GALNT Prime — User Manual

Version 0.1.0 · macOS (Apple Silicon)

Welcome to GALNT Prime — an AI-assisted, multi-exchange trading desk for your Mac. Talk to an AI to place trades, build automated rules, watch live markets across exchanges, rebalance portfolios, and get alerted when conditions you care about happen.

A note on safety: GALNT Prime ships in Dry Run mode by default — rules and orders are simulated, not sent to a real exchange, until you deliberately turn Dry Run off. Read Going Live before trading real money.


1. Getting started

Installing

  1. Open the GALNT Prime_0.1.0_aarch64.dmg you received.
  2. Drag GALNT Prime into your Applications folder.
  3. Launch it from Applications. The app is signed and notarized by Apple, so it opens without security warnings.

First launch & sign-in

On first launch you'll be asked to sign in so GALNT Prime can check your license:

GALNT Prime only reads your email address to verify your subscription — nothing else is collected.

New accounts start a free trial automatically (see Account & plans).

The welcome / sign-in screen The welcome / sign-in screen.

The Setup Guide

After signing in, a short two-step Setup Guide appears:

  1. Connect an exchangeSettings → Exchanges: pick your exchange and paste its API key/secret. Read + trade permissions are enough; withdrawal access is never needed.
  2. Add an AI provider keySettings → AI Providers: paste a key for Claude, OpenAI, or Gemini. This powers chat trading, rule building, and news alerts.

Tick "Don't show this again" to skip it next time, or choose Take me to Settings to start immediately. You can revisit everything in Settings at any point.


2. The interface at a glance

GALNT Prime has three regions:

┌────────────┬─────────────────────────────────┬──────────────┐
│  SIDEBAR   │          CENTER COLUMN          │     CHAT     │
│            │   (changes with the active tab) │  (persists)  │

└────────────┴─────────────────────────────────┴──────────────┘

The sidebar (left)

The chat column (right)

The AI chat panel stays open on Chat & Trade, Portfolios, Rules, and Reports. Switching between those tabs changes only the center column — your conversation, scroll position, and any in-progress request are preserved.

The Pause switch

Pause All instantly halts all rule execution and all AI calls — nothing trades and nothing is sent to a provider. The sidebar shows a banner: "All Adapters Paused — No orders or AI calls will be made." Click Resume All to re-enable. Use it as an emergency stop.

Focus mode

Clicking an exchange in the Connections panel focuses the app on that one venue — the Market Overview, Portfolios, and chat context all narrow to it. Focus clears automatically if that exchange is later disabled.


3. Connecting exchanges & AI providers

Adding an exchange

  1. Go to Settings → Exchanges.
  2. Open the + Add an exchange… dropdown and pick yours.
  3. Paste the required credentials (use the show/hide toggle to check them), then click Connect.
  4. For testable exchanges, click Test to confirm the connection — you'll get a green (ok) or red (error) result.

Create the API key in your exchange account's own API settings. Read + trade permissions are sufficient; do not enable withdrawals.

Settings → Exchanges — adding an exchange Settings → Exchanges — adding an exchange.

Adding an AI provider

Go to Settings → AI Providers and paste a key for any of:

ProviderKey looks likeGet a key at
Claude (Anthropic) — defaultsk-ant-api…console.anthropic.com
OpenAIsk-…platform.openai.com
Gemini (Google)AIza…aistudio.google.com

You can add one, several, or none. At least one key is required for chat-driven trading, rule building, and news alerts. The strategy builders work without AI.

Settings → AI Providers Settings → AI Providers.


4. Chat & Trade

The Chat & Trade tab is the heart of GALNT Prime: a market view on the left and an AI chat panel on the right.

Using the chat

The Chat & Trade panel with quick-start chips The Chat & Trade panel with quick-start chips.

What you can ask the AI to do

The assistant can take real actions on your connected exchanges:

Just describe what you want in plain language — for example:

How order confirmation works

The AI never places a real order silently. When it's ready, it proposes the order and asks "Shall I place it?", and the chat shows two buttons:

Harmless actions — alerts, balance snapshots, news lookups — don't need confirmation.

Inline charts

When you ask about price or markets, a candlestick chart appears right in the chat:


5. Strategy builders

Four guided, step-by-step wizards build common strategies without needing AI. Launch them from the chip buttons in the chat welcome message. Each appears inline in the chat and ends with a review screen.

⚡ Arb Builder — cross-exchange arbitrage

Set up monitoring or execution of price gaps between exchanges.

  1. Market — Spot or Perpetuals.
  2. Exchanges — pick two or more connected venues.
  3. Pair — choose from pairs supported on all selected venues.
  4. Minimum margin — the spread that triggers it (presets 0.05–0.5% or custom), plus a cooldown to avoid repeat fires.
  5. ModeAlert me only, or Execute the trade (you set the size per leg; the dry-run state is shown).
  6. ReviewCreate rules (one per directed venue pair).

Alert-only rules go live immediately; executing rules are staged and require confirmation to arm.

📰 Trade the News — event-driven trading

React automatically to economic events.

  1. Event — FOMC, CPI, NFP, GDP, a Fed speech, or a custom event.
  2. Outcome — cut / hike / hold / above / below / in-line, or custom.
  3. ActionAlert me, Trade (pick market, pair, side, size, venues), or Portfolio Rebalance to a template (Premium).
  4. Review → arm the rule.

