How it works

Set up in minutes.

Three steps to your first automated trade.

Connect TradingView

Point your TradingView alerts at TradeLayer. Every signal becomes a broker order — entry, stop and target in one shot.

Connect your broker

Add your OKX, IBKR, IC Markets, Pepperstone, Capital.com, Kraken or Coinbase keys once. Safely stored on your own backend, never in the app.

Trade

Fire automatically from TradingView, or place trades by hand with the risk calculator. Sit back and let it run.

No TradingView? No problem. Keep all your manual trades in one place and track multiple strategies side by side — across every broker.

Demo-first. Prove it before you risk a cent.

Run everything on a paper account, then flip to live only when you're ready — deliberately.

Demo-friendly

Test any strategy on paper across all your brokers — no money at risk.

Monte Carlo

Stress-test your edge over thousands of simulated runs before trusting it live.

Go-live gate

Live trading stays locked behind a deliberate gate — you flip the switch, on purpose.

What it is

Your machine. Your app. Never advice.

TradeLayer is a trader's tool — not a broker, not an advisor. It runs entirely on your own computer, so a little setup buys you a whole app that's genuinely yours.

A tool, not advice

TradeLayer never recommends, signals or manages money. You choose every strategy and authorise every order — it just automates and organises the trades you already make. It is not a broker, an advisor or an investment firm, and it makes no promises about results.

Runs on your machine, not ours

The whole backend runs on your own server or computer, in Docker. Nothing runs on our side — we never see your broker keys, your funds or your trades. It's self-hosted, so the sensitive parts never leave your hands.

A little setup, a whole app that's yours

Getting it running takes about 20–30 minutes once. In return you get a complete app you shape entirely around how you trade — your brokers, your data, your rules — running privately for you. That small effort is the trade-off for full ownership and a fraction of a hosted platform's price.

In short: TradeLayer automates and organises the trades you decide on — it never decides for you. See our risk disclosure and terms.

Brokers

Your broker. Your assets.

Connect the brokers you already use. What you can trade is whatever your broker offers through its API — so you know exactly what's possible before you start. For the full picture — API rules, daily-login gateways and the EU frame per broker — read About the brokers.

Why TradeLayer

Built for disciplined trading.

Everything you need to run a strategy across brokers without spreadsheets or fat-fingered orders.

Multi-broker, one app

Crypto on OKX, Kraken, Kraken Futures & Coinbase; forex, indices, commodities & stocks on Interactive Brokers, IC Markets, Pepperstone & Capital.com — routed automatically per instrument.

Risk-first sizing

Set your risk in percent; the calculator sizes every position from your live broker equity, so a stop-out only costs what you decided.

TradingView webhooks

A signal becomes a broker order in about a tenth of a second — or place it yourself, whatever suits your style.

Broker-true numbers

Entry, exit, fees and realized P&L are read back from the broker and matched by position id — what you see is what actually happened.

Kill switch

One control to stop everything going out. Start in demo, flip to live deliberately, keep your hand on the brake.

Metrics & history

Win rate, R multiples and costs per broker — with the real fees your brokers actually charged you, all in one clean dashboard.

Correlation heatmap

See which of the assets you trade move together — spot double-risk before you open a second correlated position.

Calendar & review

Your P&L by day, week and month, with win rate, expectancy and profit factor per period — and best/worst at a glance.

Options — coming soon

Browse the options chain on Interactive Brokers with live greeks, preview the margin, and place with a confirmation. Strikes, expiries and calls/puts, right in the app.

Make it yours

It becomes your app.

Plug in the data you already use, and log every trade you place — even one you fire by hand at the broker. TradeLayer bends around how you trade, not the other way round.

Connect any data you have

At Macro, add any API you already use — news, Fear & Greed indexes, rates, whatever you follow. Two own connections on Basic, unlimited on Max, so your macro view is exactly the one you want. The app just shows the data; you read it — no built-in verdicts.

