I messed up the R1 response when updating the code.
Here is the fixed version.

Thanks again, @Xard777.

CodeSage is now up and running. I’ve added a USD 10.00 credit to DeepSeek for the API.

I used Anti-Gravity for the installation.

I simply pointed Anti-Gravity to the CodeSage folder on my drive and told it:
“Setup CodeSage for me.”

After that, I just followed the prompts and clicked Run/Execute when required. The only manual step was adding the DeepSeek API key.

The rest of the installation was automatically handled and managed by Anti-Gravity.

Hope you’ll release the latest updated version for HomeLAB soon.

Thanks once again.

Stay blessed always.

I'm glad you installed it and it's working well for you... Is the $10 for Deepseek per month or a one-time payment? I'm trying to create a free home lab (I'm a beginner), and if it works well, I'll share it here. I was inspired by Xard777 (by the way, I haven't commented on his posts yet because I haven't had time to try his home lab, but he's a genius, I'm sure everything works perfectly).

I put $5 in deepseek API account about 6 weeks ago and I still have $2.56 left
The only other cloud service that is cheaper is mistral but I prefer DeepSeek.

I will post my HomeLAB v4 later today for everyone's perusal.
Best,

@vikxel

From what I understand, DeepSeek works on a Pay As You Use Basis rather than a fixed monthly subscription.

I’ve only run a few queries so far and the balance has only dropped slightly (around USD 9.99 remaining), so realistically it should last me a few months provided I don’t make any major testing mistakes or run heavy workloads.

I’m currently experimenting and learning as I go. (I am not a coder , just using AI for understing the logic what the code is doing)

Hopefully @Xard777 will release an updated/improved version of his latest homeLAB soon, ideally one that can fully integrate and communicate with the XUEffect 7.98 indicator.

Honestly, Xard’s work has always been next level. The amount of innovation, structure, and generosity he brings to the community is impressive, and his systems consistently push traders to think differently about workflow and automation.

That would make the whole setup even more powerful.

Thanks

**Introducing HomeLAB v4**

The quickest way to get started is to let Antigravity handle the setup. You'll be up and running in minutes.

**Key Setup Requirements:**
HomeLAB v4 requires a JSON data feed from the EFFECT indicator. This feed must come from three charts of the same market, using the three specific timeframes: M1, M4, and M15.

**Configuration Note:**
By default, the EFFECT indicator has `InpFileOutput = false`. You must change this setting to `true` so the JSON data is written to the `Common/Files` directory. Once this is done, HomeLAB will detect the feed and begin displaying live data in its right-hand panels.

**Using the Analysis Panel:**
The left side of HomeLAB is dedicated to analysis. You can use it with Gemma4 locally or with DeepSeek-V3 via the cloud. To begin analysis, click the **ANALYZE** button.

**A Note on Performance:**
During my testing, everything ran smoothly until I clicked ANALYZE. At that point, my 24GB Radeon 7900 XTX GPU saw its temperature rise from 27°C to 51°C. To address this thermal load, I'm planning to add a second GPU. I'm waiting for the Intel B70 (32GB) to become available in the UK for under £1,000. This setup would allow the Intel GPU to handle Gemma4 effortlessly, while my 7900 XTX manages MT5 and the JSON feed, keeping both GPUs running cool.

**How It Works Together:**
The data "genome" from the EFFECT indicator feeds into the HomeLAB Bridge, which acts as the AI's eyes. The AI then analyzes this feed, translating it into actionable market awareness for the trader, creating a synchronized trading loop.

Enjoy the HomeLAB v4

Thanks for all the hard work and sharing, all a bit over my head as yet but maybe I can get into it with time.

Just a note on the side issue you mention GPU temperatures but to note I always run the MSI Afterburner stats overlay, or more recently the Steam equivalent when gaming and just to say if my GPU is only running at 50 degrees I'd say it's not even got out of bed yet and I would automatically turn up all the quality settings just to make it work harder.

I've always noticed a rough correlation between temp and % utilisation so looked it up and found the graph below, hope this helps.

It took some time, but now Xardin HomeLab is on windows11+Intel+Nvidia. The screen is a 22" old MSI monitor. The whole thing now runs on a 6GB Nvidia graphics card.

MT5 is build 5687

Hello, congratulations and thanks for sharing your work, and don't forget to thank Xard for his enlightenment.
If you'd like, could you please provide the sequence of requests you made to Antigravity? This is the fifth time I've attempted the configuration and I can't seem to get it to work, except partially.
Tks

There is no sequence of requests i made to Antigravity saved. I told it at first that I have an Intel GPU and NVIDIA VRAM and Windows11. And that I have gemma4:e2b instead of gemma4:26b in the Ollama model.

Other as stated in the XARDIN instructions in the first post of the thread.

Attached is HomeLAB_v4.0_Community_Shared_Win11.zip. Which AI made when I asked to make a shareable zip file

EDIT:
It's not perfect, it requires further refinement, which I do all the time.

Thanks to @Xard for sharing the latest setup i.e HomeLAB_v4.0

After two days of trial and error, I finally managed to get it working.
I ran into several issues along the way, probably because I’m running this on my Dell All-in-One with the following specs:

Processor: Intel® Core™ 7 150U (1.80 GHz)
RAM: 32 GB
Graphics:
NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A (2 GB)

Intel Integrated Graphics (128 MB)
Windows 11 Pro

I installed gemma4:e2b (about 7.2 GB)

Initially, I ran out of free usage on Antigravity, so I upgraded my plan, after that, the setup process became much smoother.

That said, I’m still not fully confident everything is working correctly and might still have many errors.

I suspect there are still some issues with the Genome/ Hebbian values, as they consistently stay close to 0.50000. I haven’t seen them go above 0.60000 or below 0.40000, which makes me think something might not be behaving as expected.

I should mention that I’m completely non technical, and I managed to set all of this up with the help of AI tools.

Zipped file shared by @Pelle also helped me a lot.

I’m sharing my current machine setup (zipped file) in case it helps others who want to build or improve their own HomeLab environment.

Hopefully @Xard and rest of the community can refine and improve it further by adding more features.
