Building Your First Trading Bot in Go with Wisp

Have you ever wanted to write a trading strategy that didn't require Python's performance overhead, complex async patterns, or polling loops? If you're a Go developer interested in algorithmic trading, Wisp might be exactly what you need. In this tutorial, we'll build a real RSI momentum bot in ~50 lines of Go. It'll trade on Binance, react to live market data in real-time, and manage orders automatically. Why Wisp? Most trading frameworks are built in Python. They hit the GIL, require threading workarounds, and use polling to check if signals are ready. Wisp is different: Event-driven : Strategies own their run loop. No polling. Goroutine-native : Leverage Go's concurrency without fighting the runtime. Multi-exchange : Binance, Bybit, Hyperliquid—same code. Zero boilerplate : Focus on your strategy, not plumbing.
