Connect TradingView, connect your broker, and let your strategy trade for you — on a server you own. No TradingView? Keep every manual trade and multiple strategies neatly in one place.

Three steps to your first automated trade.
Point your TradingView alerts at TradeLayer. Every signal becomes a broker order — entry, stop and target in one shot.
Add your OKX, IBKR, IC Markets, Pepperstone, Capital.com, Kraken or Coinbase keys once. Safely stored on your own backend, never in the app.
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.
Run everything on a paper account, then flip to live only when you're ready — deliberately.
Test any strategy on paper across all your brokers — no money at risk.
Stress-test your edge over thousands of simulated runs before trusting it live.
Live trading stays locked behind a deliberate gate — you flip the switch, on purpose.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
| Broker | Connect | What you trade | Options | EU status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OKX | Yes | Crypto — X-Perps & spot-margin (up to 10×) | No | EU · MiCA |
| Interactive Brokers | Yes | Stocks, indices (CFD/Micro/Nano futures), commodities, forex | Coming | EU |
| IC Markets (cTrader) | Yes | Forex, indices, commodities, stocks — as CFDs | No | EU |
| Pepperstone (cTrader) | Yes | Forex, indices, commodities, stock CFDs | No | EU |
| Capital.com | Yes | Forex, indices, commodities, stock CFDs | No | EU |
| Kraken (spot) | Yes | Crypto spot-margin | No | EU |
| Kraken Futures | Yes | Crypto perps | No | EU |
| Coinbase | Yes | Crypto perps (where your account allows) | No | EU* |
Options are available through Interactive Brokers only — your other brokers don't offer a classic options API. *Coinbase perps depend on what your account and region allow.
Everything you need to run a strategy across brokers without spreadsheets or fat-fingered orders.
Crypto on OKX, Kraken, Kraken Futures & Coinbase; forex, indices, commodities & stocks on Interactive Brokers, IC Markets, Pepperstone & Capital.com — routed automatically per instrument.
Set your risk in percent; the calculator sizes every position from your live broker equity, so a stop-out only costs what you decided.
A signal becomes a broker order in about a tenth of a second — or place it yourself, whatever suits your style.
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.
One control to stop everything going out. Start in demo, flip to live deliberately, keep your hand on the brake.
Win rate, R multiples and costs per broker — with the real fees your brokers actually charged you, all in one clean dashboard.
See which of the assets you trade move together — spot double-risk before you open a second correlated position.
Your P&L by day, week and month, with win rate, expectancy and profit factor per period — and best/worst at a glance.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Your broker API keys are stored encrypted on your own backend and never shipped to the app or shown in logs.
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.
Kill switch, per-strategy allowlist and a validator that requires a stop. Nothing goes out unless you deliberately turn it on.
Everything starts on a paper account. Live trading stays locked behind a gate you flip on purpose — no accidental live orders.
Fills, fees and P&L are read back from the broker and matched by position id — no invented prices, unknown values show as “—”.
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?
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.
TradeLayer is self-hosted, so a subscription is not all you need to run it. Please make sure you have:
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.
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.
Share TradeLayer with a fellow trader. When they sign up, you get 10% off your subscription.
Send your personal link. As soon as your friend creates an account and goes live, a 10% discount lands on your next invoice — stack it for every friend you bring.
Enter your email to generate a shareable link. The discount is applied to your account once a referred friend goes live. See the referral terms.
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.
The things traders ask before they connect a broker.
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.
