📊 Mock Broker Features

The mock broker simulates realistic trading behavior:

• ✅ Random order delays (50-200ms)
• ✅ Slippage simulation (0.05-0.15%)
• ✅ Partial fill scenarios
• ✅ Order rejection cases (5% rate)
• ✅ Market price movements
• ✅ Bid-ask spreads

Perfect for development and testing without API access!
