Root User Setup

TradeJS CLI defaults to --user root, so creating a valid root account is the fastest way to start.

1. Create or Update Root User​

npx @tradejs/cli user-add -u root -p 'StrongPassword123!'

What this does:

  • hashes password with bcrypt
  • writes user record to Redis key users:index:root
  • keeps account-level settings in the same Redis user record

2. Check User in Redis​

redis-cli JSON.GET users:index:root

You should see at least:

  • userName
  • passwordHash
  • updatedAt

After you save account settings in the UI, the same record can also contain:

  • BYBIT_API_KEY
  • BYBIT_API_SECRET
  • AI_API_KEY
  • AI_API_ENDPOINT
  • TG_BOT_TOKEN
  • TG_CHAT_ID

3. Sign In to the App​

  1. Open your TradeJS sign-in page (or your API client).
  2. Log in with root and your password.
  3. Open the account settings drawer from the gear icon in the left sidebar.
  4. Configure the settings you need for this user:
    • Bybit API key/secret
    • password rotation
    • AI provider API key/endpoint
    • Telegram bot token/chat id

4. Rotate Password​

Set new password:

npx @tradejs/cli user-add -u root -p 'NewStrongPassword456!'

Notes:

  • Password can also be rotated from the account settings drawer after sign-in.
  • Secret values are stored in Redis per user and shown masked in the UI.
  • Legacy passwordless token fields are removed by the current account-settings API and are not accepted by user-add.