Even just a journal

Set your broker keys to read-only and TradeLayer is a clean trade journal. Place a trade yourself at the broker and it shows up as Placed / Filled — full trade detail and live open P&L — then lands in Recent trades as a tidy card. Day, swing or algo, it's all captured.

Fast enough to automate

Orders reach the broker in about 100–200 ms on average — ideal for day and swing strategies, placed by hand or fully automated. See the order speed per broker.

Read-only keys? You still get the full journal — TradeLayer reads your fills back from the broker, it doesn't need permission to place them. Turn trade permissions on only when you want it to execute for you too.

Security

Your keys. Your money. Your control.

You're connecting brokers, so trust comes first. TradeLayer is built fail-closed and self-hosted — designed so the sensitive parts never leave your hands.

Keys encrypted, never in the app

Your broker API keys are stored encrypted on your own backend and never shipped to the app or shown in logs.

Self-hosted — we hold nothing

You run TradeLayer on your own server and connect your own broker. We don't hold your funds and don't act as an intermediary.

Fail-closed by default

Kill switch, per-strategy allowlist and a validator that requires a stop. Nothing goes out unless you deliberately turn it on.

Demo-first, go-live gate

Everything starts on a paper account. Live trading stays locked behind a gate you flip on purpose — no accidental live orders.

Broker-true numbers

Fills, fees and P&L are read back from the broker and matched by position id — no invented prices, unknown values show as “—”.

EU-compliant guardrails

Leverage is capped per instrument to the EU limit, and brokers/instruments that aren't allowed for EU retail are hidden.

TradeLayer is a tool, not a broker — you place your own orders and stay in control. See our risk disclosure and terms.

Want it running 24/7? You add only your own ~€4–6/mo VPS — do I need a VPS, and why not?

How it compares

Most automation platforms are hosted SaaS: their servers, their price, your data with them. TradeLayer is self-hosted, so one flat plan covers every broker and asset — you add only your own ~€4–6/mo VPS.

Competitor prices are their own published rates (USD, excl. VAT), checked Sep 2026 and subject to change; higher tiers shown are those needed to match TradeLayer Pro's multi-broker, multi-asset scope. For reference only — not affiliated with or endorsed by these providers.

Before you subscribe — what you need

TradeLayer is self-hosted, so a subscription is not all you need to run it. Please make sure you have:

  • Your own VPS or server to run the app on, 24/7. Budget roughly €3–€10 a month for it — this is an extra cost on top of your subscription, paid to your hosting provider, not to us. We use TransIP ourselves (EU/NL, ~€4–6/mo) — see the step-by-step setup guide.
  • A broker account (demo or live) with the broker(s) you want to trade, plus their API keys.
  • A TradingView account — only if you want to automate signals into orders (optional; manual trading works without it).

New to servers? Our guided setup wizard (or the detailed VPS guide) walks you through it in ~20 minutes — or start on the free demo first, before you rent a server or pay a cent.

Why we can be cheaper

No gimmicks and no loss-leader pricing — the price is low because of how TradeLayer is built and run. The honest reasons:

✦

A one-man operation. Built and run by a single developer — no big team, no investors to repay, no payroll to cover. That saving goes straight into the price.

✦

You host it, not us. It runs on your own small VPS (a few € a month), so we never pay for servers to execute your trades — the biggest cost hosted platforms carry, we simply don't have.

✦

Your keys never leave your machine. We hold nothing — no funds, no broker keys, no trade data — so we carry none of the custody, security and compliance overhead that others price in.

✦

No middleman. You connect your own brokers directly. We don't route, resell or take a cut of your orders — there's no layer in between to pay for.

✦

One flat plan, every broker. No per-broker upcharge and no add-on fees. What competitors split across expensive tiers, we simply include.

✦

Lean and honest. No ad machine, no sales team, no VC pressure to squeeze every euro out of you. Built by a trader for traders, and priced that way.

Prices are per month, VAT may apply. You run TradeLayer on your own server, connect your own broker keys, and place your own orders. TradeLayer is a tool, not investment advice.

About

Built by a trader, for traders.

