## 🚀 Live Trading System (cTrader + FTMO)
|
||||
|
||||
### Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Predix includes a **complete live trading system** that executes strategies on cTrader via Open API with FTMO broker.
|
||||
|
||||
**All live trading code is CLOSED SOURCE** and stored in `git_ignore_folder/` (never committed to Git).
|
||||
|
||||
### Architecture

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
1. **cTrader Account** with FTMO broker
|
||||
2. **cTrader Open API** credentials: https://developers.ctrader.com/
|
||||
- Client ID
|
||||
- Client Secret
|
||||
- Broker ID
|
||||
- Access Token
|
||||
3. **Python 3.10+** with `requests`, `pandas`, `numpy`, `python-dotenv`
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup cTrader API
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Register Application:**
|
||||
- Go to https://developers.ctrader.com/
|
||||
- Login with your cTrader credentials
|
||||
- Create new application
|
||||
- Note down: Client ID, Client Secret, Broker ID
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Generate Access Token:**
|
||||
- OAuth2 flow or generate in dashboard
|
||||
- Token expires - refresh as needed
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Configure .env:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Add to .env file:
|
||||
CTRADE_API_BASE=https://api.ctrader.com
|
||||
CTRADE_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
|
||||
CTRADE_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
|
||||
CTRADE_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_access_token
|
||||
CTRADE_BROKER_ID=your_broker_id
|
||||
|
||||
# Trading parameters
|
||||
TRADING_SYMBOL=EURUSD
|
||||
TRADING_TIMEFRAME=M1
|
||||
DEFAULT_LOT_SIZE=0.01
|
||||
MAX_DAILY_LOSS_PCT=2.0
|
||||
MAX_POSITIONS=1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. **Strategy Loading**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Loads strategy from JSON
|
||||
strategy = json.load(open('results/strategies_new/123_MomentumDivergenceZScore.json'))
|
||||
code = strategy['code'] # Strategy Python code
|
||||
factors = strategy['factor_names'] # Factor names list
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. **Factor Calculation**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Computes factors from live OHLCV
|
||||
ohlcv = client.get_ohlcv('EURUSD', 'M1', count=1000)
|
||||
factors_df = compute_factors(ohlcv)
|
||||
# Calculates: daily_close_return_96, daily_session_momentum_divergence_1d, etc.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 3. **Signal Generation**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Executes strategy code
|
||||
exec(strategy_code, {'factors': factors_df}, local_vars)
|
||||
signal = local_vars['signal'] # 1=LONG, -1=SHORT, 0=NEUTRAL
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 4. **Order Execution**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
if signal != last_signal and signal != 0:
|
||||
# Close opposite positions
|
||||
if signal == 1: close_all_shorts()
|
||||
if signal == -1: close_all_longs()
|
||||
|
||||
# Place new order
|
||||
client.place_order(
|
||||
symbol='EURUSD',
|
||||
side='LONG' if signal == 1 else 'SHORT',
|
||||
lot_size=calculate_position_size(),
|
||||
stop_loss=0.0050, # 50 pips
|
||||
take_profit=0.0100, # 100 pips
|
||||
comment='Predix-{strategy_name}'
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 5. **Risk Management**
|
||||
- **Daily Loss Limit:** Stops trading if daily loss > 2%
|
||||
- **Max Positions:** Only 1 position at a time
|
||||
- **Position Sizing:** Dynamic based on balance and ATR
|
||||
- **Stop Loss:** 50 pips automatic
|
||||
- **Take Profit:** 100 pips automatic
|
||||
|
||||

### CLI Options
|
||||

||||
|
||||
### Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
#### Log Files
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# View trade log
|
||||
cat results/live_trading/trades_*.json | jq .
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
[
|
||||
{
|
||||
"timestamp": "2026-04-07T12:05:30",
|
||||
"signal": 1,
|
||||
"side": "LONG",
|
||||
"lot_size": 0.01,
|
||||
"result": { "orderId": "12345", "price": 1.08500 }
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### ⚠️ Critical Warnings
|
||||
|
||||
1. **ALWAYS test in paper mode first** - Never go live without testing
|
||||
2. **Start small** - Use 0.01 lots initially
|
||||
3. **Monitor daily** - Check logs every day
|
||||
4. **FTMO rules** - Respect max drawdown limits (usually 10%)
|
||||
5. **Token expiry** - Refresh API tokens before they expire
|
||||
6. **Internet required** - System stops if connection drops
|
||||
7. **No guarantees** - Past performance ≠ future results
|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|
||||
|-------|-------|----------|
|
||||
| "Connection failed" | Wrong API credentials | Check .env values |
|
||||
| "No OHLCV data" | cTrader not running | Start cTrader platform |
|
||||
| "Signal error" | Missing factors | Strategy needs factors not in live data |
|
||||
| "Order failed" | Insufficient margin | Check FTMO account balance |
|
||||
| "Daily loss limit" | Hit 2% daily loss | System stopped - wait for next day |
|
||||
|
||||
### cTrader API Endpoints
|
||||
|
||||
The system uses these cTrader Open API endpoints:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
GET /api/accounts # Get account info
|
||||
GET /api/positions # Get open positions
|
||||
GET /api/cbars # Get OHLCV data
|
||||
POST /api/orders # Place order
|
||||
DELETE /api/positions/{id} # Close position
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
