Overview
X-15 Framework serves as a foundation for programmers to build custom trading systems by providing pre-built modules for order management, signal processing, and trade filters. The included template features standard risk management controls such as fixed lot sizing, stop loss, take profit, break-even levels, and trailing stops. It supports both market and pending orders. The repository lacks a formal README, relying on the organized source code structure to demonstrate functionality.
- Modular trade signal architecture
- Integrated break-even and trailing stop logic
- Support for market and pending orders
