   For the specified exchange (or prompt user if not provided), add:

   env

   # Exchange: Binance
   BINANCE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
   BINANCE_API_SECRET=your_api_secret_here

   # Exchange: Bybit
   BYBIT_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

   If it doesn't exist, create .env.example with placeholder values:

   env

   # Copy this file to .env and fill in your API credentials
   # NEVER commit .env to git - it's already in .gitignore
   
   BINANCE_API_KEY=
   BINANCE_API_SECRET=
   BINANCE_TESTNET=true
