   • Market configurations (SOL, BTC, ETH)
   • Environment variable support
   • Validation and merging logic

2. Drift Integration (v4/lib/drift/)

   • Account health monitoring
   • Position tracking
   • Oracle price feeds

3. API Endpoints (v4/app/api/trading/)

   • execute/route.ts - Execute trades from n8n
   • check-risk/route.ts - Pre-trade risk validation
   • Authentication with API keys
   • Error handling

4. Documentation

   • SETUP.md - Detailed setup instructions
   • .env.example - Environment template
   • test-drift-v4.ts - Integration test script

n8n Integration

• ✅ Workflow JSON exported (n8n-workflow-v4.json)
• ✅ TradingView webhook → n8n → Trading Bot flow
• ✅ Multi-channel notifications (Telegram/Discord)
• ✅ Risk checks before execution
• ✅ Trade confirmation messages

🎯 How It Works

Signal Flow

1. TradingView Alert (5min chart, green/red dot)
        ↓
2. Webhook to n8n (with secret validation)
        ↓
3. n8n extracts signal data
        ↓
4. n8n calls /api/trading/check-risk
        ↓
5. If approved, n8n calls /api/trading/execute
        ↓
6. Bot opens position on Drift Protocol
        ↓
7. n8n sends Telegram/Discord notification
        ↓
8. Trade is live! (monitoring in Phase 2)

Example Trade Execution

Signal: BUY SOLUSDT @ $100.00

Configuration:
- Position: $1,000
- Leverage: 10x
- Total: $10,000

Order Placement:
✅ Market buy executed
✅ Fill price: $100.02 (0.02% slippage)
✅ Size: 99.98 SOL

Targets Set:
🔴 Stop Loss: $98.52 (-1.5% = -$150 account loss)
🟡 TP1 (50%): $100.72 (+0.7% = +$70 account gain)
🟢 TP2 (50%): $101.52 (+1.5% = +$150 account gain)

Status: Position active, monitoring will start in Phase 2

🧪 Testing

Test Your Setup

# 1. Navigate to v4 directory
cd v4

# 2. Run integration test
npx tsx test-drift-v4.ts

# Expected output:
# ✅ Config loaded
# ✅ Drift service initialized
# ✅ USDC Balance: $XXX.XX
# ✅ Account health: ...
# ✅ All tests passed!

Test API Endpoints

# 1. Start Next.js server
npm run dev

# 2. Test risk check
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/trading/check-risk \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_SECRET_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"symbol":"SOL-PERP","direction":"long"}'

# Expected: {"allowed":true,"details":"All risk checks passed"}

Test Full Flow (CAREFUL!)

# This will open a REAL position!
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/trading/execute \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_SECRET_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "symbol": "SOLUSDT",
    "direction": "long",
    "timeframe": "5",
    "signalStrength": "strong"
  }'

📝 Setup Checklist

Before going live:

• .env.local configured with all required variables
• Drift wallet funded with USDC
• Drift account initialized at drift.trade
• Test script passes (npx tsx v4/test-drift-v4.ts)
• n8n workflow imported and activated
• n8n environment variables set
• Telegram bot configured
• TradingView alert created
• Test alert triggered successfully
• Small test trade executed successfully ($100)
• Position verified in Drift UI

🎬 Quick Start Guide

1. Environment Setup

# Copy environment template
cp v4/.env.example .env.local

# Edit .env.local and add:
# - DRIFT_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY
# - API_SECRET_KEY
# - SOLANA_RPC_URL (if not already set)

2. Test Drift Connection

npx tsx v4/test-drift-v4.ts

3. Configure n8n

1. Import n8n-workflow-v4.json
2. Set TRADING_BOT_API_URL
3. Set API_SECRET_KEY  
4. Set TRADINGVIEW_WEBHOOK_SECRET
5. Configure Telegram credentials
6. Activate workflow

4. Configure TradingView

1. Create alert on 5min chart
2. Set webhook URL: https://your-n8n.com/webhook/tradingview-signal?secret=SECRET
3. Set message format (see SETUP.md)
4. Enable "Webhook URL" notification
5. Test alert

5. Start Trading!

Manually trigger TradingView alert
↓
Check n8n execution logs
↓
Verify position opened in Drift
↓
Monitor position at drift.trade
↓
Manually close for now (Phase 2 will auto-close)

💡 Important Notes

Current Limitations

1. No automatic exits - You must manually close positions or wait for Drift's liquidation
2. No price monitoring - Bot doesn't track prices after entry
3. No risk limits - All trades are approved (risk check is placeholder)
4. No trade history - Trades aren't saved to database yet

Workarounds for Phase 1

1. Monitor positions manually at https://drift.trade
2. Set up Drift UI alerts for your TP/SL levels
3. Close positions manually when targets hit
4. Track trades in a spreadsheet for now
5. Use small position sizes ($100-500 recommended)

🔐 Security Reminders

• ✅ .env.local is gitignored (don't commit it!)
• ✅ API keys should be random (use openssl rand -hex 32)
• ✅ Use a dedicated wallet for trading
• ✅ Keep private keys secure
• ✅ Start with small positions
• ✅ Monitor closely during testing

📊 Recommended Testing Strategy

Week 1: Paper Testing

• Use $100 position size
• Trade 5-10 times
• Manually close all positions
• Track results in spreadsheet

Week 2: Small Live

• Increase to $300 position size
• Let some positions hit TP/SL naturally
• Monitor slippage and execution
• Verify n8n notifications

Week 3: Scale Up

• Gradually increase to $500-1000
• Add more symbols
• Fine-tune parameters
• Prepare for Phase 2 (auto-exits)

🎯 Next Development Priorities

Phase 2 Features (in order)

1. Pyth Price Monitor (critical for auto-exits)
2. Position Manager (track active trades)
3. Auto Exit Logic (SL/TP execution)
4. Database Integration (trade history)
5. Risk Manager (daily limits)
6. Enhanced Notifications (trade updates)
