# Settings Management Setup
|
|
|
|
## Initial Setup
|
|
|
|
After deploying the trading bot, you need to make the `.env` file writable by the container:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
chmod 666 /home/icke/traderv4/.env
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This allows the web UI to save settings changes directly to the `.env` file.
|
|
|
|
## Security Note
|
|
|
|
The `.env` file contains sensitive information (private keys, API keys). The file permissions of `666` (rw-rw-rw-) allow the containerized application to write settings, but the file is still protected by:
|
|
|
|
1. File system permissions (only accessible on the host)
|
|
2. Docker isolation (container runs as non-root user)
|
|
3. Network isolation (not exposed to internet)
|
|
|
|
For production environments, consider:
|
|
- Using secrets management (e.g., Docker secrets, Kubernetes secrets)
|
|
- Environment variable injection from secure vaults
|
|
- Read-only .env with separate settings database
|
|
|
|
## How It Works
|
|
|
|
1. User edits settings in web UI at http://10.0.0.48:3001/settings
|
|
2. Click "Save Settings" → API writes to `/app/.env` (mounted from host)
|
|
3. Click "Restart Bot" → Watcher restarts container
|
|
4. Container reloads settings from updated .env file
|
|
5. New configuration takes effect
|
|
|
|
## Take Profit Configuration
|
|
|
|
You can now customize BOTH the price level AND the position size for each TP:
|
|
|
|
### TP1 (Take Profit 1)
|
|
- **Price %**: When to trigger the exit (e.g., +0.7% = exit at 0.7% profit)
|
|
- **Size %**: What % of position to close (e.g., 60 = close 60% of position)
|
|
|
|
### TP2 (Take Profit 2)
|
|
- **Price %**: When to trigger the second exit (e.g., +1.5% = exit at 1.5% profit)
|
|
- **Size %**: What % of REMAINING position to close (e.g., 100 = close rest)
|
|
|
|
### Example Strategy
|
|
|
|
**Conservative (70/30 split):**
|
|
- TP1: +0.5% price, 70% size → Lock in most profit early
|
|
- TP2: +2.0% price, 30% size → Let remainder run
|
|
|
|
**Aggressive (30/70 split):**
|
|
- TP1: +1.0% price, 30% size → Take small profit
|
|
- TP2: +3.0% price, 70% size → Let most position run for bigger gains
|
|
|
|
**Balanced (50/50 split - default):**
|
|
- TP1: +0.7% price, 50% size
|
|
- TP2: +1.5% price, 50% size
|
|
|
|
The risk calculator in the web UI will dynamically show expected gains based on your settings.
