Create real-time web dashboard with modern UI and live visualizations

Feature Request

Summary

Create a modern, real-time web dashboard that provides a comprehensive visual interface for monitoring CryptoSlut's trading activities, signals, and performance. This will transform the current console-based system into a professional-grade platform with live charts, interactive controls, and intuitive navigation.

Problem Statement

Currently, CryptoSlut operates entirely through command-line interfaces, which limits usability and professional appeal:

Current Limitations:

  • Console-only interface limits accessibility and user experience
  • No visual representation of signals, trends, or performance
  • Difficult to monitor multiple assets and timeframes simultaneously
  • No real-time charts or technical analysis visualization
  • Limited historical data exploration capabilities
  • No portfolio or position tracking visualizations
  • Text-based alerts are easy to miss and hard to prioritize

User Experience Gaps:

  • Professional traders expect visual dashboards and charts
  • No way to quickly assess market conditions across multiple assets
  • Historical analysis requires command-line queries
  • No visual confirmation of strategy performance
  • Difficult to share insights or reports with others
  • Mobile access is not possible with current CLI-only approach

This limits CryptoSlut's appeal to professional traders and institutional users who expect modern, visual trading platforms.

Proposed Solution

Create a comprehensive web-based dashboard with modern UI and real-time capabilities:

Core Dashboard Features:

  • Real-time Signal Monitor: Live feed of signals with filtering and prioritization
  • Interactive Charts: Candlestick charts with technical indicators and signal overlays
  • Portfolio Tracker: Visual portfolio performance and position management
  • Market Overview: Multi-asset grid with key metrics and alerts
  • Performance Analytics: Charts and metrics for strategy and signal performance
  • Alert Management: Visual alert center with notification controls
  • System Status: Real-time monitoring of system health and performance

Modern UI/UX:

  • Responsive Design: Works on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices
  • Real-time Updates: WebSocket connections for live data streaming
  • Interactive Controls: Start/stop monitoring, configure strategies, adjust settings
  • Customizable Layout: Drag-and-drop widgets and personalized dashboards
  • Dark/Light Themes: Professional trading interface themes
  • Export Capabilities: Generate reports, export data, share insights

Alternative Solutions

  • Third-party dashboard platforms (less integrated, costly, limited customization)
  • Desktop GUI applications (less accessible, platform-specific)
  • Enhanced CLI with terminal graphics (limited visual capabilities)
  • Jupyter notebook interfaces (development-focused, not user-friendly)

Implementation Details

Frontend Technology Stack:

  • Framework: React or Vue.js for reactive UI components
  • Charts: Chart.js, D3.js, or TradingView widgets for financial charts
  • UI Library: Material-UI, Ant Design, or custom trading-focused components
  • Real-time: WebSockets or Server-Sent Events for live updates
  • State Management: Redux/Vuex for complex application state
  • Responsive: CSS Grid/Flexbox with mobile-first design

Backend API:

  • Web Framework: FastAPI or Flask for REST API and WebSocket endpoints
  • Real-time Data: WebSocket server for live signal and market data
  • Authentication: JWT-based authentication for multi-user support
  • Data Integration: Direct integration with existing CryptoSlut backend
