## Description

This project is a futures algorithmic trading system designed to execute high-performance trading strategies through direct API integrations and low-latency message routing. It features a strategy execution engine that automates order placement and manages trade flows based on predefined logic and API triggers.

The system utilizes a native trading API bridge and a low-latency message bus to interface internal logic with external exchange APIs while minimizing execution delays. Monitoring is handled through a web-based trading dashboard for real-time activity tracking and remote management.

Broad capabilities include algorithmic order management, asynchronous notification delivery via background queues for corporate messaging, and system administration through a command-line interface. Runtime parameters are managed via configuration merging of YAML and INI files.
