Real-time market analysis in Windsurf

Cascade pulls current asset pricing and volume data using `get_asset`. You get the exact market cap and supply figures without leaving your IDE. This lets you feed live data into your logic while Windsurf builds your trading bot. It puts hard numbers behind your code immediately.

Historical price tracking for Windsurf

Use `get_candles` to pull OHLCV data for your technical indicators. You define the start and end timestamps to isolate specific market events. Cascade parses these candles to map out trends over any interval you pick. It saves you from manual data entry when backtesting your models.

Exchange and rate data for Windsurf

Query `get_exchange` to check the status and volume of specific trading platforms. You can verify if an exchange is active before your script hits their order book. `get_rate` gives you the current conversion math between assets and fiat. It keeps your currency calculations accurate as the market shifts.
