📑 Table of Contents


🚀 Universal AI Trading Operating System

NOFX is a universal Agentic Trading OS built on a unified architecture. We've successfully closed the loop in crypto markets: "Multi-Agent Decision → Unified Risk Control → Low-Latency Execution → Live/Paper Account Backtesting", and are now expanding this same technology stack to stocks, futures, options, forex, and all financial markets.

🎯 Core Features

  • Universal Data & Backtesting Layer: Cross-market, cross-timeframe, cross-exchange unified representation and factor library, accumulating transferable "strategy memory"
  • Multi-Agent Self-Play & Self-Evolution: Strategies automatically compete and select the best, continuously iterating based on account-level PnL and risk constraints
  • Integrated Execution & Risk Control: Low-latency routing, slippage/risk control sandbox, account-level limits, one-click market switching

  1. Open MetaMask (or any Ethereum wallet)
  2. Export your private key
  3. Remove the 0x prefix from the key
  4. Fund your wallet on Hyperliquid

Step 2: Configure config.json for Hyperliquid Configure through web interface

{
  "traders": [
    {
      "id": "hyperliquid_trader",
      "name": "My Hyperliquid Trader",
      "enabled": true,
      "ai_model": "deepseek",
      "exchange": "hyperliquid",
      "hyperliquid_private_key": "your_private_key_without_0x",
      "hyperliquid_wallet_addr": "your_ethereum_address",
      "hyperliquid_testnet": false,
      "deepseek_key": "sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxx",

~~Default Trading Coins (when use_default_coins: true):

  • BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, XRP, DOGE, ADA, HYPE~~

Note: Trading coins are now configured through the web interface


⚙️ Leverage Configuration (v2.0.3+)

What is leverage configuration?

The leverage settings control the maximum leverage the AI can use for each trade. This is crucial for risk management, especially for Binance subaccounts which have leverage restrictions.

Configuration format:

"leverage": {
  "btc_eth_leverage": 5,    // Maximum leverage for BTC and ETH
  "altcoin_leverage": 5      // Maximum leverage for all other coins
}

Note: Leverage is now configured through the web interface

⚠️ Important: Binance Subaccount Restrictions

  • Subaccounts: Limited to ≤5x leverage by Binance
  • Main accounts: Can use up to 20x (altcoins) or 50x (BTC/ETH)
  • If you're using a subaccount and set leverage >5x, trades will fail with error: Subaccounts are restricted from using leverage greater than 5x

Recommended settings:

Account Type BTC/ETH Leverage Altcoin Leverage Risk Level
Subaccount 5 5 ✅ Safe (default)
Main (Conservative) 10 10 🟡 Medium
Main (Aggressive) 20 15 🔴 High
Main (Maximum) 50 20 🔴🔴 Very High

Examples:

Safe configuration (subaccount or conservative):

"leverage": {
  "btc_eth_leverage": 5,
  "altcoin_leverage": 5
}

Aggressive configuration (main account only):

"leverage": {
  "btc_eth_leverage": 20,
  "altcoin_leverage": 15
}

Note: Leverage configuration is now done through the web interface

How AI uses leverage:

  • AI can choose any leverage from 1x up to your configured maximum
  • For example, with altcoin_leverage: 20, AI might decide to use 5x, 10x, or 20x based on market conditions
  • The configuration sets the upper limit, not a fixed value
  • AI considers volatility, risk-reward ratio, and account balance when choosing leverage

⚠️ Important: use_default_coins Field

Smart Default Behavior (v2.0.2+):

The system now automatically defaults to use_default_coins: true if:

  • You don't include this field in config.json, OR
  • You set it to false but don't provide coin_pool_api_url

This makes it beginner-friendly! You can even omit this field entirely.

