Code a Crypto 80H Range Breakout Bot

The 80-hour structural boundary is a critical metric for algorithmic traders. In this guide, we extract Terminal Software's calculated 80H Floors and Ceilings to build a breakout detection script.

Environment Setup

Pull down the required libraries to handle the Terminal API payload.

pip install requests

Fetching the Radar Payload

We will fetch the top 100 assets by market cap and load their structural boundaries.

import requests

headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer term_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE"}
crypto_feed = requests.get("https://api.terminalsoftware.online/v1/crypto/top100", headers=headers).json()

Writing the Breakout Logic

A breakout occurs when the Mark Price breaches the 80H Ceiling (bullish) or the 80H Floor (bearish). We will write a scanner to identify assets currently testing these extremes.

for asset in crypto_feed:
    ticker = asset['clean_asset']
    price = float(asset['price'])
    ceiling = float(asset['ceiling_80h'])
    floor = float(asset['floor_80h'])
    
    # Calculate proximity to boundaries
    dist_to_ceil = ((ceiling - price) / price) * 100
    dist_to_floor = ((price - floor) / price) * 100
    
    if dist_to_ceil < 1.0: # Within 1% of ceiling
        print(f"📈 [BULL TEST] {ticker} is testing 80H Ceiling resistance at ${ceiling}")
    elif dist_to_floor < 1.0: # Within 1% of floor
        print(f"📉 [BEAR TEST] {ticker} is testing 80H Floor support at ${floor}")

This script serves as the foundational logic for an execution bot that fires market orders the moment a confirmed structural breach occurs.
