# Migration Plan: Stock Market → Crypto Market
|
|
|
|
## Core Architectural Changes Required
|
|
|
|
### 1. **Data Layer Overhaul** (High Priority)
|
|
- **Market Data Sources**:
|
|
- Replace Alpha Vantage/yfinance with crypto-native APIs (CCXT, CoinGecko, Messari, Glassnode)
|
|
- Add DEX data aggregators (The Graph, Dune Analytics)
|
|
- Integrate on-chain analytics (Etherscan, blockchain explorers)
|
|
|
|
- **New Data Types**:
|
|
- 24/7 market data (no market close)
|
|
- Order book depth and liquidity metrics
|
|
- On-chain metrics (active addresses, transaction volume, whale movements)
|
|
- DeFi protocol TVL and yields
|
|
- Cross-exchange arbitrage opportunities
|
|
|
|
### 2. **Analyst Team Modifications**
|
|
|
|
**Technical Analyst** - Major changes:
|
|
- Adapt to 24/7 trading (no gaps, different volatility patterns)
|
|
- Add crypto-specific indicators (NVT ratio, MVRV, Funding rates)
|
|
- Exchange-specific volume analysis (spot vs perpetuals)
|
|
|
|
**Fundamentals Analyst** - Complete rewrite:
|
|
- Replace balance sheets with: Tokenomics, emission schedules, circulating supply
|
|
- Network health metrics: Hash rate, validator count, staking ratios
|
|
- Protocol revenue and treasury analysis
|
|
- Competitor analysis (layer-1s, DeFi protocols)
|
|
|
|
**News Analyst** - Enhanced sources:
|
|
- Crypto-native media (CoinDesk, The Block, Decrypt)
|
|
- Social platforms (Crypto Twitter/X, Reddit r/cryptocurrency)
|
|
- Regulatory announcements (SEC, global regulators)
|
|
- Protocol governance proposals
|
|
|
|
**Social/Sentiment Analyst** - Expanded role:
|
|
- Twitter/X influencer tracking
|
|
- Discord/Telegram community sentiment
|
|
- Reddit sentiment (r/cryptocurrency, r/bitcoin)
|
|
- On-chain sentiment (long/short ratios, liquidation data)
|
|
|
|
**New Analyst Needed**: **On-Chain Analyst**
|
|
- Whale wallet tracking
|
|
- Exchange inflow/outflow analysis
|
|
- Smart contract interaction patterns
|
|
- Network congestion and gas fees
|
|
|
|
### 3. **Risk Management Overhaul**
|
|
|
|
**New Risk Factors**:
|
|
- Smart contract risk (protocol hacks, exploits)
|
|
- Regulatory risk (SEC actions, country bans)
|
|
- Liquidity risk (low-cap altcoins, rug pulls)
|
|
- Bridge/custody risk
|
|
- Correlation to Bitcoin (market beta)
|
|
|
|
**Position Sizing**:
|
|
- Tiered approach: BTC/ETH (larger positions) vs altcoins (smaller)
|
|
- Volatility-adjusted sizing (crypto is 3-5x more volatile)
|
|
- Exchange risk limits (avoid concentration on single CEX)
|
|
|
|
### 4. **Trading Execution Changes**
|
|
|
|
**Broker Integration**:
|
|
- Replace MT5/IBKR with: Binance, Coinbase Pro, Kraken APIs
|
|
- CCXT library for unified exchange interface
|
|
- Consider DEX integration (Uniswap, 1inch)
|
|
|
|
**Order Types**:
|
|
- Support for perpetual futures and options
|
|
- Funding rate considerations
|
|
- Limit orders with time-in-force variants
|
|
|
|
**Risk Controls**:
|
|
- 24/7 monitoring (no weekends off)
|
|
- Flash crash protection (circuit breakers)
|
|
- Exchange outage handling
|
|
|
|
### 5. **Backtesting Framework Adjustments**
|
|
|
|
**Data Requirements**:
|
|
- Sub-second tick data for volatile periods
|
|
- Cross-exchange price discrepancies
|
|
- Realistic slippage models (higher than stocks)
|
|
- Exchange downtime simulation
|
|
|
|
**Performance Metrics**:
|
|
- Sharpe ratio targets: 1.5-2.5 (vs 1.2 for stocks)
|
|
- Max drawdown tolerance: 30-40% (vs 15% for stocks)
|
|
- Recovery time analysis
|
|
|
|
### 6. **LLM Prompt Engineering**
|
|
|
|
**Context Adaptations**:
|
|
- Train agents on crypto terminology (DeFi, NFTs, Layer-2s)
|
|
- Update fundamental analysis prompts (no P/E ratios!)
|
|
- Add regulatory uncertainty reasoning
|
|
- Incorporate narrative-driven market dynamics
|
|
|
|
### 7. **Configuration Changes**
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
CRYPTO_CONFIG = {
|
|
"data_vendors": {
|
|
"market_data": "ccxt", # Unified exchange data
|
|
"on_chain_data": "glassnode", # On-chain metrics
