jgrusewski 89f6c0e914 refactor: delete unused compliance scaffolding (-34K lines)
Remove entire trading_engine/src/compliance/ directory (9 files, 16,068 LOC)
and 18 associated test files (18,069 LOC). Comprehensive audit confirmed
zero external callers for all types (ISO 27001, SOX, MiFID II, best
execution, automated reporting). Remove unused cron dependency.

Independent compliance modules in risk/ and risk-data/ are preserved.

Trading Engine Crate

Overview

The trading_engine crate provides the high-performance core infrastructure essential for High-Frequency Trading (HFT) operations. It focuses on ultra-low latency execution, precise timing, and efficient order management to handle demanding market conditions.

Features

  • Extreme Performance Optimization: Utilizes RDTSC for precise timing, CPU affinity for dedicated core execution, and SIMD instructions for vectorized data processing.
  • Robust Order Management: Manages the lifecycle of orders, from placement to execution and cancellation, ensuring accuracy and low-latency updates.
  • Flexible Execution Engine: Implements a highly optimized engine capable of processing trading strategies and executing orders across various venues.
  • Multi-Broker Connectivity: Seamlessly integrates with multiple brokers, including Interactive Brokers and ICMarkets, via specialized adapters.
  • Event-Sourced Architecture: Employs event sourcing for deterministic state reconstruction, coupled with comprehensive metrics and persistent storage.
  • Concurrent Lock-Free Data Structures: Leverages advanced lock-free data structures to minimize contention and maximize throughput in multi-threaded environments.

Architecture

The trading_engine is structured around several key components:

  • Execution Core: The central logic for strategy evaluation and trade decision-making.
  • Order Manager: Handles all order-related operations, maintaining order state and communicating with broker adapters.
  • Broker Adapters: Abstract interfaces and concrete implementations for connecting to specific trading venues (e.g., IbAdapter, IcMarketsAdapter).
  • Performance Utilities: Modules for RDTSC access, CPU core pinning, and SIMD instruction sets.
  • Event Store: A mechanism for recording all significant events, enabling replay and auditability.
  • Metrics System: Collects and reports performance and operational statistics.
  • Persistence Layer: Stores critical state and event data for recovery and analysis.
  • Concurrency Primitives: Custom lock-free queues, rings, and other data structures.

Usage

To initialize the trading engine and place a simple order:

use trading_engine::{
    engine::TradingEngine,
    order::{Order, OrderSide, OrderType},
    broker::BrokerType,
};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let mut engine = TradingEngine::new();
    engine.connect_broker(BrokerType::InteractiveBrokers).await?;

    let order = Order {
        symbol: "ESZ23".to_string(),
        side: OrderSide::Buy,
        order_type: OrderType::Limit,
        quantity: 1,
        price: Some(4500.0),
        // ... other order details
    };

    let order_id = engine.place_order(order).await?;
    println!("Placed order with ID: {}", order_id);

    Ok(())
}

Testing

To run the tests for the trading_engine crate:

cargo test --package trading_engine
