AI Trader

AI Trader is the only TopMover surface that executes trades. It runs the owner's own experimental capital ($20 → $100 USDT) on Binance Futures, and the dashboard is read-only for everyone except the owner.

It exists for two reasons:

1. Stress-test our signals with real PnL. A signal that looks good in screenshots needs to survive slippage, funding drag, and the trader's emotional drift. Auto-executing removes the trader.
2. Be a transparent counterexample to "AI trading" projects. Almost every public AI-trading project shows screenshots and not PnL. Our dashboard makes the inverse promise: every decision, its reasoning, its execution, and its outcome are visible.

Architecture

We deliberately did not put the LLM in the decision loop.

[Rules engine]           ← decides enter / exit using Signals + Coin Radar
       ↓
[Risk gate]              ← rejects anything that breaches caps
       ↓
[Execution]              ← places orders on Binance Futures (testnet → mainnet)
       ↓
[LLM narrator]           ← writes "why we did this" asynchronously into the log
                           — does NOT gate the trade

The LLM writes prose into the decision log so a human can audit, but the actual buy/sell decision is a deterministic rule. This is why we'll never claim "the AI is trading"; we'll claim "the AI is explaining the trade the rules made."

Risk caps (hardcoded in P0)

• Single position notional ≤ $30 USDT (~1/3 of capital).
• Max leverage ≤ 3×.
• Every entry carries a hard stop-loss at −3% and a take-profit ladder (+5% / +10%).
• Daily realized loss cap = −$10 USDT (auto-halt 24h).
• Total drawdown stop = −30% (auto-halt, manual restart required).
• Max concurrent positions ≤ 3.

A red STOP ALL button on the dashboard closes everything instantly, regardless of state.

Phasing

We are currently pre-P0. The dashboard renders with mock data that mimics a plausible P2 mainnet run, so the layout and risk gauges can be reviewed before any engine work begins.

Access

The page itself is gated to the owner email via a feature flag (isAiTradingUser). Non-owners see a 404; the route is not discoverable.

What you can see on the dashboard

• Strategy name + version + starting capital + current equity.
• 6 KPI cards: cumulative PnL, volume, trade count, win rate, Sharpe, max drawdown.
• 4 risk gauges with live caps: daily loss used, current leverage, top position share, concurrent positions.
• Equity curve (SVG sparkline).
• A tabbed activity widget: Positions / Open Orders / Order History / Transaction History.
• A vertical Decision Log on the right, showing every decision the rules engine made — including the ones the risk gate rejected — with the LLM's prose explaining why.
• Halt history with every auto-halt event, its trigger, and when it cleared.
