TraderAI
Local Ollama-, DeepSeek-, OpenAI-, or Codex-powered chat for UEX marketplace workflows.
What It Does
- Searches active/current UEX marketplace listings through
GET /marketplace_listings/. - Searches SCMDB mission data so the assistant can answer what Star Citizen missions pay or reward, including UEC, reputation, item rewards, blueprint rewards, partial payouts, and hauling cargo.
- Searches Cornerstone Universal Item Finder data so the assistant can find where in-game items are sold, including store/location, base price, and verified date.
- Reads authenticated marketplace negotiations and negotiation messages when
UEX_SECRET_KEYorUEX_BEARER_TOKENis set. - Drafts negotiation messages and marketplace listings as pending actions.
- Requires browser approval before sending authenticated write requests to UEX.
- Maintains local SQLite memory with searchable recall for user facts, preferences, and prior chat context.
- Can create one-time or recurring wake jobs that prompt the assistant later and surface the result in the UI.
- Loads the configured UEX user profile from
GET /userso the assistant knows the current account username, display name, timezone, language, and marketplace-relevant profile details. - Polls authenticated
GET /user_notificationsfor unread UEX notifications and surfaces new pending alerts in the chat notification queue.
Setup
-
Install Python 3.11+.
-
Install Ollama and pull a tool-capable model, for example:
ollama pull qwen3.5:9b -
Create
.envfrom.env.exampleand setUEX_SECRET_KEYand/orUEX_BEARER_TOKENif you want authenticated actions. If you want the cheapest hosted default, setMODEL_PROVIDER=deepseek, setDEEPSEEK_API_KEY, and keepDEEPSEEK_MODEL=deepseek-v4-flashunless you specifically wantdeepseek-v4-pro. If you want to use OpenAI instead of Ollama, setMODEL_PROVIDER=openai, setOPENAI_API_KEY, and optionally changeOPENAI_MODELfrom the defaultgpt-5.4-mini. If you want to use Codex models with ChatGPT/Codex OAuth, install the Codex CLI, setMODEL_PROVIDER=codex, and optionally changeCODEX_MODELfrom the defaultgpt-5.4. TraderAI uses the localcodex app-serverJSON-RPC interface for both authentication and chat turns.MODEL_REASONING_EFFORTcontrols reasoning depth for DeepSeek, OpenAI, and Codex and defaults tomedium.SCMDB_BASE_URLdefaults tohttps://scmdb.net.CORNERSTONE_BASE_URLdefaults tohttps://finder.cstone.space. -
Install and run:
pip install -e . uvicorn traderai.server:app --reload -

Notes
Ollama runs locally at http://localhost:11434 by default. This app can talk to Ollama's native chat API, DeepSeek's OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API, OpenAI's Chat Completions API, or the local Codex App Server authenticated through ChatGPT/Codex OAuth, then executes approved UEX calls in the FastAPI backend. OLLAMA_NUM_CTX controls the per-request Ollama context window; 64512 is the default because Ollama recommends at least 64k tokens for agent-style workflows when hardware allows it. DeepSeek context caching is provider-side and automatic when repeated prompt prefixes line up.
Releases And Updates
Change the app version before cutting a release:
.\scripts\set_version.ps1 0.2.0
Create a Gitea release with a matching tag such as v0.2.0. The release workflow builds dist\TraderAI.exe and attaches only that exe to the release.
The desktop app can check https://git.hudsonriggs.systems/LambdaBankingConglomerate/TraderAI/releases from Settings > Updates. When a newer release has a TraderAI.exe attachment, the packaged app downloads it to the user app data update folder, exits, replaces the current exe, and relaunches.
UEX marketplace posting and negotiation messages are guarded because they are account-affecting write actions. The model can draft them, but the UI approval button performs the final API call.
The assistant gets runtime context on every chat: current date/time, authenticated UEX identity when credentials are configured, remembered user profile, last interaction time, relevant memories, and recent conversation excerpts. It is instructed to prefer open/current marketplace data, avoid historical sale information unless explicitly requested, and treat UEX prices as in-game aUEC/UEC credits rather than real-world dollars. Memory is stored locally at TRADERAI_MEMORY_PATH.
Wake jobs can be created from chat, for example:
At 9 PM remind yourself to check my open Polaris Bit negotiations.
or:
Every day at 9 AM, wake up and check whether I have marketplace followups.
The scheduler accepts one-time ISO datetimes and five-field cron expressions through the schedule_wake_job tool. When a wake job fires, the assistant receives context like the current time and last interaction time, then places its response into the UI notification queue.
UEX notifications are checked every UEX_NOTIFICATION_POLL_SECONDS seconds by default. New unread notifications are deduplicated locally, then displayed in the chat through the same notification queue used by wake jobs.
