    side: 'buy' | 'sell';
    size: number;
    price?: number;
    leverage: number;
    timestamp: number;
}

class OrderBook {
    private bids: Order[] = [];
    private asks: Order[] = [];
    
    public matchOrder(order: Order): Trade[] {
        const trades: Trade[] = [];
        const oppositeBook = order.side === 'buy' ? this.asks : this.bids;
        
        while (order.size > 0 && oppositeBook.length > 0) {
            const match = oppositeBook[0];
            if (this.canMatch(order, match)) {
                const trade = this.executeTrade(order, match);
                trades.push(trade);
            }
        }
        return trades;
    }
}
