Quickstart

The fastest path is the Docker bundle — no toolchain, three commands:

# from the unzipped bundle (holdoutlab.com/download)
./setup.sh
docker compose up -d

Open http://localhost:8080 → register (the first account becomes the owner) → follow the Getting started checklist on the Learn tab. No keys needed: ingest the crypto starter basket (free public data), backtest it, run the gauntlet, and paper-trade the sandbox. For equities, add a free Tiingo key in Settings (paste → Test).

The maintained walkthroughs:

• Install with Docker — the recommended install (requirements, IB paper, updating, backup).
• Install from source — the developer setup (uv, Node, scripts/start.sh, http://localhost:5173).
• First run — register, add keys in Settings (with a one-click Test), ingest data, and run your first validated strategy.
• Documentation home — everything else.
