Overview

This Python-based Triangular Arbitrage Bot automates profitable cryptocurrency trading by scanning for price discrepancies across multiple exchanges. It leverages the CCXT library to interact with exchanges like Binance, KuCoin, OKX, and Huobi, executing trades to exploit arbitrage opportunities.
