Segnals Architecture Overview
Segnals is an institutional-grade algorithmic trading software platform. It provides high-frequency telemetry, multi-timeframe signal validation, automated position sizing, and broker execution bridges across Crypto (Bybit, Binance, Phemex) and Forex/CFDs (MetaTrader 5).
The Non-Custodial Protocol
Security in automated trading begins with refusing custody. Segnals operates under a strict zero-custody mandate:
No Deposit Contracts
Users never deposit capital to Segnals. Your trading balance remains in your own segregated broker or exchange wallet at all times.
Withdrawal-Restricted APIs
Segnals enforces that connected exchange API keys have withdrawal permissions disabled. The engine only executes order placing, cancelling, and telemetry reads.
MetaTrader 5 (MT5) Wine Bridge
Traditional Forex bot platforms require users to install clunky local Windows VPS machines. Segnals replaces this with isolated, server-side Linux containers running custom-built Wine servers with zero-copy socket bridges directly into broker endpoints.
# Sample MT5 Order Execution Pipeline
Signal Event → Volatility Gate → Loss-Lock Check → Socket Bridge → MT5 Broker (8ms avg fill)
Autonomous Risk Guard & Loss Lock
Every active bot is monitored in real-time by the Segnals Risk Guard daemon. It mathematically computes position drawdowns and fires protective measures:
- ATR Trailing Stop: Dynamically adjusts stop-loss thresholds based on average true range to lock in accrued unrealized profit.
- Loss Lock Enforcer: If cumulative portfolio drawdown breaches user-configured thresholds, new order entries are immediately frozen across all connected pairs.
- Spread & Wick Filters: Prevents order execution during severe broker liquidity gaps or abnormal slippage events.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server
