FMZ Platform Architecture and Steps for Running a Trading Bot
Summary
This guide explains how the FMZ Quant platform organizes strategy development and bot operation. Users manage strategies and bots through the website, while a Docker service on their own or a rented machine connects to exchanges, runs the strategy, and sends logs back. It outlines a typical setup sequence: add exchange credentials, create a strategy, deploy a Docker service, and launch a bot. The platform supports several programming languages and exchange types, including cryptocurrency markets and commodity futures.
The guide also describes simulated and live trading, strategy sharing, account settings, and the handling of API keys and source code. Its practical value is mainly in explaining platform workflow and deployment; it does not teach a trading signal or provide performance evidence. Security, costs, supported venues, and other platform details are claims made by the guide and may change. The introductory example is a price alert bot, and the document does not evaluate the risks of any live trading strategy.
Key ideas
- FMZ separates website based strategy management from execution on a user deployed Docker service.
- A basic bot setup involves exchange credentials, a strategy, a Docker service, and a bot instance.
- The platform supports simulated trading and live connections across several asset classes and exchanges.
- The guide discusses API key protection and options for keeping or sharing strategy source code.
- The document explains platform use rather than presenting a tested trading method.
