# Trading Examples
Complete, copy-paste ready examples for building trading systems on LX.
## Quick Start
All examples connect to LX and demonstrate real trading patterns. Before running:
```bash
# Start local LX node
cd /path/to/lx/dex
make build
./bin/lxd --config config/local.yaml
# Or connect to testnet
export LX_ENDPOINT="https://testnet.lx.exchange"
```

## Environment Setup
### Go
```bash
# Initialize module
mkdir my-trader && cd my-trader
go mod init my-trader
# Add LX SDK
go get github.com/lx-exchange/lx-sdk-go@latest
```
### Python
```bash
# Create virtual environment
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
# Install SDK
pip install lx-sdk websockets pandas numpy
```
### TypeScript
```bash
# Initialize project
mkdir my-trader && cd my-trader
npm init -y
# Install SDK
npm install @lx-exchange/sdk axios ws
npm install -D typescript @types/node @types/ws
```
### Rust
```bash
# Create project
cargo new my-trader
cd my-trader
# Add to Cargo.toml
# [dependencies]
# lx-sdk = "0.1"
# tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
# serde = { version = "1", features = ["derive"] }
```
### C++
```bash
# Requirements
# - CMake 3.16+
# - C++20 compiler
# - vcpkg or conan for dependencies
# Install dependencies
vcpkg install nlohmann-json websocketpp openssl
```
## Configuration
All examples use environment variables for configuration:
```bash
# Required
export LX_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export LX_API_SECRET="your-api-secret"
# Optional
export LX_ENDPOINT="http://localhost:8080" # JSON-RPC endpoint
export LX_WS_ENDPOINT="ws://localhost:8081" # WebSocket endpoint
export LX_GRPC_ENDPOINT="localhost:50051" # gRPC endpoint
# Trading parameters
export TRADING_SYMBOL="BTC-USD"
export MAX_POSITION_SIZE="1.0"
export MAX_ORDER_SIZE="0.1"
```
## Safety Guidelines
1. **Always use testnet first** - Never test with real funds
2. **Set position limits** - Define maximum exposure before trading
3. **Implement kill switches** - Emergency stop functionality is required
4. **Monitor continuously** - Never run unattended without alerting
5. **Log everything** - Detailed logs for audit and debugging
