// Submit order with integrated risk management
if let Some(trading_client) = &client_suite.trading_client {
    let order_request = SubmitOrderRequest {
        symbol: "AAPL".to_string(),
        side: OrderSide::Buy as i32,
        order_type: OrderType::Market as i32,

        client_order_id: "order_123".to_string(),
        ..Default::default()
    };
    
    let response = trading_client.submit_order(order_request).await?;
    println!("Order submitted: {:?}", response);
}

Real-time Market Data

// Subscribe to market data
let symbols = vec!["AAPL".to_string(), "GOOGL".to_string()];
let data_types = vec![MarketDataType::Ticks, MarketDataType::Quotes];
let request = SubscribeMarketDataRequest { symbols, data_types };

let stream_id = trading_client.subscribe_market_data(request).await?;
println!("Market data stream created: {}", stream_id);

Backtesting

// Start backtest
if let Some(backtesting_client) = &client_suite.backtesting_client {
    let request = StartBacktestRequest {
