Having pure Python implementations enables developers to change the scripts and reload them in the client without rerunning the compilation process.
• The new script strategies are intended to replace the old Scripts, which are limited to PMM and will be eventually deprecated

feat/script_strategy branch

This feature is new and lives in a feature branch in the CoinAlpha/Hummingbot fork: https://github.com/CoinAlpha/hummingbot/tree/feat/script_strategy

See examples in the /scripts folder for how to:

• place orders
• listen to order book events
• use rate oracle
• call exchange APIs
• process the events produced by the connectors related to the orders lifecycle
