​
Gap Closure Implementation Plan

​
Objective

Transform Certio from a “One-Way Fire & Forget” system into a “Two-Way Command & Control” platform, achieving feature parity with TradersPost’s dashboard capabilities while maintaining our specific advantage in the MT4/Prop Firm space.

​
Core Features (The “Controller” Dashboard)

  1. Live Position Tracking (Two-Way Sync): Dashboard shows real-time open positions, PnL, and Equity from the MT4 terminal.
  2. Remote Trade Management: User can click “Close” or “Flatten All” in the Dashboard, which triggers execution on the MT4 terminal.

​
Phase 1: The “Live state” (Two-Way Sync)

​
1.1 Client Side (MQL4/5 Bridge)

  • Action: Implement SendSnapshot() function.
  • Logic: Every 5 seconds (and immediately on Order changes), scan all open orders.
  • Payload: 
    {
  "type": "SNAPSHOT",
  "account": 123456,
  "equity": 10050.50,
  "balance": 10000.00,
  "positions": [
    {"ticket": 123, "symbol": "EURUSD", "type": "BUY", "lots": 1.0, "profit": 50.50}
  ]
}
  • Transport: HTTP POST to /api/v1/sync.

​
1.2 Backend (Ingress & Redis)

  • New Endpoint: POST /api/v1/sync (Authenticated).
  • Storage: Use Redis Hashes for instant access.
    • HSET user:{secret}:state equity 10050.50
    • SET user:{secret}:positions <JSON_BLOB>
  • API for Frontend: GET /api/v1/state returns the latest cached snapshot.

​
1.3 Frontend (Dashboard UI)

  • New Component: PositionTable.tsx.
  • New Widget: AccountStats.tsx (Live Equity/Balance).
  • Data Fetching: Poll /api/v1/state every 3s (or use SWR).

​
Phase 2: The “Remote Control” (Action Actions)

​
2.1 Backend (Ingress)

  • New Endpoint: POST /api/v1/command.
  • Request: {"command": "CLOSE", "ticket": 123} or {"command": "FLATTEN"}.
  • Logic: Push command to a high-priority Redis Queue: commands:{secret}.

​
2.2 Client Side (MQL Bridge)

  • Logic: The existing worker (Certio_Worker) is already polling. We modify the response of the poll to include “System Commands” alongside “Trade Signals”.
  • Execution:
    • if (command == "CLOSE") OrderClose(ticket)...
    • if (command == "FLATTEN") CloseAll()...

​
2.3 Frontend (Dashboard UI)

  • UI Update: Add “Red X” (Close) button to PositionTable.
  • UI Update: Add “Panic Button” (Flatten All) to the header.

​
Execution Order

  1. Backend Extensions (Go): Define structs, endpoints, and Redis schema.
  2. MQL Upgrade: Modify Certio_Worker.mq4/5 to send snapshots and handle Close commands.
  3. Frontend Build: Create the new UI components to visualize functionality.

​
Verification

  • Success: I open a trade manually in MT4 -> It appears on Dashboard (Sync).
  • Success: I click “Close” on Dashboard -> MT4 closes the trade (Control).
