Introduction to GrailHub
Section titled “Introduction to GrailHub”GrailHub is a visual flow programming platform designed specifically for building trading bots and automated trading strategies.

What is GrailHub?
Section titled “What is GrailHub?”GrailHub allows you to build sophisticated trading bots by connecting pre-built components in a visual flow diagram. Each component performs a specific function—from fetching market data to executing trades—and you connect them together to create your complete trading strategy.
Key Concepts
Section titled “Key Concepts”A flow is a complete trading strategy represented as a visual diagram. Flows consist of nodes (components) connected by edges that define how data flows through your strategy.
Components
Section titled “Components”Components are the building blocks of your flows. Each component has:
- Inputs: Data the component receives
- Outputs: Data the component produces
- Configuration: Settings that control the component’s behavior
A node is an instance of a component in your flow. You can use the same component multiple times with different configurations.
Edges connect nodes together, defining the path that data takes through your flow.
