What is CoTrading

An AI desktop workbench for crypto and stock traders — AI proposes, you decide.

Overview

CoTrading is a local-first AI desktop workbench (built on Electron) for crypto and stock traders. It helps you analyze markets and build trading plans with AI — but every single order is approved by you personally.

The core principle is simple: AI proposes, you decide. The AI process has no authority to place orders on its own. The safety boundary around your capital is never handed to the AI.

Core capabilities

Markets Workspace — multi-symbol candlestick charts with technical indicators (BOLL / MACD / KDJ, Fibonacci retracement) and a side-panel AI chat that reasons about the chart in context.
AI Approval Trading — the AI generates a trade plan card (direction, entry, stop-loss, position size, rationale). Nothing is submitted until you approve or reject it.
Deterministic Risk Controls — daily-loss circuit breaker, cooldown after consecutive losses, per-trade and per-account position caps. These run as pure functions locally and never pass through an LLM.
Live / Testnet dual track — testnet by default. Switching to live requires multiple confirmation gates plus an exchange "withdrawals disabled" permission check.
Weekly Review — AI-assisted retrospectives that build up your trading memory and discipline.
Local-first & bring-your-own keys — your exchange API keys and AI model keys live on your machine. They never enter logs and are never uploaded.

Trading involves risk

CoTrading is a tool, not a source of investment advice. Markets carry risk and you are responsible for every decision. Nothing here is a promise of returns.

How the pieces fit

You watch the market in the workspace, ask the AI for analysis, and receive a proposed plan. You review the plan, adjust or reject it, and only then does an order reach the exchange — still bounded by your deterministic risk rules.

Next steps

Getting Started — install and place your first AI-approved order on testnet.
Connect an Exchange — bring your own API keys safely.
AI Approval Trading — understand the approval flow and its safety boundary.
