Critical Safety Notes ⚠️

1. Testnet Mandatory - Never run against live exchanges until fully validated
2. Position Limits - Start with MAX_POSITION_SIZE=0.01 (1% of portfolio)
3. Circuit Breakers - System has basic risk controls but NO GUARANTEES
4. 24/7 Monitoring - Do not leave unattended. Be prepared to manually intervene

System Requirements 💻

• Python 3.10+
• Binance Futures Testnet Account
• NewsAPI.org API Key (free tier available)

        # Your AI logic here
        return TradeSignal(
            confidence=0.75,
            action="BUY", 
            target_price=...,
            expiration=...
