Development and testing

Code style and conventions

• Python 3.11+ with typing hints where helpful.
• Use logging_utils.setup_logging for consistent logs across scripts.

Running tests

• This repository doesn't currently include a formal test suite. Suggested quick checks:
  • Run python list_coins.py to verify connectivity to Hyperliquid Info.
  • Run python -m pyflakes . or python -m pylint if you have linters installed.

Adding a new strategy

1. Create a new script following the pattern in strategy_template.py.
2. Add an entry to _data/strategies.json with enabled: true and relevant parameters.
3. Ensure the strategy writes a status JSON file (_data/strategy_status_<name>.json) and uses trade_log.log_trade to record actions.

Recommended improvements (low-risk)

• Add a lightweight unit test suite (pytest) for core functions like timeframe parsing, SQL helpers, and signal calculation.
• Add CI (GitHub Actions) to run flake/pylint and unit tests on PRs.
• Move secrets handling to a .env.example and document environment variables in WIKI/SETUP.md.
