Making options for bot

First of all, I’ll make bot to accept options for the run.

cargo add dialoguer

I’ll use dialoguer to get option selects from console.

    log::info!("Select option to run");

    let options = [
        "0. Real trading",
        "1. Backtesting",
        "2. Collect data",
        "3. Exit",
    ];

The bot gets 4 options,

1. Real trading — Option for real trading with brokers.
2. Backtesting — Option for backtesting strategy.
3. Collect Data — Option for collecting data for backtest.
4. Exit — Option for exiting the bot.

Select::with_theme(&ColorfulTheme::default())
            .with_prompt("Run option")
            .items(&options[..])
            .default(0)
            .interact()
            .unwrap();

Then, Bot will receive input with dialoguer::Select.
