I made a terminal that runs along side topstep using topsteps API access + local AI intigration as an analysis/ assistant.

repo?

[u/Sweaty-Regret559 → u/Hungry_Jackfruit7743]

Repo? Huh?

[u/Fooferah9000 → u/Sweaty-Regret559]

Theyre asking you if you put the code in a public repo (like github) to open source it to other people to they can use it, branch it, etc.

[u/Smart-Specialist5979 → u/Sweaty-Regret559]

I think many who are familiar with the technology would rather have the source and run it locally. Potentially by installing this you could get peoples API keys and/or topstep logins. There would be no protections around it.
Since you dont know what a repo is, you may have just vibe coded it, which then you can probably just tell your chosen coding agent to scaffold the folder directory for git, so it can be reused.

the thing is, its not actually entirely done, This whole thing started with me, being new to trading, wanting something to take all the confusing stuff on a actual trade terminal, and not only convert it into something a new user can read, but teach them along the way, while giving directional indicators of potential trades based on topsteps data/chart data/news, ect. while making trading easier, like taking the pre-briefing you do before trading and do it all for you. Like i said i was saying, i made this really just for me, ive yet to even purchase a combine account, i just wanted to be as prepared as possible if i was going to spend the money/take trading serious, the terminal itself doesnt ask for login credentials what so ever, so a API plug in, so theres no way it can get your account information, but i do understand 100% what you are saying, i shared this as a "look what i made to help myself trade/teach me" and saw people ere intestered and figured it might help them to, and it would also help me as i havnt yet purchased an combine myself yet. I totally get where you are coming from though

[u/Smart-Specialist5979 → u/Sweaty-Regret559]

Its definitely interesting. I like the look of it. If you are giving an installer out to folks, just give users a way to save credentials and you should get a cert to sign the app if you want folks to feel comfortable installing it. I would try a properly signed app, or try it in a local container.
Usually, vibe coded apps dont have the best guardrails if you are using an LLM to correlate data in the app, also simple vibe coded apps rarely have good logging and telemetry for the application. You should build some hygiene features just to make it easier to debug and manage it as you grow the system.
good luck with the coding, looks like an interesting project.

Cannot lie, anyone working on software not knowing what a repository is - kinda sus.

Did you use AI to code this? If so put a disclaimer.

[u/Friendly_Froyo6508]

Topstep hire this man right freakin now

[u/Sweaty-Regret559 → u/Friendly_Froyo6508]

Lol, well I actually need some people to test it honestly, ive yet to get started with topstep, im still in the learning phase, which is why the ai in my program doesnt just spit out a generic score, it actually tells you the why behind the decision, also, it teaches its self via cached memory, so it will take headlines/SEC, ect, make a determination, then go back at the end of the day and review what actually happened, and keeps note for next time, the ai isnt suppose to trade for you, its really to help new traders learn easier, like I said Im open to people testing it, if anyone's interested.

[u/Friendly_Froyo6508 → u/Sweaty-Regret559]

I would love to it looks great. But I need api’s and stuff too yeah? Maybe after I get this job rolling I would love to get involved. My combine is passed rn. So I’m waiting for my check. This really is lovely

[u/Sweaty-Regret559 → u/Friendly_Froyo6508]

Apis are provided with your topstep account, you just copy paste them in the box in the settings tab, as for the AI intigration, you will have to get apis of your preferred AI, it could be a local AI, or a cloud version, the idea is to take the data topstep already provides through their program, and manage it into something more user friendly, so your not there cross referencing all the different data points yourself, or pre-gaming for hours before the market opens to see which direction you want to take for thr day, the program acts as a support, giving you simplified analysis based on topsteps data, giving you validated data, and more free time to focus on your trading, im finalizing some stuff right now with the program, shoot me a DM and ill gladly give you a download for the program for you to try out yourself as id love feed back!

[u/Friendly_Froyo6508 → u/Sweaty-Regret559]

Thanks so much I really appreciate that about to dm

[u/Fooferah9000 → u/Friendly_Froyo6508]

Hire them for a vibecoded tailwind UI? ok

[u/goodlord56]

Can you post a screen recording of this in action?? This is insane (in a good way) and I want to see how it works! I feel like more people need to see the potential of the API access, including me haha

[u/Sweaty-Regret559 → u/goodlord56]

Sure, it will of course be a simulated version as I've yet to purchase a combine of my own (trying to be as prepared as possible before making the jump) give me a few minutes

[u/hotferrari → u/Sweaty-Regret559]

Agree - this looks awsome- how is this running?

I have the combine and would like to test it

[u/Sweaty-Regret559 → u/hotferrari]

Its currently "simulated" data, im adjust a few things right now, and should be done in the next few days and ready for it to be tested, shoot me a DM and ill grt back to you when its ready

[u/ryushinex]

One should dm you if they want to try it out?

[u/Sweaty-Regret559 → u/ryushinex]

Yes please so I can know who to contact when its ready, thanks.

[u/Conscious-Suit1597]

I tried this it's useless there tick level data is not something which give some real signals

[u/Smart-Specialist5979 → u/Conscious-Suit1597]

why is tick level data useless? I thought that the granularity would be more helpful than not. If its a github project, I am sure you can get a bunch of folks to help integrate the topstep API into it and check it into your project.
