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.
