You are onboarding a new user to the OpenTradex paper-trading plugin.
Collect API keys only. v1 of this plugin is paper-only — the keys are used for authenticated read-scans (higher rate limits, better data) and are persisted locally at ~/.claude/opentradex/keys.json with 0600 permissions. No live orders are placed.
"I'll ask for your API keys for each exchange. Leave any rail blank to skip it — you can add it later. Keys never leave your machine."

~/.claude/opentradex/keys.json.node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/tradex.js" keys-delete <rail>./opentradex-trade:scan to see live markets."Open a paper long position on any enabled rail — Kalshi, Polymarket, Alpaca, or Coinbase. Invoke when the user says "buy", "go long", "paper long", "yes on <market>", or confirms a suggested entry. Requires rail, symbol, qty; price is optional (defaults to a mid-market mark).
Open a local web dashboard showing open positions, exposure, daily P&L, and recent trades. Invoke when the user says "dashboard", "open dashboard", "show my book", "pnl screen", or asks to visualise their paper-trading state. Runs a zero-dependency HTTP server on 127.0.0.1 and prints the URL.
Emergency flatten — closes ALL open paper positions at their last mark and sets a 30-minute trading cooldown. Never auto-invoke. Only run when the user explicitly types "panic", "flatten", "close everything", or "stop".
Show all open paper positions with entry, mark, and unrealized P&L. Invoke when the user says "positions", "what am I holding", "book", "blotter", or checks in on open trades.
Summarize today's risk — open positions, total exposure, daily realized/unrealized P&L, and panic-cooldown status. Invoke when the user says "risk", "how am I doing today", "P&L", "daily", "blotter", or checks before a new entry.
Scan live markets across enabled rails — Kalshi, Polymarket, Alpaca, Coinbase — and return a ranked list the user can pick from. Use whenever the user asks "what's trading", "what markets are hot", "scan crypto", "show me prediction markets", or any exploration request before a trade.
