Moving Average Crossover Strategies

Implementation

Implementation of moving average crossover strategies follows a modular architecture. Configuration files define parameters, strategy modules handle logic, and exchange adapters manage execution.

Production Notes

In production, moving average crossover strategies requires monitoring for API rate limits, database connection pooling, log rotation, alert thresholds, and automated restart procedures. Document runbooks for incident response.

Code Structure

The code structure separates concerns: data ingestion, signal generation, risk checks, and order submission. This modularity enables testing and reuse across strategies.
