## How to Use

### Quick Start Commands

#### Windows
```powershell
# One-time run
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts\startup.ps1

# Setup auto-start on boot
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts\startup.ps1 -CreateScheduledTask

# Test without executing
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts\startup.ps1 -DryRun
```

#### Linux/WSL
```bash
# One-time run
./scripts/startup.sh

# Setup auto-start on boot
./scripts/startup.sh --setup-systemd

# Alternative: Setup cron job
./scripts/startup.sh --setup-cron
```

#### Cross-Platform (Python)
```bash
# Run with default configuration
python3 scripts/startup_orchestrator.py

# Test without executing
python3 scripts/startup_orchestrator.py --dry-run

# Monitor processes
python3 scripts/startup_orchestrator.py --monitor 3600
```

### Running Tests

To verify the system after any changes:

```bash
python3 scripts/test_automation.py
```

### Validation

To validate repository structure:

```bash
python3 scripts/ci_validate_repo.py
```

## System Requirements

### Verified Requirements
- ✅ Python 3.8+ (Tested with Python 3.12.3)
- ✅ Bash (for Linux/WSL scripts)
- ✅ PowerShell 5.0+ (for Windows scripts)
- ✅ Git (for version control)

### Optional Requirements
- MT5 Terminal (for actual trading)
- rclone (for OneDrive sync)
- Docker (if using containerized setup)

## Security Notes

- ✅ No credentials stored in scripts
- ✅ All paths configurable via JSON
- ✅ Logs stored locally only
- ✅ Scripts run with user privileges
- ✅ Execution policies properly handled

## Known Limitations

1. **MT5 Terminal**: Windows-only application, requires Wine on Linux
2. **Platform-Specific**: Some components are platform-specific and will be skipped on incompatible systems
3. **Custom Scripts**: The configuration file references `scripts/your_custom_script.py` as an example placeholder. Users should either:
   - Create their own custom script at this path
   - Remove this component from the configuration
   - Replace it with their actual script path

## Next Steps

### For Windows Users
1. Install MT5 Terminal if not already installed
2. Run: `powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts\startup.ps1 -CreateScheduledTask`
3. Restart to verify auto-startup
4. Check logs in `logs/` directory

### For Linux/WSL Users
1. Install Wine if planning to run MT5 on native Linux
2. Run: `./scripts/startup.sh --setup-systemd`
3. Start service: `sudo systemctl start mql5-trading-automation`
4. Check status: `sudo systemctl status mql5-trading-automation`

### For All Users
1. Customize `config/startup_config.json` to your needs
2. Create custom scripts in `scripts/` directory
3. Test with dry-run mode first
4. Monitor logs in `logs/` directory
5. Review documentation in `docs/` for detailed instructions

## Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:

1. **Check logs**: Look in `logs/` directory for detailed error messages
2. **Run tests**: Execute `python3 scripts/test_automation.py`
3. **Dry run**: Use dry-run mode to see what would be executed
4. **Documentation**: Refer to `docs/Startup_Automation_Guide.md` for detailed troubleshooting

## Conclusion

✅ **The automation system is fully functional and ready for use.**

All scripts have been verified, tests pass, and documentation is complete. The system is ready for deployment on Windows, Linux, or WSL environments.
