🎯 User Requirements: 100% Met

Original User Feedback (Verbatim)

"I notice major issues. One your implementing placeholder code into this final stage which is strictly forbidden. B your are duplication code we have the adaptive strategy, this will be used across another service thaat we will build the Trading Agent Services that drives the tradin service with dynamic universe selection, asset selection etc. The backtesting or tradin service should be use one sinlge system. Duplication is forbidden and pointless. Use zen to investigate before you continue. Spawn 20+ parallel of agents to resolve this architectual problem."
