Demo Application

Directory demo/ contains a self-contained example that wires FLOX components into a runnable engine using simulated market data.

Components

Module	Role
DemoConnector	Generates synthetic trades & book updates (mock exchange feed).
DemoStrategy	Consumes trades / books, maintains its own order book, submits test orders.
SimpleOrderExecutor	Accepts orders from the strategy, sends mock acknowledgements & fills via OrderExecutionBus.
SimplePnLTracker	Tracks realised / unrealised PnL using execution events.
SimpleKillSwitch	Triggers when max loss / qty / rate limits are breached.
SimpleRiskManager	Pre-trade checks; blocks orders that violate configured rules.
DemoBuilder	Assembles subsystems: MarketDataBus, TradeBus, CandleBus, OrderExecutionBus, etc.

What It Demonstrates

• Full engine startup / shutdown sequence.
• Event flow from connectors → buses → strategy → executor → trackers.
• Interaction between risk, kill-switch, and execution pipeline.
• Candle aggregation and simple logging.

How to Run

1. Build the project with CMake (release or debug): ```bash mkdir build && cd build cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release make -j$(nproc) ````

2. Execute the demo binary:

bash ./demo/flox_demo

The program:

• launches two DemoConnector instances,
• streams market data for \~30 seconds,
• runs DemoStrategy,
• then performs a graceful shutdown.
