What is shioaji-pro-app?

Shioaji Pro is a web-based trading terminal for Taiwan's stock and futures markets (TWSE, TPEX, and TAIFEX). It is the open-source front-end interface for the Shioaji trading API published by Sinotrade, a Taiwanese brokerage. The interface is built with React 19 and TypeScript and runs entirely in a browser, connecting to a local server process that handles market data and order routing. The terminal receives real-time price data through a persistent connection and displays it in candlestick charts with multiple timeframes (1 minute through daily). From the chart you can click on a price level to place a limit order at that price, or draw stop-loss and take-profit trigger lines that watch for a price to be reached and then submit a market order automatically. Pending orders appear as lines on the chart and can be dragged to a new price, which modifies the order. The flash order ladder lets you click on a price in the bid/ask book to send an order instantly. A workspace panel allows dragging and resizing any panel, opening multiple charts for different securities, and saving named layouts. Safety features include a kill switch with single-trade and daily loss limits, a keyboard shortcut to cancel all open orders, bracket orders that automatically attach a stop-loss and take-profit after a fill, and one-click position flattening. All of these are disabled by default and must be turned on manually. The application defaults to a simulation mode where orders do not use real money, switching to the live environment requires completing a certificate setup through the brokerage. To use the web version you need a Sinotrade brokerage account with an API key, Node.js 20 or later, and the Shioaji CLI running locally as a server. The desktop version (built with Tauri for macOS, Windows, and Linux) bundles the server automatically and adds an AI agent feature for automated tasks and market observation. The source code for the interface is released under AGPL-3.0. The desktop wrapper and the AI agent module are separate, proprietary components not included in this repository. Commercial use without open-sourcing modifications requires a separate license from Sinotrade.
