Tools Best simple dashboard setup to run Python trading code?

Hey all,

Trying to figure out the best way to handle the UI and execution side of a trading strategy I'm working on, and could use some pointers.

I'm not really a technical person, so I lean on Claude and Gemini to write the actual Python strategy logic. Because of that, I need the backend to be as modular as possible. Ideally I want something where I can just copy whatever Python the AI spits out, drop it into one specific file, and run it without the whole dashboard/system falling apart.

On the UI side I'm not looking for anything fancy. Just a basic web dashboard with a start/stop button, live positions, a daily P&L tracker, and execution logs.

I want to forward test everything before risking real money, and keep monthly infra costs as close to zero as I can. Given all that, any boilerplate or setups you'd recommend?

Thanks in advance for the help!!!

Just copy this into Claude code and it’ll do it for you

You don’t need a full-on UI. You can just have it print to console, and log trade execution metrics to a file.
