Hummingbot is local client software that you run on your own machine, so you have full control over how it’s configured and where you save your files. No one else can access your data and secrets!

Your Hummingbot folder contains the following folders: hummingbot ┣ conf ┣ connectors ┣ strategies ┣ scripts ┣ logs ┣ data ┣ scripts ┣ hummingbot

Here is what each folder contains:

/conf: General folder for configuration files

/conf/connectors: Exchange API keys encrypted by your password

/conf/strategies: Strategy config files that you can create and import

/conf/scripts: Script config files that you can create --script-config

/logs: Log files generated by your scripts and strategies

/data: SQLite databases and CSV files for the trades executed by your scripts and strategies

/scripts: This folder contains the sample scripts, and you can add new scripts here to make them available to the start command

If you used Docker Compose to deploy Hummingbot, you can launch the network from the directory that contains the docker-compose.yml file with: docker compose up -d
