🚀 Quick Start Guide

1. Initial Setup (One-time)

# Navigate to project
cd "Smart Automatic Trading BOT + AI"

# Create environment file
copy docker\.env.docker.example .env

# Edit .env with your MT5 credentials
notepad .env

Required credentials in .env:

MT5_LOGIN=your_login
MT5_PASSWORD=your_password
MT5_SERVER=your_server
MT5_PATH=/path/to/mt5/terminal

2. Start Services (Windows)

Option A: Using helper script (Recommended)

REM Start core services
docker\scripts\docker-start.bat

REM Or start with pgAdmin
docker\scripts\docker-start.bat --admin

Option B: Manual docker-compose

REM Build and start
docker-compose up -d

REM With pgAdmin
docker-compose --profile admin up -d

3. Access the Dashboard

Open your browser and go to:

• Dashboard: http://localhost:3000

You'll see:

• Real-time price updates
• Account balance and equity
• Trading signals (SMC + ML)
• Market regime
• Open positions
• Risk status
• Activity logs

4. Check Other Services

• API Docs: http://localhost:8000/docs
• API Health: http://localhost:8000/api/health
• API Status: http://localhost:8000/api/status
• pgAdmin: http://localhost:5050 (if started with --admin)

📋 Common Commands

View Logs

REM All services
docker\scripts\docker-logs.bat

REM Specific service
docker\scripts\docker-logs.bat trading-api
docker\scripts\docker-logs.bat dashboard
docker\scripts\docker-logs.bat postgres

Check Status

docker-compose ps

Restart Services

REM Restart all
docker-compose restart

REM Restart specific
docker-compose restart trading-api
docker-compose restart dashboard

Stop Services

REM Stop (keeps data)
docker\scripts\docker-stop.bat

REM Stop and remove containers (keeps data)
docker\scripts\docker-stop.bat --remove

REM Stop and remove everything including data (⚠️ DANGER!)
docker\scripts\docker-stop.bat --clean

Update Code and Rebuild

REM Pull latest code
git pull

REM Rebuild and restart
docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d

🔧 Configuration

Port Configuration

Default ports can be changed in .env:

API_PORT=8000          # Trading API
DASHBOARD_PORT=3000    # Web Dashboard
DB_PORT=5432          # PostgreSQL
PGADMIN_PORT=5050     # pgAdmin

Environment Variables

All configuration is in .env:

Category	Variables
MT5	MT5_LOGIN, MT5_PASSWORD, MT5_SERVER, MT5_PATH
Trading	SYMBOL, CAPITAL
Database	DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME
Telegram	TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN, TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID
Ports	API_PORT, DASHBOARD_PORT, DB_PORT, PGADMIN_PORT

🐛 Troubleshooting

Dashboard Shows "Connection Error"

Check if API is running:

curl http://localhost:8000/api/health

View API logs:

docker\scripts\docker-logs.bat trading-api

Port Already in Use

Find what's using the port:

netstat -ano | findstr :3000
netstat -ano | findstr :8000

Change port in .env:

DASHBOARD_PORT=3001
API_PORT=8001

Restart services:

docker-compose down
docker-compose up -d

Can't Connect to MT5

1. Check credentials in .env
2. Ensure MT5 terminal is accessible
3. View API logs for connection errors:

   docker\scripts\docker-logs.bat trading-api
   

Database Connection Issues

Check database health:

docker-compose ps postgres

Test connection:

docker exec -it trading_bot_db pg_isready -U trading_bot

View database logs:

docker\scripts\docker-logs.bat postgres

📊 Monitoring

View Real-time Logs

REM Follow all logs
docker-compose logs -f

REM Follow specific service
docker-compose logs -f trading-api

Check Resource Usage

docker stats

Service Health

REM All services
docker-compose ps

REM Detailed info
docker inspect trading_bot_api
docker inspect trading_bot_dashboard

🔐 Security Notes

1. Never commit .env file - It contains sensitive credentials
2. Change default passwords - Especially for database and pgAdmin
3. Use strong passwords - For all services
4. Limit port exposure - Only expose ports you need
5. Keep Docker updated - Regular security updates
