# Desic Terminal

> Desic Terminal is an open-source (MIT), AI-native quant trading workstation for OKX crypto markets: a desktop app for Windows and macOS (Linux from source); trading currently covers OKX USDT perpetual swaps. Realtime charts, manual order entry, an AI trading assistant, AI trading automation behind code-enforced risk gates, and Python strategy backtesting share one live state and audit trail. Market history, audit records and credentials stay on the user's machine. Chinese: 开源的 AI 量化交易工作台（AI 交易、自动交易、策略回测），对接 OKX。
