Overview

This guide covers disaster recovery planning implementation in automated trading systems. The approach combines established patterns with operational considerations drawn from production deployments.

Core Concepts

Understanding disaster recovery planning requires familiarity with market microstructure, order flow dynamics, and execution latency. The following sections detail each component.

Implementation

Implementation of disaster recovery planning follows a modular architecture. Configuration files define parameters, strategy modules handle logic, and exchange adapters manage execution.

Configuration Example

Configuration for disaster recovery planning uses YAML or JSON format. Key parameters include timeframes, signal thresholds, position sizing rules, and risk limits.

# Example configuration for Disaster Recovery Planning
strategy:
  name: disaster-recovery-planning
  timeframe: 5m
  indicators:
    - rsi
    - ema_fast
    - ema_slow
  entry_conditions:
    - rsi_oversold
    - ema_crossover_bullish
  exit_conditions:
    - rsi_overbought
    - stop_loss_hit
  risk:
    max_position_size: 0.02
    stop_loss_pct: 0.015

Risk Considerations

Risk management for disaster recovery planning addresses position limits, stop loss placement, correlation exposure, and worst-case drawdown scenarios. Regular monitoring prevents drift from intended behavior.

Important: Always validate disaster recovery planning logic on out-of-sample data before live deployment. Paper trading reveals execution issues that backtests miss.
