When developing futures trading software, I think the first step should be understanding how the platform is expected to work behind the screen. The interface can be changed later. The order flow and internal rules are much harder to fix once the system is already built around them.
A Futures Trading Clone Script can be useful here as a starting point. Instead of keeping the existing structure unchanged, the development team can study how orders, positions, contracts, and settlement are handled and then adjust those parts to match the business requirements.
For example, whether a trade can be submitted is just one step in the process. Your system needs to determine if it's permissible to do so, what state it should go to, how the execution is recorded and the position linked to it what state that position will be in. If these processes are separated out, a small mismatch can sometimes exist when multiple orders are processed.
I would also give attention to how the application handles unexpected responses. Exchange communication can fail or return a result that does not match the application's current state. Having a proper reconciliation process makes it easier to identify and correct these situations.
So, when using a Futures Trading Clone Script, I would focus less on making it look like the reference platform and more on rebuilding the parts that define how the business actually operates. That gives developers a much better base for further changes.
