Introduction
Key Features
- Full Autonomy: Host, configure, and manage the entire system on your own infrastructure—no third-party interference.
- Zero External Dependencies: All trading logic, historical logs, and analytics remain under your control. Nothing is shared or stored externally..
- Flexible Deployment: Supports Docker, Linux, and Windows environments for maximum compatibility across development and production setups.
- Modular Architecture with Dual Applications: MagicTradeBot is built with two powerful components:
- Management Application – A comprehensive UI-based interface to manage exchanges, accounts, API keys, symbols, strategy templates, backtesting tools, condition sets, reports, and more. Can be hosted locally or on a remote server for secured web access.
- Core Bot Application – A lightweight, always-on engine that continuously scans the market and processes trades 24/7. Runs independently to ensure uninterrupted operation, even if the UI is offline.
Benefits of Self-Hosting
- 100% Data Ownership:All trading strategies, historical logs, real-time analytics, and operational metadata remain solely within your infrastructure. No third-party servers, no shadow access.
- Secure API Key Management: Your exchange API keys never leave your server. By removing cloud-hosted intermediaries, you drastically reduce the surface area for potential leaks, hacks, or unauthorized access.
- Customizable & Isolated Environment: You decide the performance profile, hosting specs, and security protocols. Whether you're scaling with Kubernetes or running a lean local instance, you avoid shared-hosting risks like noisy neighbors or downtime.
- Optimized for Speed & Uptime: Self-hosting eliminates network latency often introduced by cloud relays, resulting in faster trade execution and reduced slippage.
Compliance & Audit Readiness
- No Data Collection:MagicTradeBot is designed for full user autonomy. When self-hosted, no trading data, logs, or strategies are ever transmitted to external servers. The only remote interaction is a lightweight license key validation performed periodically.
- Outside Compliance Scope: Since MagicTradeBot does not collect, process, or store any user data on its own infrastructure, it does not fall under typical data compliance regulations such as GDPR, SOC 2, or ISO 27001. Users maintain full responsibility for their own compliance based on how they host and use the bot.
- Infrastructure-Level Compliance: If you operate in a regulated environment, any compliance obligations will depend solely on your chosen hosting infrastructure, not on MagicTradeBot itself.
Who Should Use Self-Hosting?
- Institutions or Teams Requiring Full Data Control:While MagicTradeBot does not collect or store any trading data (aside from occasional license key validation), self-hosting empowers organizations to maintain complete control over their own audit trails and infrastructure.
- Quantitative Analysts and Algo Traders: Ideal for users needing low-latency execution, deep customization, and isolated environments for advanced trading strategies.
- Privacy-Conscious Individuals: For users who want zero external data exposure and prefer to keep all trading operations on-premise or within a private network.
- Developers and Integrators: Perfect for those looking to extend or embed the bot into larger financial systems, customize core logic, or build proprietary trading flows.
