What Sets KlawTrade Apart
7-Trigger Circuit Breakers
Automatic safety halts for consecutive losses, daily and weekly loss limits, max drawdown, VIX spikes, position limits, and system errors. No other open source platform includes this.
Real-Time WebSocket Dashboard
Monitor equity curves, open positions, trade logs, and circuit breaker status -- all updating in real time with sub-second latency. Includes a one-click kill switch.
6 Brokers, Zero Lock-in
Connect to Alpaca, Interactive Brokers, Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, or Tradier. Switch brokers without changing your strategy code. Your data stays on your machine.
Walk-Forward Backtesting
Validate strategies with rolling train/test windows to avoid overfitting. Same execution engine as live trading for accurate fill simulation.
14-Check Risk Gate
Every trade passes through 14 independent risk checks before an order is placed. Position sizing, correlation limits, sector exposure, and more -- all configurable.
5-Minute Setup
Install from PyPI with a single pip command. Run the interactive wizard to configure your broker and risk profile. Start simulated trading immediately.
