## 1. One-line description

TradingGoose is an open-source visual workflow platform for technical, LLM-driven
trading. Users connect their own market data providers, author custom indicators
in PineTS, monitor live prices, and route signals into AI-agent workflows that
trigger trades, alerts, portfolio rebalances, or any custom action.

## 2. What TradingGoose is

- A visual workflow canvas for trading strategies (drag-and-drop blocks, AI agent blocks, conditions, loops, parallel branches, and trading action blocks).
- A widget-based workspace with recursive split panels, saved layouts per workspace, and a shared widget action menu.
- A charting environment with built-in indicators (RSI, Bollinger Bands, Supertrend) and a PineTS editor for authoring custom indicators.
- A live market monitor that re-executes indicators per bar, maintains crosshair legends and chart markers, and fires triggers on configurable intervals.
- An AI-agent runtime that executes LLM-driven decisions as first-class blocks inside a workflow graph.
- A backtesting engine that replays historical candle data against any strategy.

## 3. What TradingGoose is NOT

- Not a broker and not an investment advisor.
- Does not provide financial advice.
- Does not execute trades on its own. You bring your own broker/provider
  credentials (e.g., Alpaca, Tradier) and define every action.
- Not a generic enterprise workflow builder — it is purpose-built for market
  data, indicators, and trading automations.

## 4. Editions and pricing

TradingGoose ships in two forms:

**TradingGoose Studio (open source)**
- Source code on GitHub: https://github.com/TradingGoose/TradingGoose-Studio
- Self-hosting supported
- Community-maintained

**TradingGoose Hosted (https://www.tradinggoose.ai)** — current managed cloud tiers:

| Tier | Price | Best for | Key limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pay As You Go | $0/mo | This's the default tier | See hosted plan details |

Every hosted plan includes the full platform — workspace, charting, workflows,
AI agents, and integrations.

## 5. Primary use cases

- **Signal-driven trade execution** — trigger a workflow when RSI crosses a threshold or a custom PineTS indicator fires.
- **Automated portfolio rebalancing** based on market conditions.
- **Multi-source sentiment and market analysis** combined into a single AI-agent decision.
- **Indicator alerting** into Slack, Discord, email, Telegram, Teams, or any webhook endpoint.
- **Strategy prototyping and backtesting** against historical candle data.
- **Custom dashboards** combining charts, indicators, workflow status, and live order flow in one workspace.

## 6. Key concepts (glossary)

- **Listing** — a symbol you track (ticker + venue).
- **Indicator** — a built-in or custom PineTS function that computes a signal from price data.
- **Monitor** — a rule that watches an indicator on a listing at a chosen interval and fires on signals.
- **Workflow** — a graph of blocks and AI agents that runs when a monitor triggers.
- **Workspace** — a named container of widgets, monitors, and workflows with saved split-panel layouts.
- **Widget** — a composable workspace panel (chart, indicator view, workflow status, order book, etc.).
- **Block** — a unit inside a workflow graph: data, condition, loop, parallel, AI agent, or trading action.
- **AI agent block** — an LLM-backed block that makes autonomous decisions inside a workflow.
- **PineTS** — TradingGoose's TypeScript-flavoured Pine-Script-style language for authoring custom indicators.

## 7. From data to decision — the canonical four-step flow

1. **Connect your data** — plug in any market data provider and stream live prices into the workspace.
2. **Monitor with indicators** — write custom PineTS indicators that watch for the conditions you care about.
3. **Analyze with AI agents** — let LLM-powered agent blocks evaluate signals, assess risk, and make decisions autonomously.
4. **Trigger workflows** — when a signal fires, kick off a workflow to trade, alert, log, or anything else you define.

https://github.com/TradingGoose/TradingGoose-Studio and supports self-hosting.
Enterprise hosting with custom rate limits and dedicated support is also available.

**Which LLM providers does TradingGoose support?**
OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, xAI Grok, Mistral, Perplexity,
HuggingFace, Ollama, vLLM, CrewAI, and ElevenLabs. You bring your own API keys.

**Does TradingGoose execute trades on my behalf?**
No. TradingGoose does not execute trades on its own. You connect your own broker
credentials (Alpaca, Tradier) and define every trading action block
in a workflow. TradingGoose is not a broker and is not an investment advisor.

**Is TradingGoose a broker or financial advisor?**
No. TradingGoose is a workflow platform. It does not provide financial advice
and is not a regulated broker-dealer or registered investment advisor.

**What is PineTS?**
PineTS is TradingGoose's TypeScript-flavoured indicator language used in the
built-in custom indicator editor. Indicators are live-re-executed per bar on
incoming market data and can be consumed by monitors and workflows.

**What kinds of workflows can I build?**
Signal-driven trade execution, portfolio rebalancing, multi-source sentiment
analysis feeding a single AI decision, indicator alerting to Slack/Discord/email,
strategy prototyping and backtesting, and custom dashboards that combine charts,
indicators, and live order flow.

**What is the difference between the hosted tiers?**
Pay As You Go is $0/mo. This's the default tier.

**Does TradingGoose support backtesting?**
Yes. You can replay historical candle data against any workflow or indicator.

**Can I integrate with my own data provider?**
Yes. TradingGoose is explicitly designed for bring-your-own-data — you connect
any market data provider and stream live prices into the workspace.

## 11. Example end-to-end workflow

> *Goal:* When RSI on BTC/USD crosses below 30 on the 15-minute chart, have an
> AI agent evaluate the current news sentiment and, if the sentiment is neutral
> or better, submit a limit buy order through Alpaca and post a summary to
> Discord.

1. **Listing:** add `BTC/USD @ Coinbase` and start streaming 15-minute candles from your data provider.
2. **Indicator:** use the built-in RSI indicator (or author a custom PineTS variant).
3. **Monitor:** create a monitor that fires when `RSI(14) < 30` on the 15-minute interval.
4. **Workflow (triggered by the monitor):**
   - **Data block:** fetch the last 20 BTC-related headlines via a news integration.
   - **AI agent block:** pass the headlines + current RSI + last price to an LLM (OpenAI, Claude, or local Ollama) with a prompt: *"Given this market snapshot, classify sentiment as bearish / neutral / bullish and recommend SKIP or PROCEED."*
   - **Condition block:** if the agent returns PROCEED, continue; otherwise, branch to "alert only".
   - **Trading action block:** submit a limit buy order to Alpaca at last price × 0.995 for a fixed size.
   - **Messaging block:** post an execution summary (symbol, size, price, agent rationale) to Discord.
5. **Observe:** the workflow run, the AI agent's decision, and the order status all appear in widgets on the workspace.
