Freqtrade Installation Is a Gauntlet.
We Removed It Entirely.
Installing Freqtrade means Python 3.11+, pip, git, TA-Lib compilation, virtualenv, and hours of troubleshooting. cryptorobot.ai runs in your browser — sign up and trade.
The Problem
What You Deal With Today
Python Version Conflicts
Freqtrade needs Python 3.11+. Managing pyenv, conda, or system Python is a rabbit hole before you even start.
TA-Lib Compilation
The TA-Lib C library must be compiled from source. It fails frequently on macOS ARM, Windows, and various Linux distros.
Dependency Hell
Hundreds of pip packages, numpy/scipy compilation, version pin conflicts. One mismatch breaks everything.
