# Unified Trading System Architecture

A high-performance trading system that seamlessly handles backtesting, paper trading, and live trading using a three-tier architecture optimized for different performance requirements.

## Architecture Overview

### Three-Tier Design

1. **Rust Core (Hot Path - Microseconds)**
   - Order book management
   - Order matching engine  
   - Real-time risk checks
   - Position tracking
   - Live P&L calculations

2. **Bun Orchestrator (Warm Path - Milliseconds)**
   - System coordination
   - Data routing and normalization
   - API gateway (REST + WebSocket)
   - Exchange connectivity
   - Strategy management

3. **Python Analytics (Cold Path - Seconds+)**
   - Portfolio optimization
   - Complex risk analytics
   - ML model inference
   - Performance attribution
   - Market regime detection

## Trading Modes

### Backtest Mode
- Processes historical data at maximum speed
- Realistic fill simulation with market impact
- Comprehensive performance metrics
- Event-driven architecture for accuracy

### Paper Trading Mode
- Uses real-time market data
- Simulates fills using actual order book
- Tracks virtual portfolio with realistic constraints
- Identical logic to live trading for validation

### Live Trading Mode
- Connects to real brokers/exchanges
- Full risk management and compliance
- Real-time position and P&L tracking
- Audit trail for all activities

## Key Features

### Unified Strategy Interface
Strategies work identically across all modes:
```typescript
class MyStrategy extends BaseStrategy {
  async onMarketData(data: MarketData) {
    // Same code works in backtest, paper, and live
    const signal = await this.generateSignal(data);
    if (signal.strength > 0.7) {
      await this.submitOrder(signal.toOrder());
    }
  }
}
```

### Mode Transitions
Seamlessly transition between modes:
- Backtest → Paper: Validate strategy performance
- Paper → Live: Deploy with confidence
- Live → Paper: Test modifications safely

### Performance Optimizations

**Backtest Mode:**
- Batch data loading
- Parallel event processing
- Memory-mapped large datasets
- Columnar data storage

**Paper/Live Mode:**
- Lock-free data structures
- Batched market data updates
- Efficient cross-language communication
- Minimal allocations in hot path

## Getting Started

### Prerequisites
- Rust (latest stable)
- Bun runtime
- Python 3.10+
- Docker (for dependencies)

### Installation

1. **Build Rust Core:**
```bash
cd apps/stock/core
cargo build --release
npm run build:napi
```

2. **Install Bun Orchestrator:**
```bash
cd apps/stock/orchestrator
bun install
```

3. **Setup Python Analytics:**
```bash
cd apps/stock/analytics
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # or venv\Scripts\activate on Windows
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

### Running the System

1. **Start Analytics Service:**
```bash
cd apps/stock/analytics
python main.py
```

2. **Start Orchestrator:**
```bash
cd apps/stock/orchestrator
bun run dev
```

3. **Connect to UI:**
Open WebSocket connection to `ws://localhost:3002`

## API Examples

### Submit Order (REST)
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:3002/api/orders \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "symbol": "AAPL",
    "side": "buy",
    "quantity": 100,
    "orderType": "limit",
    "limitPrice": 150.00
  }'
```

### Subscribe to Market Data (WebSocket)
```javascript
const socket = io('ws://localhost:3002');

socket.emit('subscribe', {
  symbols: ['AAPL', 'GOOGL'],
  dataTypes: ['quote', 'trade']
});

socket.on('marketData', (data) => {
  console.log('Market update:', data);
});
```

### Run Backtest
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:3002/api/backtest/run \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "mode": "backtest",
    "startDate": "2023-01-01T00:00:00Z",
    "endDate": "2023-12-31T23:59:59Z",
    "symbols": ["AAPL", "GOOGL", "MSFT"],
    "initialCapital": 100000,
    "strategies": [{
      "id": "mean_reversion_1",
      "name": "Mean Reversion Strategy",
      "enabled": true,
      "allocation": 1.0,
      "symbols": ["AAPL", "GOOGL", "MSFT"],
      "parameters": {
        "lookback": 20,
        "entryZScore": 2.0,
        "exitZScore": 0.5
      }
    }]
  }'
```

## Configuration

3. Add caching if needed
4. Update API documentation

## Performance Benchmarks

**"No market data received"**
- Verify data-ingestion service is running
