Production-grade algorithmic trading infrastructure for Node.js — from Pine Script execution and LLM signal generation to live exchange connectivity and interactive dashboards. One codebase for backtest, paper, and live trading.
Start here: Clone the reference implementation — a fully working news-sentiment AI trading system with LLM forecasting, multi-timeframe data, and a documented February 2026 backtest.

Look-Ahead Bias is Architecturally Impossible
Temporal context flows automatically through AsyncLocalStorage — every getCandles() call is implicitly bounded to the current backtest tick. No timestamp parameters to pass, no future data to accidentally leak.
Same Code, Backtest → Paper → Live
Strategy functions are unaware of execution mode. Switch from historical simulation to real exchange connectivity by changing one flag.
LLM as Signal Generator
The framework provides structured pipelines for injecting multi-timeframe technical analysis, order book data, and news sentiment into LLM context — while keeping temporal isolation and validation invariants intact.
Pine Script indicators if you want to
Port your existing TradingView strategies to Node.js without rewriting a single line — @backtest-kit/pinets executes Pine Script v5/v6 locally via the PineTS runtime, extracts plot values into typed objects, and feeds them directly into the signal pipeline alongside LLM-generated signals.
