Engine Settings

Execution mode

Demo mode logs every signal and sizes the position, but sends nothing to the exchange. Real mode places actual orders with the API key in this server's .env.

Fees are subtracted from every recorded P&L, in demo as well as real — otherwise the paper account compounds on money it never had. They are charged on notional, so leverage multiplies them: at 10× a market in and out costs 0.1% of notional, which is 1% of the margin, i.e. 1% ROI. Both sides are charged at the taker rate, because the entry is a market order and the stop and target execute at market when they trigger.

In demo the engine trades this paper account and does not read the exchange balance at all — so your own positions on the exchange can neither size its trades nor trip its daily-loss cap.

Side filter

The two manual switches below, plus an optional automatic mode: the same two sides switched off automatically from the Net Pressure reading instead of by hand — trend-following, the opposite direction from the Net Pressure gate card's contrarian rule, with its own timeframe, source and thresholds, independent of the gate.

Trading styles

A style decides when to trade — position size and risk are set once, in the Risk card below. Enabling a style starts it on the engine's very next scan; disabling one stops it just as immediately. Confirmed requires the 4h bias to agree, independent does not. Auto executes by itself, manual waits for approval in the desktop panel's Position tab.
Settings opens that style's own inputs — lengths, thresholds, filters. They apply to the running engine immediately; the stop and target always come from the Risk card, whatever a style's own geometry says.
Webhook: … — Pine / webhook styles only get signals while the TradingView webhook is on. There is no switch here on purpose: turning it on is an edit of the server's config.yaml (app.webhook.enabled: true) plus an engine restart.

Runs & history

A run is a stretch of trading under one set of settings. Starting a new one records the settings in force and makes every statistic, the drawdown and the daily loss cap count from that moment — so a fresh test is never held back by the previous one’s losses. Nothing is deleted: the Performance page can still show any earlier run, which is the only way to tell whether a change actually helped.

Risk

Every position, from every style, is sized here — a trading style decides when to trade, never how much. You set how many positions may run at once, how many of those may sit on the same symbol, and how much of the balance may be committed in total; the engine divides that into the size of one position.
Where a trade ENDS is not here — the stop, the target and the trailing stop are all in the Exit card below. Casper (2026-09-16): they were split across two cards and it was not clear which one won.

Net Pressure gate

Uses the Net Pressure line from the liquidations feed to decide which direction the engine is allowed to take. The rule is contrarian in both directions: deep negative means longs are being flushed, so only longs are opened — you are buying the capitulation, not joining it — and deep positive means shorts are being squeezed, so only shorts are opened. A refused signal is still written to the log as rejected, with the reading in its note, so the Performance page can show what the gate cost.

Exit

How a trade ends, in the order it happens. Every number here is ROI on the margin — the same percentage the Positions page shows, not a move in price. At 10× leverage, 10% ROI is a 1% move.

1 · When it opens — the levels every new position starts with.

2 · Once it is winning — the stop climbs into profit and the target moves up with it (or steps aside).

Move up: the target stays the same distance above the stop — each rung the stop climbs, the target climbs too (stop +5% / target +40%, then +10% / +45%, ...). The gap is the position's own initial target + stop unless you set one here; it must be larger than Step + (Arm at − Lock in), or a new target could land at or below the price and fill at once. Remove: the target disappears when the trail arms (the old behaviour).

3 · Manual positions — the trail for positions you open from the Positions page. Separate from the bot’s above, with its own Save: it can be set up whether the bot’s trailing is on or off and whether the engine is in Bot or Manual mode. Their initial stop and target are the card’s own Stop % and Take-profit %; what the target does when the trail moves is set below (positions adopted from the exchange trail by these settings too).

Users

admin: everything, this card included. trader: every page, the Create position card, and Trail / Set TP / Close on manual and External positions — no settings, no Bot/Manual switch, no Force Close All, no bot positions. viewer: looks only. The admin account and the last admin cannot be deleted, disabled or demoted; nobody can delete or disable themself. Changing a password or disabling a user logs them out everywhere at once.

Create a user — username 3–32 characters (letters, digits, _ . -, unique whatever the case), password at least 8 characters.
