FreeTrade

Synopsis

FreeTrade pairs a FastAPI backend with a React frontend so the operator can monitor account health, recent trades, and bot activity at a glance. The README positions it as a practical monitoring cockpit for live FX execution rather than a noisy analytics dashboard.

README Highlights

• Live balance, margin, and daily P&L tracking.
• Recent trade activity with fast refresh and clear status signals.
• Start and stop controls for the trading bot.
• Authenticated dashboard built for always-on monitoring.

Command Center Surface

The App focuses on a clean command room with bot status, account balance, margin, daily P&L, and recent fills all on one screen. The visual design leans into readable spacing and clear signal colors so operators can check state quickly without digging through multiple views.

Backend Stack

Local setup utilizes FastAPI for the backend API, React for the dashboard client, and environment variables for the OANDA account credentials and AI provider key. The workflow is built for quick local startup with uvicorn on the API side and npm run dev in the web app.
