# NT8 Institutional SDK

Professional-grade algorithmic trading SDK for NinjaTrader 8, built for institutional use with comprehensive risk management and deterministic execution.

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Prerequisites
- .NET 6.0 SDK
- Visual Studio Code + Docker Desktop (recommended)
- Git

### Setup (5 minutes)
```bash
# Clone repository
git clone <repository-url>
cd nt8-institutional-sdk

# Verify setup
dotnet build && dotnet test
```

## 📋 Project Structure

tools/                  # Development and deployment tools
docs/                   # Technical documentation
```

## 🏗️ Architecture Principles

- **Risk First**: All trades pass through risk management before execution
- **Deterministic**: Identical inputs produce identical outputs for testing
- **Modular**: Strategies are thin plugins, SDK handles infrastructure
- **Observable**: Structured logging with correlation IDs throughout

## 📊 Current Status: Phase 0 Development

### ✅ Completed
- Development environment and tooling
- Core interfaces and models
- Basic project structure

### 🚧 In Progress
- Risk management implementation
- Position sizing algorithms
- Basic strategy framework
- Comprehensive unit testing

### 📅 Next (Phase 1)
- Order management system
- NinjaTrader integration
- Market data handling
- Advanced testing and validation

### **Step 3: Create Solution and Projects**

Run these commands to create the .NET solution and projects:

```bash
# Create solution file
dotnet new sln -n NT8-SDK

# Create core projects
dotnet new classlib -n NT8.Core -o src/NT8.Core --framework net6.0
dotnet new classlib -n NT8.Adapters -o src/NT8.Adapters --framework net6.0
dotnet new classlib -n NT8.Strategies -o src/NT8.Strategies --framework net6.0
dotnet new classlib -n NT8.Contracts -o src/NT8.Contracts --framework net6.0

# Create test projects
dotnet new xunit -n NT8.Core.Tests -o tests/NT8.Core.Tests --framework net6.0
dotnet new xunit -n NT8.Integration.Tests -o tests/NT8.Integration.Tests --framework net6.0

# Add projects to solution
dotnet sln add src/NT8.Core/NT8.Core.csproj
dotnet sln add src/NT8.Adapters/NT8.Adapters.csproj
dotnet sln add src/NT8.Strategies/NT8.Strategies.csproj
dotnet sln add src/NT8.Contracts/NT8.Contracts.csproj
dotnet sln add tests/NT8.Core.Tests/NT8.Core.Tests.csproj
dotnet sln add tests/NT8.Integration.Tests/NT8.Integration.Tests.csproj
```

### **Step 4: Add Required NuGet Packages**

```bash
# Add packages to NT8.Core
dotnet add src/NT8.Core/NT8.Core.csproj package Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration
dotnet add src/NT8.Core/NT8.Core.csproj package Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json
dotnet add src/NT8.Core/NT8.Core.csproj package Microsoft.Extensions.Logging
dotnet add src/NT8.Core/NT8.Core.csproj package Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection
dotnet add src/NT8.Core/NT8.Core.csproj package Newtonsoft.Json
dotnet add src/NT8.Core/NT8.Core.csproj package FluentValidation

# Add test packages
dotnet add tests/NT8.Core.Tests/NT8.Core.Tests.csproj package FluentAssertions
dotnet add tests/NT8.Core.Tests/NT8.Core.Tests.csproj package Bogus
dotnet add tests/NT8.Core.Tests/NT8.Core.Tests.csproj package Moq

dotnet add tests/NT8.Integration.Tests/NT8.Integration.Tests.csproj package FluentAssertions
dotnet add tests/NT8.Integration.Tests/NT8.Integration.Tests.csproj package Bogus
dotnet add tests/NT8.Integration.Tests/NT8.Integration.Tests.csproj package Moq
```

### **Step 5: Validation**

Run this command to verify everything is set up correctly:

```bash
dotnet build --configuration Release
```

**Expected Result:** Build succeeds with 0 warnings and 0 errors

If you see any errors, check:
1. All directories were created correctly
2. All files were copied to the right locations
3. .NET 6.0 SDK is installed
4. All NuGet packages were added successfully

## **SUCCESS CRITERIA**

✅ Repository structure matches specification exactly  
✅ All starter files are in correct locations  
✅ Solution builds successfully with 0 warnings  
✅ All NuGet packages are properly referenced  
✅ CI/CD pipeline configuration is in place  

**Once this is complete, you're ready for Step 2: Core Interfaces**
