PyAlgoEngine
High-Performance Algorithmic Trading Engine in Python, Cython, and C
PyAlgoEngine is a low-latency trading engine for HFT (High-Frequency Trading) systems. It provides C-level market data structures, shared-memory buffers, an event-driven engine architecture, backtesting with simulated order matching, exchange calendar profiles, and web-based visualization — all with Cython acceleration for latency-critical paths.
Features
| Category | Capabilities |
|---|---|
| Market Data | TickData, TickDataLite, BarData, DailyBar, OrderBook, TransactionData, OrderData, TradeData — all C-backed via Cython |
| Buffers | MarketDataBuffer, MarketDataRingBuffer, MarketDataConcurrentBuffer, MarketDataBufferCache |
| Engines | EVENT_ENGINE (pub/sub), MDS (Market Data Service), ALGO_ENGINE (algo lifecycle), trade engine (DMA, positions, risk) |
| Exchange Profiles | CN (A-share) and default global calendars, session phases, holidays via PROFILE, PROFILE_CN, PROFILE_DEFAULT |
| Backtesting | SimpleReplay, ProgressReplay, SimMatch (simulated matching), TradeMetrics |
| Strategy Framework | StrategyEngine, AlgoTemplate, global singletons (BALANCE, DMA, STRATEGY_ENGINE) |
| Web Apps | Flask + Bokeh dashboards, candlestick charts, strategy tester UI |
| Compile-Time Config | BOOK_SIZE, ID_SIZE, LONG_ID_SIZE, MD_BUF_PTR_DEFAULT_CAP, MD_BUF_DATA_DEFAULT_CAP via env vars |
Quick Install
git clone https://github.com/BolunHan/PyAlgoEngine.git
cd PyAlgoEngine
./build.sh -i
