3. Authenticate and Validate Requests
The programme has to decide if the requests it receives are genuine. For different providers, authentication of the requests could be achieved by means of a shared secret, a signature, an authorization header, or some other specified method. Validation must involve checking the request's structure, the presence of the required fields, the expected event type, the timestamp, and any event identifier that is available. When a request fails validation, the application should safely reject it and re…
When your program has received a valid event, you should determine what it signifies. It may be a strategy signal, an alert, an order update, or a position-related event. The application must not treat all events in the same manner. For instance, an order-status event might call for a database update rather than the creation of a new order. A strategy alert would need further market information before making any decision. When the provider supports it, set up separate processing paths for differ…
