# Strategy Orchestrator

## Overview
The Strategy Orchestrator service coordinates the execution and lifecycle management of trading strategies within the stock-bot platform. It serves as the central orchestration engine that translates trading signals into executable orders while managing strategy state, performance monitoring, and risk integration.

## Key Features

### Strategy Lifecycle Management
- **Strategy Registration**: Onboarding and configuration of trading strategies
- **Version Control**: Management of strategy versions and deployments
- **State Management**: Tracking of strategy execution state
- **Activation/Deactivation**: Controlled enabling and disabling of strategies

### Execution Coordination
- **Signal Processing**: Consumes and processes signals from Signal Engine
- **Order Generation**: Translates signals into executable trading orders
- **Execution Timing**: Optimizes order timing based on market conditions
- **Multi-strategy Coordination**: Manages interactions between strategies

### Performance Monitoring
- **Real-time Metrics**: Tracks strategy performance metrics in real-time
- **Alerting**: Notifies on strategy performance anomalies
- **Execution Quality**: Measures and reports on execution quality
- **Strategy Attribution**: Attributes P&L to specific strategies

### Risk Integration
- **Pre-trade Risk Checks**: Validates orders against risk parameters
- **Position Tracking**: Monitors strategy position and exposure
- **Risk Limit Enforcement**: Ensures compliance with risk thresholds
- **Circuit Breakers**: Implements strategy-specific circuit breakers

## Integration Points

### Upstream Connections
- Signal Engine (for trading signals)
- Feature Store (for real-time feature access)
