A simpler library for the alapaca trade api
Project description
cira
A simpler libray for alpaca-trade-api from Alpaca Markets. Cira is available pip
I was intrested in using the alpaca trade api for building quantitative paper trading.
The project paper-trader.
However after working on this for alomst a year (of and ond agian) I relized that I had alomst build a small libray for using the alpca api.
So I thought that shuld make this in to a real lib so that you also can get started with quantitative paper trading.
The name Cira is the word for a baby alpca and becose this is a simpel and small lib I thoght it would be a prefect fit.
