Order failures due to exchange throttling or duplicate signals can derail an entire automated strategy in seconds. ⚠️

A truly robust trading system must account for these real-world failure points:
• Rate limits
• Ambiguous timeouts
• Duplicate signals

When building reliability, remember this sequence:
1. For timeouts, never blindly retry. The safe pattern requires recording the initial attempt and checking the exchange state to see if the order already appeared before retrying.
2. External sources can send webhooks twice, creating the risk of unintended double-firing of trades due to duplicate orders.

WolfBot handles this complexity for you internally. 🛡️

We automatically handle:
✅ Deduplication on incoming signals.
✅ Preventing re-submitting an order already successfully placed.
✅ Managing request queuing and spacing for rate limits, so you don't fail silently when throttled.

To validate your own setup's resilience, controlled testing is non-negotiable:
⚙️ Send the same webhook twice and confirm exactly one order is created.
⚙️ Simulate a timeout to confirm no second order is generated upon recovery.

Understanding these failure modes is what separates a script from a professional-grade system. 🚀
