Challenges
Trading bots operate in adversarial conditions: exchange APIs go down, orders get partially filled, prices move between signal detection and execution. Building reliable error handling that keeps the bot from losing money during edge cases (network timeouts, API rate limits, exchange maintenance) was as important as getting the strategy right. The decimal.js library was essential for avoiding floating point precision errors in financial calculations.
