🏗️ Architecture

Core Classes

1. Exchange Class
   • Manages individual exchange information (name, prices)
   • Supports price updates and retrieval
2. ArbitrageBot Class
   • Detects arbitrage opportunities
   • Manages portfolio (cash, coin balances)
   • Handles trade execution, logging, and statistics

---

🛠️ Requirements

• C++ Compiler: GCC 4.8+ or Visual Studio 2015+
• C++ Standard: C++17 or later
• Operating System: Windows, Linux, or macOS

🚀 Getting Started

Compilation

Windows (using g++)

g++ -std=c++17 main.cpp Exchange.cpp ArbitrageBot.cpp -o arbitrage_bot.exe

Linux/macOS

g++ -std=c++17 main.cpp Exchange.cpp ArbitrageBot.cpp -o arbitrage_bot
./arbitrage_bot

Visual Studio

• Create a new C++ console project
• Add all source/header files
• Build and run (Ctrl+F5)

Running the Application

• Execute the compiled program
• Navigate using the menu options:
  • Run arbitrage round
  • Show trade log
  • Set min profit threshold
  • Set fee percent
  • Reset bot
  • Export trade log to CSV
  • Show statistics
  • Exit
