Quick start
From a fresh installation to a configured dashboard.
Before you begin
You need Python 3.10+, Docker with Compose 2.24+, a MetaTrader 5 account and Telegram access. Start with a demo broker account. AI provider access is configured in the dashboard.
Install the CLI
Copy the command for your computer from the home page. It installs the lvct command and public source, without starting containers. The optional Python flag installs Python where the operating system installer is supported.
lvct --help
lvct deps
lvct deps --installCreate your installation
The wizard asks for a dashboard username/password and broker server/login/password. Telegram API ID and hash are optional here. Encryption and RPC keys are generated automatically. Existing configurations are never overwritten.
lvct init
lvct doctor
lvct start
lvct open --settingsConnect, review, then arm
In Settings connect Telegram, select a signal channel, configure an AI provider and review the broker account and risk limits. Starting containers does not arm trading. Arm only after reviewing these settings. The first Wine/MT5 build can exceed 40 minutes; startup takes several more minutes.
