Streams Trade Implementation

The Streams Trade implementation combines Chainlink Data Streams with Chainlink Automation to enable automated trade execution. This implementation allows decentralized applications to automate trade execution, mitigate frontrunning, and limit bias or adverse incentives in executing non-user-triggered orders.
