AutoTrade v2.0.0 ships deep n8n integration and a hardened local-HTTP workflow so you can orchestrate execution from visual automations with zero broker lock-in.

• Native n8n workflows: Trigger AutoTrade from n8n using n8n-nodes-autotrade. Build end-to-end flows (alerts → risk checks → AutoTrade) without custom plugins.
• Token-based auth for local HTTP: Secure your local agent with reusable tokens. Send Authorization: Bearer headers from n8n (or any client) to authorize execution calls. Rotate or revoke tokens anytime.
• Simple endpoints: New local routes for /execute (single action), /sequence (multi-step click flows), and /schedule (create one-off or recurring jobs). Designed for low-latency desktop execution.
• Broker-agnostic click automation: Your strategy stays the same while AutoTrade performs precise UI clicks on whatever platform is on your desktop. No broker APIs required; switch providers without changing code.

Step by step

Goal: Trigger AutoTrade actions from n8n (e.g., execute/cancel orders, toggle strategies) using authenticated HTTP calls.

Prerequisites

• AutoTrade running
• Local n8n instance up

Quick Overview

1. Install n8n-nodes-autotrade (Community Nodes).
2. Generate token in AutoTrade → Settings → HTTP Connection.
3. Create workflow with your trigger.
4. Add AutoTrade node → set credentials, URL, robot, action, and field mappings.
5. Test, then Activate in production.

Run your flow and the magic happens ⚡️

Install the connector

In n8n:

1. Go to Settings → Community Nodes.
2. Click Install and search for n8n-nodes-autotrade package.
3. Confirm installation.

Generate AutoTrade credentials (Token)

In AutoTrade Pro:

1. Log in.
2. Go to Settings → HTTP Connection.
3. Click “+” to generate a new API token, then copy it.

Keep the token secret. Treat it like a password.

Create a New Workflow in n8n

1. Click New Workflow.
2. Add a trigger.

Add & Configure the AutoTrade Node

1. Add the AutoTrade node.
2. Credentials: create/select credentials and paste your token.
3. Base URL: use your AutoTrade URL (e.g., http://127.0.0.1:5555).
4. Robot name: type your robot’s name (must exist in AutoTrade).

Test the Flow

1. Click Execute Workflow (top right) to run in test mode.
2. Inspect the AutoTrade node output for success/response.

Networking Tips

• Local AutoTrade: use http://127.0.0.1:5555 from the same machine; if n8n runs in Docker, use the container name/network alias instead of localhost.
• Remote AutoTrade: expose via a reverse proxy (Caddy/Nginx), enable TLS, and restrict by IP/rate-limit.
• Firewalls: open the AutoTrade port only to n8n if possible.