Configuration Examples:

Option 1: Explicitly set (Recommended for clarity)

"use_default_coins": true,
"coin_pool_api_url": "",
"oi_top_api_url": ""

Option 2: Omit the field (uses default coins automatically)

// Just don't include "use_default_coins" at all
"coin_pool_api_url": "",
"oi_top_api_url": ""

⚙️ Advanced: Use external API

"use_default_coins": false,
"coin_pool_api_url": "http://your-api.com/coins",
"oi_top_api_url": "http://your-api.com/oi"

6. Run the System

🚀 Starting the System (2 steps)

The system has 2 parts that run separately:

  1. Backend (AI trading brain + API)
  2. Frontend (Web dashboard for monitoring)

Step 1: Start the Backend

Open a terminal and run:

# Build the program (first time only, or after code changes)
go build -o nofx

# Start the backend
./nofx

What you should see:

🚀 启动自动交易系统...
✓ Trader [my_trader] 已初始化
✓ API服务器启动在端口 8080
📊 开始交易监控...

⚠️ If you see errors:

Error Message Solution
invalid API key Check your Binance API key in config.json
TA-Lib not found Run brew install ta-lib (macOS)
port 8080 already in use Change api_server_port in config.json Change API_PORT in .env file
DeepSeek API error Verify your DeepSeek API key and balance

✅ Backend is running correctly when you see:

  • No error messages
  • "开始交易监控..." appears
  • System shows account balance
  • Keep this terminal window open!

Step 2: Start the Frontend

Open a NEW terminal window (keep the first one running!), then:

cd web
npm run dev

What you should see:

VITE v5.x.x  ready in xxx ms

➜  Local:   http://localhost:3000/
➜  Network: use --host to expose

✅ Frontend is running when you see:


Step 3: Access the Dashboard

Open your web browser and visit:

🌐 http://localhost:3000

What you'll see:

  • 📊 Real-time account balance
  • 📈 Open positions (if any)
  • 🤖 AI decision logs
  • 📉 Equity curve chart

First-time tips:

  • It may take 3-5 minutes for the first AI decision
  • Initial decisions might say "观望" (wait) - this is normal
  • AI needs to analyze market conditions first

7. Monitor the System

What to watch:

Healthy System Signs:

  • Backend terminal shows decision cycles every 3-5 minutes
  • No continuous error messages
  • Account balance updates
  • Web dashboard refreshes automatically

⚠️ Warning Signs:

  • Repeated API errors
  • No decisions for 10+ minutes
  • Balance decreasing rapidly

Checking System Status:

# In a new terminal window
curl http://localhost:8080/api/health

Should return: {"status":"ok"}


8. Stop the System

Graceful Shutdown (Recommended):

  1. Go to the backend terminal (the first one)
  2. Press Ctrl+C
  3. Wait for "系统已停止" message
  4. Go to the frontend terminal (the second one)
  5. Press Ctrl+C

⚠️ Important:

  • Always stop the backend first
  • Wait for confirmation before closing terminals
  • Don't force quit (don't close terminal directly)

📖 AI Decision Flow

Each decision cycle (default 3 minutes), the system executes the following intelligent process:

Step 1: 📊 Analyze Historical Performance (last 20 cycles)

  • ✓ Calculate overall win rate, avg profit, P/L ratio
  • ✓ Per-coin statistics (win rate, avg P/L in USDT)
  • ✓ Identify best/worst performing coins
  • ✓ List last 5 trade details with accurate PnL
  • ✓ Calculate Sharpe ratio for risk-adjusted performance
  • 📌 NEW (v2.0.2): Accurate USDT PnL with leverage

Step 2: 💰 Get Account Status

  • Total equity & available balance
  • Number of open positions & unrealized P/L
  • Margin usage rate (AI manages up to 90%)
  • Daily P/L tracking & drawdown monitoring

Step 3: 🔍 Analyze Existing Positions (if any)

  • For each position, fetch latest market data
  • Calculate real-time technical indicators:
    • 3min K-line: RSI(7), MACD, EMA20
    • 4hour K-line: RSI(14), EMA20/50, ATR
  • Track position holding duration (e.g., "2h 15min")
  • 📌 NEW (v2.0.2): Shows how long each position held
  • Display: Entry price, current price, P/L%, duration
  • AI evaluates: Should hold or close?

