What it does

• Exchange accounts with trade-only API keys (Binance, OKX, Bybit, Bitget; live, testnet, paper)

• Trading terminal: candle chart with indicators, order ticket (market/limit/stop), leverage, margin mode, reduce/post-only
• Smart Trade: up to 5 entries, up to 10 take-profits, trailing TP, trailing SL, breakeven after TPn, SL steps, timeout, risk-based sizing

You need

• Node.js >= 22.9 and pnpm 10 (the Docker image uses node:22-slim)
• TypeScript build to dist/ (pnpm build); production start node --env-file-if-exists=.env dist/src/index.js (no tsx at run
• Docker and Docker Compose for the one-command install (install.sh), or a plain Node.js host
• Database: SQLite (better-sqlite3, native build) for one box or PostgreSQL
• KESTREL_MASTER_KEY (32 random bytes, base64); losing it makes stored API keys unreadable
