---

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• .NET SDK (6.0 or later) installed
  • Install from Microsoft’s official site
• Optionally, an IDE like Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, or Rider

Setup & Build

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/polymathLTE/TradingBridge.git
   cd TradingBridge
   
   

2. Restore dependencies & build

   dotnet restore
   dotnet build --configuration Release

3. Run the project

   dotnet run --project src/TradingBridge

Configuration

TradingBridge supports configuration via appsettings.json and environment variables. Create or adjust an appsettings.json under src/TradingBridge/, for example:

{
  "Trading": {
    "Symbol": "BTC-USD",
    "FastPeriod": 12,
    "SlowPeriod": 26,
    "SignalPeriod": 9,
    "DataSourceUrl": "https://api.example.com/price"
  }
}

For production secrets (API keys, etc.), use:

• Environment Variables, or
• .NET user-secrets for local development — never commit sensitive data!

---

Usage

Run the trading logic in command line:

dotnet run --project src/TradingBridge

You can pass additional runtime arguments or toggle logging:

dotnet run --project src/TradingBridge -- --symbol BTC-USD --fast 10 --slow 24 --signal 8

Or, experiment interactively in REPL mode (if implemented):

dotnet watch run --project src/TradingBridge

---

Example

A minimal example run:

Initializing MACD strategy for BTC-USD...
Fetching price data from https://api.example.com/price...
Series length: 500
Fast EMA (12), Slow EMA (26), Signal EMA (9)
Latest MACD Histogram: +0.0023
Signal: Buy

(Your output and logging may vary based on current design.)
