Motivation

I was inspired by Virat Singh, who created an AI Hedge Fund team — a proof of concept that demonstrates how AI can be used to make trading decisions.

I loved his project idea, but unfortunately, this was for shares, etc., and not for cryptocurrencies. So I created an AI-Crypto-Fund.

Setup

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/Nikityyy/ai-crypto-fund.git
cd ai-crypto-fund

2. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Set your API Key

You need to set your Groq API key as an environment variable. There are a couple of ways to do this:

Option 1: Using setx (Windows)

This method permanently sets the environment variable for your user account.

setx GROQ_API_KEY "YOUR_API_KEY"

Important: Replace "YOUR_API_KEY" with your actual Groq API key. You may need to restart your command prompt or PowerShell session for the changes to take effect.

Option 2: Using a .env file

This method is generally preferred for portability and avoids permanently setting system-wide environment variables.

a. Create a file named .env in the root directory of the project.

b. Add the following line to the .env file:

GROQ_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY

Important: Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual Groq API key.

c. Make sure you have the python-dotenv package installed. If not, install it using pip:

pip install python-dotenv

The main.py and backtester.py scripts are configured to automatically load the API key from the .env file.

Important: You must set the API Key to make the AI Crypto Fund to work.

Usage

There are two scripts:

• main.py | Executes a trading decision for the current day.
• backtester.py | Simulates multiple trading decisions throughout the day, as if an AI were managing your portfolio.

Just run them like this:

python main.py

python backtester.py
