Package Exports

  • neural-trader
  • neural-trader/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (neural-trader) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Want to extend Neural Trader with your own packages? Here's how:

Step 1: Create Package Structure

mkdir -p my-neural-trader-module
cd my-neural-trader-module

# Create package.json
npm init -y

Step 2: Configure package.json

{
  "name": "@neural-trader/my-module",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "My custom Neural Trader module",
  "main": "index.js",
  "types": "index.d.ts",
  "peerDependencies": {
    "@neural-trader/core": "^1.0.0"
  },
  "publishConfig": {
    "access": "public"
  },
  "keywords": ["neural-trader", "trading", "algorithmic-trading"]
}

Step 3: Create Module Code

index.js (Option A: Pure JavaScript)

const { BaseStrategy } = require('@neural-trader/strategies');

class MyCustomStrategy extends BaseStrategy {
  constructor(config) {
    super(config);
    this.myParameter = config.myParameter || 0.5;
  }

  async generateSignals(marketData) {
    // Your custom logic here
    const signals = [];

    // Example: Simple threshold strategy
    marketData.forEach(bar => {
      if (bar.close > bar.open * (1 + this.myParameter)) {
        signals.push({
          timestamp: bar.timestamp,
          symbol: bar.symbol,
          action: 'buy',
          quantity: 100
        });
      }
    });

    return signals;
  }
}

module.exports = {
  MyCustomStrategy
};

index.js (Option B: Rust NAPI Bindings)

// If you have Rust NAPI bindings
const {
  MyCustomIndicator,
  MyCustomBacktest
} = require('./my-module.linux-x64-gnu.node');

module.exports = {
  MyCustomIndicator,
  MyCustomBacktest
};

index.d.ts (TypeScript Definitions)

import type { StrategyConfig, Signal } from '@neural-trader/core';

export class MyCustomStrategy {
  constructor(config: StrategyConfig);
  generateSignals(marketData: MarketData[]): Promise<Signal[]>;
}

export class MyCustomIndicator {
  calculate(prices: number[], period: number): number[];
}

Step 4: Add README.md

# @neural-trader/my-module

My custom Neural Trader module.

## Installation

\`\`\`bash
npm install @neural-trader/my-module
\`\`\`

## Usage

\`\`\`typescript
import { MyCustomStrategy } from '@neural-trader/my-module';

const strategy = new MyCustomStrategy({
  myParameter: 0.75
});
\`\`\`

Step 5: (Optional) Add Rust NAPI Bindings

If you want high performance, create Rust bindings:

Cargo.toml

[package]
name = "my-neural-trader-module"
version = "1.0.0"
edition = "2021"

[lib]
crate-type = ["cdylib"]

[dependencies]
napi = "2"
napi-derive = "2"

src/lib.rs

use napi_derive::napi;

#[napi]
pub struct MyCustomIndicator {
  period: u32,
}

#[napi]
impl MyCustomIndicator {
  #[napi(constructor)]
  pub fn new(period: u32) -> Self {
    Self { period }
  }

  #[napi]
  pub fn calculate(&self, prices: Vec<f64>) -> Vec<f64> {
    // Your high-performance calculation here
    prices.iter().map(|p| p * 1.1).collect()
  }
}

Build with:

npm install -g @napi-rs/cli
napi build --platform --release

Step 6: Test Your Module

// test.ts
import { MyCustomStrategy } from './index';

const strategy = new MyCustomStrategy({
  name: 'Test',
  symbols: ['AAPL'],
  parameters: JSON.stringify({ myParameter: 0.75 })
});

const signals = await strategy.generateSignals(testData);
console.log('Generated signals:', signals);

Step 7: Publish to npm

# Test packaging
npm pack

# Publish
npm publish --access public

Module Best Practices

  1. Use Core Types: Always import types from @neural-trader/core
  2. Peer Dependencies: Add @neural-trader/core as peer dependency
  3. Documentation: Include comprehensive README with examples
  4. Testing: Add unit tests for your module
  5. TypeScript: Provide .d.ts files for IntelliSense
  6. Performance: Consider Rust NAPI bindings for performance-critical code
  7. Versioning: Follow semver (semantic versioning)

// claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "neural-trader": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["neural-trader", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}

import { StrategyRunner } from '@neural-trader/strategies';
import express from 'express';

const app = express();
const runner = new StrategyRunner();

app.post('/webhook/tradingview', async (req, res) => {
  const alert = req.body;

  // Execute trade based on TradingView alert
  if (alert.action === 'buy') {
    await executeTrade(alert.symbol, 'buy', alert.quantity);
  }

  res.json({ success: true });
});

app.listen(3000);
