Setup Instructions

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd TradeTech
   

2. Create a virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use `venv\Scripts\activate`
   

3. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

Running the Application

To start the TradeTech application, run the following command:

python src/main.py

This will initialize the trading system, set up Kafka connections, and launch the user interface.

Resolving Common Bugs

Here are some common issues you might encounter while developing or deploying the TradeTech system, along with their solutions:

1. Kafka Connection Issues:

   • Ensure that the Kafka server is running and accessible.
   • Check the configuration settings in kafka_client.py for the correct broker address.

2. Order Placement Errors:

   • Verify that the order format is correct when using the place_order method in order_manager.py.
   • Check for any validation errors in the order data.

3. UI Not Displaying:

   • Ensure that Flask is installed and running properly.
   • Check the console for any error messages related to the UI.

4. Matching Algorithm Not Working:

   • Review the logic in matcher.py to ensure that the matching criteria are correctly implemented.
   • Test with sample buy and sell orders to verify functionality.

5. Reconciliation Report Generation Fails:

   • Ensure that the order list passed to reconcile_orders is not empty.
   • Check for any exceptions thrown during the report generation process.
