Python Momentum Trading Bot

I have a well-defined momentum-based model that I trade manually on the Indian stock market. I now want the entire logic coded in Python and wired directly into the IIFL Finance API so the strategy can run hands-free, react in milliseconds, and enforce tight risk limits on every order.

Here is the scope I need you to cover:

• Translate my math-driven momentum rules into clean, production-ready Python.
• Build a low-latency execution engine that listens to IIFL Finance market data, places and modifies orders instantly, and gracefully handles disconnects.
• Incorporate robust risk management (position sizing, stop-loss, max drawdown caps, and automatic circuit-breakers).
• Provide a back-testing module that uses historical IIFL data so we can validate performance before we go live.
• Supply lightweight logging, alerting, and a simple dashboard or CLI that lets me monitor positions in real time.
• Package the solution so it can be deployed on a VPS with minimal setup – one command should spin up the entire stack.
• Document every endpoint, config file, and environment variable clearly enough for another developer to maintain.

I will judge the job complete once the strategy trades live in my IIFL account, matches the back-test logic tick for tick, and respects all predefined risk thresholds.
