/*
The backtest process
The backtest engine loads the klines from the database into a kline-channel,
there are multiple matching engine that matches the order sent from the strategy.
for each kline, the backtest engine:
1) load the kline, run matching logics to send out order update and trades to the user data stream.
2) once the matching process for the kline is done, the kline will be pushed to the market data stream.
3) go to 1 and load the next kline.
There are 2 ways that a strategy could work with backtest engine:
1. the strategy receives kline from the market data stream, and then it submits the order by the given market data to the backtest engine.
backtest engine receives the order and then pushes the trade and order updates to the user data stream.
the strategy receives the trade and update its position.
2. the strategy places the orders when it starts. (like grid) the strategy then receives the order updates and then submit a new order
by its order update message.
We need to ensure that:
1. if the strategy submits the order from the market data stream, since it's a separate goroutine, the strategy should block the backtest engine
to process the trades before the next kline is published.
