*******

|
|
|
``piker`` is currently under heavy pre-alpha development and as such should
|
2018-01-27 06:52:24 +00:00
|
|
|
be cloned from this repo and hacked on directly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2018-02-15 18:33:53 +00:00
|
|
|
A couple bleeding edge components are being used atm pertaining to
|
|
|
|
|
async ports of libraries for use with `trio`_.

|
|
|
Before installing make sure you have `pipenv`_.
|
2018-02-15 18:33:53 +00:00
|
|
|
For a development install::
|
2018-02-12 15:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2018-02-12 17:46:56 +00:00
|
|
|
git clone git@github.com:pikers/piker.git
|
|
|
|
|
cd piker
|
2018-03-28 19:22:39 +00:00
|
|
|
pipenv install --dev -e .
|

Broker Support
|
|
|
|
|
**************
|
|
|
|
|
For live data feeds the only fully functional broker at the moment is Questrade_.
|
|
|
|
|
Eventual support is in the works for `IB`, `TD Ameritrade` and `IEX`.
|
|
|
|
|
If you want your broker supported and they have an API let us know.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _Questrade: https://www.questrade.com/api/documentation

Play with some UIs
|
|
|
|
|
******************
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To start the real-time index monitor with the `questrade` backend::
|
2018-02-12 15:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2019-02-26 06:14:58 +00:00
|
|
|
piker -l info monitor indexes
|
2018-03-21 21:32:32 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to see super granular price changes, increase the
|
|
|
|
|
broker quote query ``rate`` with ``-r``::
|
|
|
|
|
|
2019-02-26 06:14:58 +00:00
|
|
|
piker monitor indexes -r 10
|
2018-02-12 15:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2018-01-27 06:52:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2019-02-26 06:14:58 +00:00
|
|
|
It is also possible to run the broker data feed micro service as a daemon::
|
2018-04-18 18:03:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pikerd -l info
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then start the client app as normal::
|
|
|
|
|
|
2019-02-26 06:14:58 +00:00
|
|
|

====================

|
|
|
For those running pop-culture distros that don't yet ship ``python3.7``
|
2018-02-15 18:33:53 +00:00
|
|
|
you'll need to install it as well as `kivy source build`_ dependencies
|
|
|
|
|
since currently there's reliance on an async development branch.

|

|
