Could you build this?
No Creating a reliable, enterprise-grade live and backtest trading engine requires specialized systems engineering for market microstructure, atomic order execution, and deterministic zero-lookahead simulation.
What it would actually take: A production engine requires an event-driven deterministic state machine capable of tick-by-tick simulation, slippage modeling, and order queue prioritization. It needs an ACID-compliant persistence layer (e.g., SQLite WAL or embedded key-value stores) with atomic broker commit/rollback protocols and strict portfolio-wide margin risk gates. Developing this requires specialized expertise in financial market microstructure, high-reliability transactional systems, and exchange API edge cases.
