## Available Clients

// Create a client instance
const backtestClient = createBacktestClient('http://localhost:4002');

// Run a backtest

## Creating Custom Clients

Extend the `BaseApiClient` to create clients for other services:

```typescript
import { BaseApiClient } from '@stock-bot/api-client';

class RiskGuardianClient extends BaseApiClient {
  async getRiskLimits(portfolioId: string) {
    return this.client.get(`/api/risk/limits/${portfolioId}`);
  }
}
```
