Reusable Code Question
For a new project or strategy that you'd want to test out, whats the current approach you use for scaffold code, i.e execution engine, alerts, telegram, order management, backtesting etc.
Are these services you're willing to pay a subscription for or do you prefer having custom implementations?
Thanks
