LiuAlgoTrader

Introduction

LiuAlgoTrader is a Pythonic all-batteries-included framework for effective algorithmic trading. The framework is intended to simplify development, testing, deployment and evaluating algo trading strategies.

LiuAlgoTrader can run on a Macbook laptop and hedge-on-the-go, or run on a multi-core hosted Linux server and it will optimize for best performance for either.

LiuAlgoTrader is Work-In-Progress, however it is a fully functional and powerful framework that may be used almost out-of-the-box. Assistance in development is highly appreciated, as well as comments and suggestions. Please check the Contribution section for further details.

Alternative Installation

liualgotrader requires several packages to be properly installed, as well as a PostgrSQL database properly configured. For first time users, it might be easier to install the docker version https://github.com/amor71/trade_deploy .
