Unit8 is an open-source, modular framework for building, testing, and running autonomous trading systems.
Its goal is simple:
To create a trading brain that works seamlessly across MetaTrader5 and Crypto exchanges (CCXT) — without rewriting a single line of strategy code.

• Cross-Broker Engine:
  A unified API for trading on MT5 and CCXT exchanges (Binance, OKX, KuCoin, ...)

• Dual Backtesting Core:
  Choose between two backtesting engines:
  → Backtrader for detailed simulation
  → Vectorbt for ultra-fast parameter testing

• Modular Strategy System:
  Design, test, and run multiple strategies in one environment —
  from Ichimoku and EMA crosses to custom algorithmic models.

• Smart Risk Manager:
  Position sizing based on balance percentage, real spread, and commission

  • automatic daily loss and volume limits.

• Dynamic Spread Control:
  Avoids trading during abnormal spreads or high-volatility periods (e.g., news events).

• Fundamental Shield:
  News-aware module that pauses trading during impactful economic events.

• Unified Execution Interface:
  The same strategy code works in both live and backtest modes.

• Telegram & Dashboard Integration (Unit24):
  Telegram bot for quick monitoring + Next.js dashboard for full control.

“A trader doesn’t predict the market — he harmonizes with it.”

Unit8 is built for flexibility.
Each module is independent and fully testable.
Every layer (data, strategy, risk, execution) is decoupled but works together like a well-tuned orchestra.
