Could you build this?

Partial A terminal UI dashboard wrapping the open-source hftbacktest crate is vibe-codeable, but processing tick-level L2/L3 market data with nanosecond latency simulation requires deep quantitative finance knowledge.

What it would actually take: The core is built with Rust using Ratatui/Crossterm for the TUI, integrating with the hftbacktest library. The hard engineering parts involve ingesting massive tick-by-tick Binance depth feeds, accurately simulating order queue position mechanics, and modeling network jitter and exchange matching engine delays without memory bottlenecks.
