Dynamic Currency Arbitrage Engine

Ovewview

The Dynamic Currency Arbitrage Engine is a high-performance C++ system designed to identify and exploit arbitrage opportunities in the global currency markets. By integrating real-time market data and employing advanced graph algorithms, the engine optimizes currency conversion pathways to maximize potential gains.

Features:

API Integration & Data Parsing:

• Utilizes libcurl for seamless API interactions to fetch real-time exchange rates.
• Employs nlohmann/json for efficient and reliable JSON data parsing.

Advanced Graph Structures:

• Implements Dijkstra's Algorithm to determine the most optimal currency conversion routes.
• Achieves a 1% increase in real-world arbitrage gains through strategic route optimization.
• Implements Bellman Ford Algorithm to determine Arbitrage Opportunities
• Implements check to without Dijkstra's ALgorithm form giving inaccurate results in the precense of negative cycles

Efficient Data Handling:

• Leverages HashMap structures to integrate and manage real-time market data.
• Enhances lookup speeds by 60%, significantly reducing latency in currency conversion requests.

Custom Min Priority Queue:

• Develops a heap-based Min Priority Queue tailored for shortest path calculations.
• Ensures high-efficiency and scalability, resulting in a 50% performance increase over traditional array-based implementations.

Modular Architecture:

• Features distinct components for API fetching, data parsing, graph generation, and algorithm execution. Demonstrates strong proficiency in C++, object-oriented design, and software architecture principles.

Technologies Used

• C++
• libcurl: For handling HTTP requests and API interactions.
• nlohmann/json: For parsing and managing JSON data.
• Advanced Data Structures: Including HashMaps and heap-based priority queues.
• Graph Algorithms: Dijkstra's Algorithm & Bellman-Ford ALgorithm

Build the Project:

• g++ main.cpp src/ApiFetcher.cpp src/currencyPairs.cpp src/GraphGenerator.cpp src/minPriorityQueue.cpp -I./include -o Arbitrage_Engine -lcurl

Usage:

Configure API Access:

• Obtain an API key from your preferred currency exchange rate provider.
• Update the Main.cpp file with your API key.

Run the Engine:

• ./ArbitrageEngine

Interpret the Results:

• The engine will output detected arbitrage opportunities along with the optimal conversion pathways and potential gains.

Acknowledgements:

• libcurl and nlohmann/json for their robust and efficient libraries.
• Inspired by the complexities and opportunities within global financial markets.
