Do you provide trade signals?

No. algobanana provides execution tooling only. No investment advice. We help you automate your own strategies, but we do not tell you what to trade.

Is this custodial? Do you hold my funds?

No. We don't custody funds. Local mode keeps keys on your machine; Cloud mode uses your configured broker connectivity model. Your capital always stays with your broker.

Can I paper trade or dry-run first?

Yes. Start in dry-run mode to validate mappings and limits. This lets you test your configuration without placing real orders. We strongly recommend starting with dry-run.

Which brokers are supported?

We prioritize integrations by demand. Tell us your broker and we'll confirm the roadmap. Common brokers include Interactive Brokers, Binance, FTX, Bybit, and others.

What happens if something goes wrong?

You can use the kill switch, circuit breakers, and alerts. Every event is logged for review. We provide multiple layers of safety controls to protect your capital.

Can I run multiple strategies?

Yes. Use separate configs/workspaces (Local/Cloud) to isolate risk. Each strategy can have its own limits, mappings, and monitoring.

Do you guarantee profitability?

No. Tools don't guarantee outcomes; markets are risky. algobanana provides execution infrastructure—your strategy performance depends on your own trading logic.

Is Cloud Control suitable for teams?

Yes — roles, audit history, and change tracking are core design goals. Cloud Control is built for teams that need collaboration, accountability, and separation of duties.

Getting Started (Local)

1. Install

Download the algobanana Local client for your operating system. Extract and run the installer.

2. Connect Broker

Configure your broker connection with API credentials. Keys are stored locally and encrypted.

$ algobanana broker add --name=my-broker --api-key=YOUR_KEY

3. TradingView Webhook

Set up a webhook endpoint in TradingView alerts. Point it to your local algobanana instance.

Webhook URL: http://localhost:8080/webhook

4. Mapping

Create rule mappings to convert TradingView alerts into broker orders.