🥷 Stealth Builder — hidden stop orders

Create a stop that rests locally and is only submitted to the exchange when the trigger price hits — nothing shows on the public order book until then.

  1. Buy or sell + Market (Spot/Perps).
  2. Exchange and pair.
  3. Stop trigger — fire when price rises to ≥ or falls to ≤ your level.
  4. Order to submit — limit (with a limit price) or market, and the quantity.
  5. ReviewArm stealth order.

Example: "When BTC falls to ≤ $60,000, submit a limit buy of 0.5 BTC at $59,500" — invisible on the book until triggered.

⚙️ Auto-Rebalance Builder — event-driven rebalancing (Premium)

Rebalance your whole portfolio to a saved template when an event occurs.

  1. Event and outcome (as above).
  2. Template — pick a saved allocation (create one in Portfolios → Portfolio Manager).
  3. Schedule — always-on, or only within a time window; run once or every time the event recurs.
  4. ReviewArm auto-rebalance.

6. Market Overview

The left pane of the Chat & Trade tab. Three sub-tabs:

Spot

Market Overview — Spot, with the compare chart and order books Market Overview — Spot, with the compare chart and order books.

Perps

Perpetual swap markets (e.g. BTC-USDT-SWAP). Same chart and order-book layout as Spot, plus a funding-rate badge (rate + time to next settlement) on each card. Perps are currently wired for OKX.

Predictions

Binary prediction markets via Kalshi (connect Kalshi in Settings to use this).


7. Portfolios

A card for every enabled exchange (or just the focused one). The header shows how many of your connected venues are displayed and a Portfolio Manager button.

Each exchange card shows:

Placing an order directly

Click a tradable holding (or use the BUY/SELL buttons on an order book) to open the order ticket:

The order ticket The order ticket.


8. Portfolio Manager (rebalancing)

Open it from the Portfolios header. It walks you through rebalancing one or more accounts to a target allocation, in five steps:

  1. Template — create or pick a target allocation (assets + target weights; the donut previews it and flags when weights total ≈ 100%). Templates can be edited, duplicated, or deleted.
  2. Accounts — choose which connected accounts to rebalance. Each card shows current-vs-target drift per asset (color-coded by size) and the estimated order count and fees.
  3. Preview — see the exact sell and buy orders per account, with notional, fees, and before/after drift. Sells execute first to free cash for buys. You must tick the acknowledgment box (orders can't be undone once submitted) before continuing. In Dry Run the button reads Confirm & simulate; live it reads Confirm & execute.
  4. Execution — live progress per account with status icons for each order (queued, submitted, partial, filled, failed). You can Abort, Retry, or resubmit a leg as market.
  5. Report — a completion summary: value rebalanced, fills, partials, failures, fees, and residual drift, with Before → Target → After allocation pies per account. Export CSV to Desktop, start a New rebalance, or click Done.

A "snapshot too old" warning appears if prices may have moved since you started; refresh the snapshot before executing.

Portfolio Manager — the Preview step Portfolio Manager — the Preview step.


9. Rules

The Rules tab is where your automation lives. Create rules with Create New Rule, or describe them to the AI in chat ("If BTC drops below $60k, buy 0.001 BTC"). Each rule is a card with an on/off toggle, its trigger summary, target venue, the last time it fired, and edit (✎) / duplicate (⧉) / delete (×) buttons. Rules are grouped by type.

Rule types

TypeFires when…Typical use
Price triggerA price reaches a level, or moves a % from a baseline (up, down, or either way)Buy dips, take profit, alert on big moves
ScheduledA time you set with a cron expressionDollar-cost averaging, daily balance snapshots, auto-cancel orders
Spread / ArbitrageOrder-book conditions: inverted book, spread narrows/widens, or cross-pair arbScalp arbitrage; alert on liquidity changes
Event triggerThe AI detects a real-world event outcome (optionally with a price guard)Trade around Fed / CPI / jobs data
Perp PnL (close all)Aggregate return-on-margin across your perps hits a targetTake-profit or stop-loss across all perps at once

Creating a rule

  1. Create New Rule → choose a type (or Or ask your AI to build it conversationally).
  2. Name it and (most types) pick the platform.
  3. Set Active (arm it now) and optionally One-shot (fire once, then disable).
  4. Fill in the trigger details and the action:
    • Place order — side, market/limit, pair, and quantity. Quantity can be a fixed amount, a fixed USD spend, a % of your USD balance, or a % of your asset balance.
    • Notify only — sends an alert instead of trading.
  5. Create rule.

Price triggers can include a price guard (a second condition that must also be true). Event triggers describe the event and outcome in plain words and can run continuously or only within a time window. Perp PnL rules close every open perp on OKX & Crypto.com when aggregate ROI crosses your threshold, and are one-shot by default.

Editing, duplicating, deleting

Plan limits: the Starter (free) plan allows 1 active rule at a time; Premium is unlimited.


10. Reports

Your audit trail, in three tabs:

Use Refresh on the Filled/Open tabs to re-pull from the exchanges.

Reports → Activity log Reports → Activity log.


11. Alerts

When a notify-only rule (or an error) fires, GALNT Prime can let you know three ways — each independently controllable in Settings → Alerts:

Every alert is also recorded in Reports → Activity, so you never miss one even with popups and sound off. Use the Preview button in Settings to test your popup + chime.

To cut noise: lower the volume, turn off popups/sound globally, or give spread rules a longer cooldown.
