 ====== Trading terminal ====== ====== Trading terminal ======
  
-**A commercial trading tool for crypto exchanges – in the concept stage.**+Trading terminal (''trade-term'') is a commercial tool for trading on crypto exchanges, with a web interface: live charts with indicators, a paper (simulated) account, backtesting, and **Pulse** — its own scripting language for writing indicators and strategies. Part of the [[stratum:start|Stratum]] project.
  
-Trading terminal is a planned commercial tool intended mainly for trading on crypto exchanges. Part of the [[stratum:start|Stratum]] project. +<note important> 
-</WRAP>+**Technical preview.** Trading terminal is proprietary commercial software, used under a subscription licence — not free or open-source software, and not under the GPL.

-<WRAP center round important 80%> +<code>sudo apt install trade-term</code>
-**Concept stage.** The project is being designed, and it is being studied whether it will materialise at all. Its future depends on that decision: the project will either be carried out or retired. This page is a concept as well – it describes intentions, not a finished product. +
-</WRAP>+
  
-===== Where the project stands =====+This also installs ''trade-term-pulse'' (the Pulse standard library). The optional handbook:
  
-^ State | Concept and feasibility study | +<code>sudo apt install trade-term-handbook</code>
-^ Purpose | Trading, mainly on crypto exchanges | +
-^ Licence | Proprietary, commercial – subscription (not free/open-source, not GPL) | +
-^ Decision | Pending – the project is carried out or retired | +
-^ Package | ''trade-term'' 0.05 (non-free, binary-only) – marks the project only, no trading functions |+
  
-===== The idea =====+Open the web interface at ''https://<your-host>:8444'' and sign in. A valid subscription licence for the feature "trade-term" is required to operate; licences are handled by ''stratum-license'' (hardware ID, licence request, signed licence file).
  
-Trading terminal is meant to bring trading on crypto exchanges into one tool on a Debian host running Stratum.+===== What it does =====
  
-If the project is carried out, it will not start from nothing: it will build on certain existing infrastructure, which will be adapted to this tool.+  * **Live charts** — candlesticks from public exchange data (through CCXT), with built-in indicators (EMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands). 
 +  * **Paper trading** — a simulated account with market orders, fees and slippage; no real orders. 
 +  * **Backtesting** — run strategies over historical candles with return, drawdown and trade statistics. 
 +  * **Pulse** — a small, safe Pine-like language for your own indicators and strategies, with a live editor (syntax highlighting, as-you-type checking, an inputs form) and a standard library of ready-made scripts. 
 +  * **Exchange API keys** — stored encrypted on the server; used only with trade-only keys. 
 +  * **Live trading** — place real orders under strict safeguards: per-order and daily limits, an allowed-symbols list, a two-step confirmation and a kill-switch. Off by default. 
 +  * **Trading sessions** — attach a Pulse strategy to a market and let it trade automatically on each closed candle; several sessions run at once, in paper or live mode.
  
-===== Licence =====+===== Packages =====
  
-Trading terminal is **proprietary commercial software**, used under a **subscription licence**. It is not free or open-source software and not released under the GPL.+  * ''trade-term'' — the application (non-free). 
 +  * ''trade-term-pulse'' — the Pulse standard library (required dependency). 
 +  * ''trade-term-handbook'' — the user guide and the Pulse language reference, shown as a //Handbook// tab inside the web interface (optional).
  
-  * A valid subscription licence for the feature ''trade-term'' is required to operate. Licences are handled by [[stratum:start|stratum-license]] – a hardware ID and licence request on the computer, a signed licence file in return – the same mechanism as for remote support. +===== How it is built =====
-  * Reverse engineering, decompilation, disassembly and circumvention of the licence are prohibited. +
-  * The package is published **binary-only** – there is no source package in the repository.+
  
-===== Planned design =====+A single self-contained Go service with an embedded Vue.js web interface, on its own HTTPS port with users, roles and two-factor sign-in — in the same spirit as [[vm-reactor:start|VM Reactor]].
  
-Only if the project is carried out – nothing of this exists yet:+^ Layer | Choice | 
 +^ Backend | Go — one self-contained service, embedded web assets, own HTTPS port, systemd, users/roles + 2FA | 
 +^ Frontend | Vue.js | 
 +^ Charts | TradingView Lightweight Charts (Apache-2.0) with an own indicator layer | 
 +^ Exchanges | CCXT, run as a sidecar (Node), for public market data and order routing | 
 +^ Scripting | Pulse — an own Pine-like language, interpreted in Go | 
 +^ Licensing | stratum-license, feature ''trade-term'' (subscription) |
  
-  * **Web interface** – the tool will work in the browser, in the same spirit as [[vm-reactor:start|VM Reactor]]. +  * **Go backend** — orchestrates market data, indicators, the Pulse engine, trading sessions, the licence check and the web API and UI. One binary. 
-  * **Backend in Go** – a single, self-contained service, like VM Reactor, shipped stripped and binary-only. +  * **CCXT sidecar (Node)** — exchange connectivity: public market data, and order routing for live trading. It runs unprivileged, and credentials are handed to it only through the environment, never the command line. 
-  * **Commercial** – licensed per subscription through stratum-license. +  * **Indicators** — computed in the backend (EMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger, …) and drawn with Lightweight Charts. The same calculation serves charting, backtesting and live sessions. 
-  * **Part of Stratum** – a package in the //non-free// component of the Stratum repository, for Debian 13 (trixie) and Debian 14 (forky).+  * **Pulse engine** — the Go interpreter for user indicators and strategies; one engine checks a script, runs it on a chart, backtests it and drives live sessions. 
 +  * **Trading sessions** — a session manager: each session pairs a strategy with a market and runs supervised (running or stopped), with its own position and the live-trading safeguards. Paper by default; live is a separate, deliberate switch.
  
-===== The package today =====+===== Security =====
  
-The package ''trade-term'' is already in the Stratum repository. It contains no trading functions, does not connect to any exchange and stores no keys – it only marks the project, shows its state and checks the licence:+  * Exchange API keys can move funds, so they are the most sensitive part: encrypted at rest, meant for trade-only keys (no withdrawal), with per-order and daily limits and a kill-switch. 
 +  * Live trading is off by default and stays blocked until limits are set; paper trading needs no private keys at all. 
 +  * The licence is checked at start and periodically.
  
-The package is in the component **non-free** of the Stratum repository; current versions of ''stratum-init'' and ''stratum-archive-keyring'' add it to the APT source by themselves (''Components: main contrib non-free''). It depends on ''stratum-license''.+===== Risk and compliance =====
  
-<code> +Automated trading with real funds carries financial risk, and nothing here is financial advice. Strategies must comply with the exchanges' terms of service and with the law (no market manipulation). Start with paper trading, tight limits and a small scale.

-A subscription licence is required for the tool to operate once it has functions; obtain and install one with ''stratum license''.+===== Handbook =====
  
-===== What comes next =====+The handbook (package ''trade-term-handbook'') covers the web interface and the Pulse language, with a complete function reference and worked examples.

 +===== Licence =====
  
-The concept is being worked out and its feasibility studied. When the decision is made, this page will say so: either the project starts – with installation instructions, documentation and screenshots here – or it is retired.+Proprietary commercial software, used under a subscription licence (monthly or yearly); each feature expires on its own date. Reverse engineering, decompilation, disassembly and circumvention of the licence are prohibited. Published binary-only.
