Live Portfolio
Paper vs real, exchange credentials, risk controls.
Paper trading first
Every new account starts in paper mode. The bot trades virtual capital against live prices so you can verify behavior before risking real funds.
Flip to real on /account → Bot once you're comfortable. You can flip back to paper anytime.
Exchange credentials & security
Add API keys on /account → Vault. We require: - Trade permission ✓ - Read permission ✓ - Withdraw permission ✗ — disabled, and we ask you to disable it on the exchange too
Keys are encrypted with AES-256-GCM at rest. Decryption key lives in a separate secret store; the database alone can't decrypt them.
Risk controls
On /account → Bot: - Allocation — $ amount the bot can deploy (default $1,000) - Max position % — cap per single position (default 60% of allocation) - Dry run — emergency switch; bot computes but doesn't send orders
The engine itself never uses leverage > 1× and never shorts spot (short sleeves run on perp accounts only).
