23/// Trait for custom simulation modules that extend backtesting functionality.
24///
25/// The `SimulationModule` trait allows for custom extensions to the backtesting
26/// simulation environment. Implementations can add specialized behavior such as
27/// market makers, price impact models, or other venue-specific simulation logic
28/// that runs alongside the core backtesting engine.
29pub trait SimulationModule {
30    /// Registers a simulated exchange venue with this module.
31    fn register_venue(&self, exchange: SimulatedExchange);

33    /// Pre-processes market data before main simulation processing.
34    fn pre_process(&self, data: Data);
35
36    /// Processes simulation logic at the given timestamp.
37    fn process(&self, ts_now: UnixNanos);

39    /// Logs diagnostic information about the module's state.