One interface between your strategy and your brokers — designed for disciplined, EU-compliant trading.

TradeLayer connects your TradingView signals to the brokers you already use, and keeps every manual trade and strategy in one place — with the real numbers read back from the broker.

It's self-hosted: you run it on your own server and connect your own broker keys, so your credentials and your trades never leave your control. Leverage is capped per instrument to the EU limit, live trading stays behind a deliberate go-live gate, and a kill switch is always one tap away.

TradeLayer is a tool, not advice. You decide the strategy, you place the orders, you own the risk.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

The things traders ask before they connect a broker.

Do you see or store my broker keys or my money?
No. TradeLayer is self-hosted: you run it on your own server and your broker API keys are stored encrypted there, never in the app and never on our servers. We don't hold your funds and never take custody of your money.
Is my money safe?
Your money stays with your broker — TradeLayer only sends orders to your own broker account, which you authorise. It's built fail-closed: a kill switch, a stop-loss requirement and a deliberate go-live gate. That said, trading itself carries real risk of loss — see our risk disclosure.
Do I need TradingView?
No. TradingView lets you automate (a signal becomes a broker order), but you can also place trades by hand with the risk calculator and keep all your manual trades and strategies in one place.
Which brokers and assets can I trade?
OKX, Interactive Brokers, IC Markets, Pepperstone, Capital.com, Kraken, Kraken Futures and Coinbase — crypto, forex, indices, commodities and stocks, depending on the broker. See About the brokers. Options are coming via Interactive Brokers.
Can I connect a prop firm (FTMO and others)?
Yes — the biggest firms run on the cTrader Open API, so FTMO, FundedNext, FundingPips, The Trading Pit and BrightFunded connect like any cTrader broker, each as its own broker in the app. Important: many prop firms restrict or forbid automated/API trading and bridges — connecting an outside tool can breach their rules and cost you your funded account, so check your firm's terms first. MT4/MT5-only firms aren't connected yet. See Prop firms.
Is it available in the EU? Is it legal?
Yes, it's built EU-first: leverage is capped per instrument to the EU limit, and brokers/instruments not allowed for EU retail are hidden. TradeLayer is a tool, not investment advice — you decide and place every trade. (We're finalising the regulatory review; nothing here is legal advice.)
Is it fast enough for scalping?
It's strong for day-trading (positions of minutes to hours). Single quick scalps on crypto work, but true tick-scalping doesn't — and the real limit is TradingView's webhook delivery (~1–5s), not the app. We'd rather be honest about that than oversell it.
Can I try it on demo first?
Yes — the first month is free on demo. You trade OKX BTC & ETH on a paper account with the core metrics and journal, so you can see exactly how it works before paying anything. The advanced edge-metrics (Payoff, Recovery, SQN, statistical significance) unlock on Basic and Max. Basic (€24,95/mo) then adds live trading, the 20 largest assets of each universe, up to 2 broker connections and 2 own Macro data connections; Max (€39,95/mo) unlocks all 8 EU-regulated brokers, unlimited accounts, every asset and unlimited Macro connections.
Do I need a VPS? Why is it so cheap?
TradeLayer is self-hosted, so you run it on a small VPS of your own — usually just a few euros a month. Because you bring the server (and your keys stay on it), we're not paying to host or execute anything, and it's built by a single developer with almost no overhead. That's why it's a fraction of the price of a hosted platform — the saving is passed to you, not spent on a big team. We use TransIP ourselves (EU/NL, ~€4–6/mo); the setup guide gets you running in about 20 minutes.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Plans are monthly subscriptions you can cancel anytime; see the terms. Your first month on demo is free — leave your email to get started.
How does the 10% referral discount work?
Share your personal link. For every friend who signs up and goes live, you get 10% off your subscription, stacking per friend. Details in the referral terms.

TradeLayer is in private testing on demo accounts. Leave your email and we'll get you in.

Heads-up: TradeLayer is self-hosted — you'll also need your own VPS (a few € a month, on top of the subscription) to run it. See requirements.
