KuCoin Trading Bot — Automated Futures Execution

SuperKamouBot trades KuCoin Futures perpetuals automatically. The exchange is chosen for its broad altcoin coverage, reasonable fees, and API stability — but live trading on KuCoin is not plug-and-play.

The bot consumes market data over WebSocket and falls back to REST when the feed degrades. KuCoin's public candle feed degrades daily at predictable windows (around 16:40 UTC and 23:14 UTC), with stale or duplicated OHLCV spiking above 80%. A dedicated stale-data gate rejects any cycle where more than 85% of candles are stale, so the signal pipeline only runs on clean data.

Execution is handled through a CCXT adapter with rate-limiting, order reconciliation, and position drift repair. Every cycle compares local state against KuCoin's reported positions. If the exchange truth differs from the bot's record, reconciliation logic pauses new entries until the mismatch is understood.

Current live metrics: 20 closed trades, 9.61% net return, Sharpe 5.22, and open positions. The best trade to date returned +4.18%; the worst lost -6.88%.

Risk is front-loaded. Every position has a mandatory stop-loss, sizing is capped, and the circuit breaker halts new entries when drawdown exceeds 20%. The bot also refuses to average down or use martingale-style sizing.
