 ## Setup
 
-This backtesting engine can pull tick data from local files or from a Postgres database (I'm using QuestDB). Strategy execution is dispatched via a Redis list called `strategy_queue`, with each entry a Base64-encoded JSON payload — the `load` subcommand enqueues strategies (LPUSH) and the `run` subcommand dequeues and executes them (RPOP). The default workflow expects a local `redis-server` listening on `127.0.0.1:6379`.

 ### Run via terminal
 
-`bash ./scripts/run.sh` builds the project, then — if `redis-cli ping` reaches a local Redis — enqueues an inline JSON strategy via `load` and executes it via `run localhost`. If Redis is unreachable the script prints a message and exits cleanly (see `scripts/run.sh:22-25`), so first-time users without Redis still get a clear signal.
