KiteConnect Instance (Port 5001 – NSE/MCX):

cd /Users/mac/dyad-apps/probable-fiesta/openalgo
./QUICK_START.sh

2. Verify Server Status

Quick Status Check:

cd /Users/mac/dyad-apps/probable-fiesta/openalgo
./CHECK_STATUS.sh

Detailed Health Check:

cd /Users/mac/dyad-apps/probable-fiesta/openalgo
source /Users/mac/dyad-apps/openalgo/venv/bin/activate
python3 scripts/authentication_health_check.py

3. Check Broker Authentication

KiteConnect (Port 5001):

• Open: http://127.0.0.1:5001/auth/broker
• If token expired, reconnect Zerodha

Dhan (Port 5002):

• Open: http://127.0.0.1:5002/auth/broker
• Verify login status

4. Verify Strategies

Strategy Dashboard:

• Open: http://127.0.0.1:5001/python (KiteConnect strategies)
• Open: http://127.0.0.1:5002/python (Dhan strategies)
• Verify all strategies are enabled
• Check schedules: 09:30-15:15 IST

5. Monitor Dashboard

Main Dashboard:

• Open: http://127.0.0.1:5001/dashboard
• Check positions, orders, PnL

Monitoring

Real-Time Monitoring

Check Strategy Logs:

cd /Users/mac/dyad-apps/probable-fiesta/openalgo
tail -f logs/strategy_*.log | grep -E "\[ENTRY\]|\[EXIT\]|\[REJECTED\]|\[ERROR\]"

Monitor All Strategy Logs:

cd /Users/mac/dyad-apps/probable-fiesta/openalgo
bash scripts/check_all_strategy_logs.sh

Check Positions:

curl http://127.0.0.1:5001/positions | jq

Check Orders:

curl http://127.0.0.1:5001/orderbook | jq

Key Endpoints

Troubleshooting

Strategies Not Running

Check:

1. Server is running: lsof -i :5001 or lsof -i :5002
2. Strategies are enabled in /python dashboard
3. Market hours: 09:15-15:30 IST (weekdays only)
4. API key is configured: Check OPENALGO_APIKEY env var

Fix:

# Restart specific strategy
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5001/api/v1/strategy/restart \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"strategy": "strategy_name"}'

No Orders Being Placed

Common Causes:

1. Entry conditions too strict (check logs for [REJECTED])
2. Risk limits blocking entries (portfolio heat limit)
3. API connectivity issues
4. Market closed or outside trading hours

Diagnosis:

# Check strategy logs for rejection reasons
grep "\[REJECTED\]" logs/strategy_*.log

# Check risk limits
curl http://127.0.0.1:5001/risk | jq

403 Errors

Fix 403 errors:

cd /Users/mac/dyad-apps/probable-fiesta/openalgo
python3 scripts/fix_403_strategies.py

Restart affected strategies:

bash scripts/restart_403_strategies.sh

Authentication Issues

KiteConnect Token Expired:

1. Go to http://127.0.0.1:5001/auth/broker
2. Click “Reconnect Zerodha”
3. Complete OAuth flow

Dhan Login Issues:

• Check: openalgo/DHAN_LOGIN_TROUBLESHOOTING.md
• Verify credentials in .env file
• Check port 5002 is not blocked

Deployment

Deploy Ranked Strategies

After backtesting and ranking:

cd /Users/mac/dyad-apps/probable-fiesta/openalgo/strategies

This script:

1. Reads backtest ranking results
2. Enables top-ranked strategies
3. Configures parameters from optimization
4. Sets up monitoring

Manual Strategy Deployment

Enable Strategy:

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5001/api/v1/strategy/enable \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "strategy": "strategy_name",
    "symbol": "NIFTY",
    "params": {
      "risk_per_trade": 0.02,
      "stop_loss_pct": 1.5
    }
  }'
