Hood Trading Desk

What this app is

Hood Trading Desk is a remote control for a trading desk you run on your own machine. The app itself has no backend: it connects to a server you operate, streams what your agents are doing, and relays your instructions back to them.

You need a desk to connect to. Without one, the app shows only its pairing screen.

Getting connected

On the machine running your desk:

hood desk --serve

Then print the access token:

hood desk token

In the app, enter your machine's address and port (for example http://100.x.x.x:8787 over Tailscale) and paste the token.

Common problems

"Can't reach that address": Check the desk is running with --serve — without that flag it starts the terminal interface but no network server. Also confirm you are on the same private network as the machine. The desk serves plain http://, so an https:// address will never connect.
"That token was rejected": Re-copy it from hood desk token. A pasted token sometimes carries an invisible leading space or trailing newline.
The feed is empty: The feed shows activity from when you connected onward. If your agents are idle, there is nothing to show yet.
A position says "no exit route priced": No route can currently price that position, so its value figures are not numbers to act on. Selling still works; arming a stop does not.
An instruction was refused: Refusals come from your own desk — a spend cap, a book policy, or a safety check — and the app shows the desk's exact words. The message names what stopped it.