Step 4: 🎯 Evaluate New Opportunities (candidate coins)

  • Fetch coin pool (2 modes):
    • 🌟 Default Mode: BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, XRP, etc.
    • ⚙️ Advanced Mode: AI500 (top 20) + OI Top (top 20)
  • Merge & deduplicate candidate coins
  • Filter: Remove low liquidity (<15M USD OI value)
  • Batch fetch market data + technical indicators
  • Calculate volatility, trend strength, volume surge

Step 5: 🧠 AI Comprehensive Decision (DeepSeek/Qwen)

  • Review historical feedback:
    • Recent win rate & profit factor
    • Best/worst coins performance
    • Avoid repeating mistakes
  • Analyze all raw sequence data:
    • 3min price sequences, 4hour K-line sequences
    • Complete indicator sequences (not just latest)
    • 📌 NEW (v2.0.2): AI has full freedom to analyze
  • Chain of Thought (CoT) reasoning process
  • Output structured decisions:
    • Action: close_long / close_short / open_long / open_short
    • Coin symbol, quantity, leverage
    • Stop-loss & take-profit levels (≥1:2 ratio)
  • Decision: Wait / Hold / Close / Open

Step 6: ⚡ Execute Trades

  • Priority order: Close existing → Then open new
  • Risk checks before execution:
    • Position size limits (1.5x for altcoins, 10x BTC)
    • No duplicate positions (same coin + direction)
    • Margin usage within 90% limit
  • Auto-fetch & apply Binance LOT_SIZE precision
  • Execute orders via Binance Futures API
  • After closing: Auto-cancel all pending orders
  • Record actual execution price & order ID
  • 📌 Track position open time for duration calculation

Step 7: 📝 Record Complete Logs & Update Performance

  • Save decision log to decision_logs/{trader_id}/
  • Log includes:
    • Complete Chain of Thought (CoT)
    • Input prompt with all market data
    • Structured decision JSON
    • Account snapshot (balance, positions, margin)
    • Execution results (success/failure, prices)
  • Update performance database:
    • Match open/close pairs by symbol_side key
    • 📌 NEW: Prevents long/short conflicts
    • Calculate accurate USDT PnL:
      • PnL = Position Value × Price Δ% × Leverage
    • 📌 NEW: Considers quantity + leverage
    • Store: quantity, leverage, open time, close time
    • Update win rate, profit factor, Sharpe ratio
  • Performance data feeds back into next cycle

🔄 (Repeat every 3-5 min)

Key Improvements in v2.0.2

📌 Position Duration Tracking:

  • System now tracks how long each position has been held
  • Displayed in user prompt: "持仓时长2小时15分钟"
  • Helps AI make better decisions on when to exit

📌 Accurate PnL Calculation:

  • Previously: Only percentage (100U@5% = 1000U@5% = both showed "5.0")
  • Now: Real USDT profit = Position Value × Price Change × Leverage
  • Example: 1000 USDT × 5% × 20x = 1000 USDT actual profit

📌 Enhanced AI Freedom:

  • AI can freely analyze all raw sequence data
  • No longer restricted to predefined indicator combinations
  • Can perform own trend analysis, support/resistance calculation

📌 Improved Position Tracking:

  • Uses symbol_side key (e.g., "BTCUSDT_long")
  • Prevents conflicts when holding both long & short
  • Stores complete data: quantity, leverage, open/close times

How AI Uses Feedback

  1. Avoid consecutive losers: Seeing SOLUSDT with 3 consecutive stop-losses, AI avoids or is more cautious
  2. Reinforce successful strategies: BTC breakout long with 75% win rate, AI continues this pattern
  3. Dynamic style adjustment: Win rate <40% → conservative; P/L ratio >2 → maintain aggressive
  4. Identify market conditions: Consecutive losses may indicate choppy market, reduce trading frequency
