# AutoFirmer

Automated futures trading dashboard for prop firm accounts via Tradovate.

---

## VPS Setup (Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04)

### 1. Update the system

```bash
apt update && apt upgrade -y
```

### 2. Install Node.js 22+

```bash
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x | bash -
apt install -y nodejs
node --version   # should be v22.x or higher
```

### 3. Install build tools (required for better-sqlite3 native module)

```bash
apt install -y build-essential python3
```

### 4. Clone the repo

```bash
git clone https://github.com/Senofy/autofirmer.git
cd autofirmer
```

### 5. Install dependencies

```bash
npm install
```

### 6. Build

```bash
npm run build
```

### 7. Run

**Development (with hot reload):**
```bash
npm run dev
```

**Production:**
```bash
npm start
```

The app runs on **port 3000** by default. Access it at `http://<your-vps-ip>:3000`.

---

## First-time setup

On first run, the SQLite database (`autotrader.sqlite`) is created automatically in the project root. No migrations need to be run manually.

Open the app in your browser and add your firms through the UI:

1. Click **+ Add Firm** on the main page
2. Enter the firm name, Tradovate username, and password
3. Go to the firm's **Settings** page to configure account types (prefix, profit target, consistency %, etc.)
4. Return to the main page — accounts will populate once the firm connects to Tradovate

---

## Keeping it running (PM2)

```bash
npm install -g pm2
pm2 start "npm start" --name autofirmer
pm2 save
pm2 startup   # follow the printed command to enable on reboot
```

To restart after pulling updates:
```bash
git pull
npm install
npm run build
pm2 restart autofirmer
```

---

## Firewall

If you only need local/trusted access, restrict port 3000:

```bash
ufw allow ssh
ufw allow from <your-ip> to any port 3000
ufw enable
```

---

## Updating

```bash
git pull
npm install       # only needed if dependencies changed
npm run build
pm2 restart autofirmer
```
