Gotchi Trader

Most automated trading dashboards quietly lie. They mark open positions to an assumed price, add that to realised gains, and present the sum as PnL — which makes every strategy look profitable right up until it is traded with real money. The research loop is also usually missing: there is no reproducible path from raw data to a backtested strategy.

Gotchi Trader is built as a research pipeline rather than a dashboard: ingest, then feature generation, then strategy definition, then backtest, then a GraphQL API, then paper or live execution. CoinGecko supplies the long price history that backtests need; Uniswap supplies live execution quotes so fills are priced against real liquidity. The accounting layer separates realised gains from unrealised mark-to-market and labels every number with its source. Every paper fill attempts a real Uniswap Quoter V2 call on Base — there is no assumed fallback spread — and any fill that cannot be quoted is skipped and recorded with a structured reason rather than silently estimated.

Extracted from an earlier trading scaffold into a standalone platform with quote-backed fill statistics, average drift tracking, and an explicit open-mark figure that is never folded into total PnL.
