Overview

The Market Simulation Project is a Java-based application designed to simulate market behavior and trading scenarios. The project provides a robust platform for developing and testing various trading strategies in a simulated environment.

Features

• Market Simulation: Simulates real-time market conditions based on configurable parameters.
• Trading Strategies: Allows implementation and testing of custom trading strategies.
• Backtesting: Offers backtesting functionality with historical data to validate strategies.
• Reporting: Generates detailed reports and analytics based on simulation results.

Prerequisites

• Java 11 or higher: Ensure you have Java 11+ installed.
• Maven: The project uses Maven for dependency management and building.

Setup

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/market-simulation.git
   cd market-simulation

2. Build the Project:

   mvn clean install

3. Run the Application:

   mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.yourpackage.Main"

Configuration

The application can be configured using the application.properties file located in the src/main/resources directory. Here, you can set parameters like market volatility, initial capital, and strategy configurations.

Example application.properties:

market.volatility=0.05
trading.initialCapital=10000
trading.transactionFee=0.001
