Quickstart
Get the Velox terminal running and a first scan executed in under a minute.
1. Open the terminal
Go to app.velox.trade and sign in. The first load pulls your last known portfolio state from Redis; if this is your first session it seeds a dual virtual portfolio with $10,000 in each side.
2. Add your model keys
Velox calls the three model APIs directly from the browser (same-origin, no middle-man proxy). You need to paste in:
CLAUDE_API_KEY— from the Anthropic ConsoleGEMINI_API_KEY— from Google AI StudioGROK_API_KEY— from the xAI Developer Console
Keys are stored in localStorage on your machine. They are never sent to Velox servers. Each model call originates from your browser to the respective provider.
Note Anthropic requires
anthropic-dangerous-direct-browser-access: trueto allow browser-origin requests. Velox sets this header automatically.
3. Trigger a scan
Click scan now in the top bar. The scanner pulls market data and fires each model in parallel. Typical timing:
| Phase | Duration |
|---|---|
| Market data fetch (all 80 pairs) | 0.8 – 2.1 s |
| Three parallel model calls | 4 – 12 s |
| Consensus + risk sizing | < 100 ms |
| Signal alerting | instant |
You'll see each model's reasoning stream into the AI log column as it returns. Consensus-tier signals appear in the center feed panel.
4. Let the 24/7 pipeline take over
If you want the engine to run while your browser is closed, flip CRONS_ENABLED=true in your self-hosted deployment's Vercel env. Four cron jobs then run autonomously:
*/10 * * * * → /api/scan scan 80 pairs, find consensus
*/2 * * * * → /api/monitor-positions partial TPs, trailing stops, breakeven
*/30 * * * * → /api/evaluate-positions re-evaluate open trades via Claude
0 */6 * * * → /api/optimize tune per-model confidence weights
See architecture for the cron pipeline in detail.
