What's Inside

This is a complete, ready-to-run trading system — not a boilerplate or starter template. You get the full source code for both the backend and frontend:

• Node.js/Express backend with MongoDB, JWT authentication, AES-256 encryption, WebSocket real-time updates, and a full market analysis engine
• React frontend with Tailwind CSS, dark mode, 3 trading dashboards (backtesting, paper, live), equity charts, trade tables, and a searchable pair selector with 100+ Binance Futures pairs
• Bidirectional Elliott Wave engine detecting both LONG and SHORT signals with Fibonacci validation, RSI divergence, ATR volatility guards, and volume confirmation
• 5-layer institutional defense system: trailing stop-loss with breakeven, partial take-profit, ADX trend filter, multi-timeframe EMA confirmation, and consecutive loss cooldown
• Notification system with Email (Nodemailer), Telegram Bot, WebSocket, and in-app channels
• Full risk management: max daily loss, max drawdown, max open trades, position sizing, leverage control (1x–125x)

3 Trading Modes

Backtesting — Test strategies against historical data with full performance analytics including win rate, profit factor, Sharpe ratio, max drawdown, return on capital, and equity curves.

Paper Trading — Simulated execution against live market prices with zero risk. All defense layers active in real time.

Live Trading — Real execution on Binance Futures with your API keys. Includes all defense layers, risk limits, and real-time WebSocket updates.

The Analysis Engine

The system uses an Elliott Wave gatekeeper that requires a minimum of 3 additional confirmations before any trade executes. Signal sources include:

• 10 candlestick patterns (hammer, shooting star, doji, marubozu, etc.)
• 8 chart patterns (head & shoulders, double top/bottom, wedges, triangles)
• 7 technical indicators with 20+ signal types (RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Stochastic, SMA/EMA crossovers, Volume, Fibonacci)
• Support & resistance level detection
• ADX trend strength filter — rejects signals in choppy markets
• Multi-timeframe EMA confirmation — eliminates counter-trend trades

5-Layer Defense System

An institutional-grade protection layer that works across all three trading modes:

1. Trailing Stop-Loss + Breakeven — ATR-based trailing stop with automatic breakeven when price moves 1R in your favor
2. Partial Take-Profit — 50% closed at TP1 (Fibonacci 1.618), remainder rides to TP2 with trailing stop
3. ADX Trend Filter — Rejects signals when ADX is below 20 (ranging/choppy market)
4. MTF EMA Confirmation — Checks higher timeframe EMA(50) slope to align with trend direction
5. Consecutive Loss Cooldown — Pauses trading on a symbol after 3 consecutive losses to prevent revenge trading

All 5 layers are individually configurable per user from the Settings page.

Quick Start (5 minutes)

1. Install Node.js
   Download and install Node.js LTS from nodejs.org. Verify installation by running node --version in your terminal — must show v18.0.0 or higher.
2. Install and Start MongoDB
   Option A: Use MongoDB Atlas (free cloud tier — easiest). Create an account, create a free M0 cluster, whitelist your IP, and copy the connection string.
   Option B: Install MongoDB Community Server locally and ensure the service is running.
3. Extract the Project
   Extract the downloaded ZIP file to your desired location (e.g., your Desktop).
4. Install Dependencies
   Open a terminal in the project root folder and run: npm run install:all
   This installs all dependencies for the root, server, and client. Takes 2–5 minutes.
5. Configure Environment
   Copy server/.env.example to server/.env and edit it:
   — Set MONGODB_URI to your MongoDB connection string (must include database name, e.g., mongodb://localhost:27017/crypto_trading)
   — Generate JWT secrets and encryption keys using: node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(32).toString('hex'))"
   — Email and Telegram settings are optional.
6. Start the Application
   Run npm run dev from the project root. This starts both the server (port 5000) and client (port 3000).
7. Open in Browser
   Go to http://localhost:3000. Register an account, log in, and run your first backtest from the Backtesting Dashboard.

Troubleshooting

The README includes a comprehensive troubleshooting section covering all common setup issues:

• Server crashes silently — check server/logs/exceptions-YYYY-MM-DD.log for the actual error
• Module not found errors — verify all files exist in the correct directories
• MongoDB connection fails — ensure MongoDB is running and the URI includes a database name
• Backtest returns 0 trades — try wider date ranges or temporarily disable the ADX filter
• Port already in use — kill the existing process or change the port in .env
• How to generate secure keys for JWT, encryption key, and IV
