Release Notes

Onboarding walkthrough for new users, options contract lookups that work, and an opt-in /metrics endpoint.

Tradr v0.8.0 adds a guided tour that orients a new user to the platform's features and functions. It also offers demo data that lets the user explore a fully populated Tradr. Options contract lookups now actually fetch data if you have an Unusual Whales API key configured in your in-app user settings, and the options contract browser UI component works nicely too. Finally, for self-hosters who want it, a /metrics endpoint is now instrumented with various Prometheus-type metrics. Set the envvar METRICS_ENABLED=true to turn it on (it runs on port 9464 by default, overrideable via METRICS_PORT).

Highlights

  • Feature: Guided walkthrough (with checklist) and optional demo data to test-drive a populated Tradr experience.
  • Feature: Metrics a la Prometheus have been added. Tradr will expose a metrics endpoint at /metrics on METRICS_PORT (default 9464) if METRICS_ENABLED=true. Scrape with Prometheus.
  • Feature: Options contract lookup is now available if you have an Unusual Whales API key enabled in your user settings in-app.
  • Fixes: Multiple fixes in the application and build chain.
