``piker`` is an attempt at a pro-grade, broker agnostic, next-gen FOSS toolset for real-time
|
2020-05-12 02:43:30 +00:00
|
|
|
trading and financial analysis targetted at hardcore Linux users.

It tries to use as much bleeding edge tech as possible including (but not limited to):

Focus and Features:
|
|
|
|
*******************
|
2020-06-02 14:32:04 +00:00
|
|
|
- 100% federated: running your code on your hardware with your
|
|
|
|
broker's data feeds, privately, **is the point** (this is not a web-based *I
|
2020-05-12 02:43:30 +00:00
|
|
|
don't know how to run my own system* project).
|
2020-06-02 14:32:04 +00:00
|
|
|
- Asset class, broker, exchange agnostic.
|
|
|
|
- Built on a highly reliable `structured concurrent actor model
|
|
|
|
<tractor>`_ with built in async streaming and scalability protocols
|
|
|
|
allowing for a distributed architecture from the ground up.
|
2020-06-01 18:43:39 +00:00
|
|
|
- Privacy: your orders, indicators, algos are all run client side and
|
|
|
|
are shared only with the (groups of) traders you specify.
|
2020-05-12 02:43:30 +00:00
|
|
|
- Production grade, highly attractive native UIs that feel and fit like
|
|
|
|
a proper pair of skinny jeans; only meant to be used with a proper
|
|
|
|
tiling window manager (no, we are not ignorant enough to roll our own).
|
|
|
|
- Sophisticated charting capable of processing large data sets in real-time
|
|
|
|
while sanely displaying complex models and strategy systems.
|
|
|
|
- Built-in support for *hipstery* indicators and studies that you
|
|
|
|
probably haven't heard of but that the authors **know** generate alpha
|
|
|
|
when paired with the right strategies.
|
2020-06-01 18:43:39 +00:00
|
|
|
- Emphasis on collaboration through sharing of data, ideas, and processing
|
2020-06-02 14:32:04 +00:00
|
|
|
power. We will not host your code in the cloud nor ask you to
|
|
|
|
participate in any lame "alpha competitions".
|
2020-05-12 02:43:30 +00:00
|
|
|
- Adoption is very low priority, especially if you're not an experienced
|
2020-06-01 18:43:39 +00:00
|
|
|
trader; the system is not built for sale it is built for *people*.
|
|
|
|
- No, we will never have a "corporation friendly license"; if you intend to use
|
|
|
|
this code base we must know about it.
|
2020-05-12 02:43:30 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fitting with these tenets, we're always open to new framework suggestions and ideas.
|
2019-03-22 02:46:20 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building the best looking, most reliable, keyboard friendly trading platform is the dream.
|
|
|
|
Feel free to pipe in with your ideas and quiffs.

Install
|
|
|
|
*******
|
2019-03-22 02:46:20 +00:00
|
|
|
``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`_.
|

|
|

|
2019-04-30 17:19:04 +00:00
|
|
|
Before installing make sure you have `pipenv`_ and have installed
|
|
|
|
``python3.7`` as well as `kivy source build`_ dependencies
|
|
|
|
since currently there's reliance on an async development branch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`kivy` dependencies
|
|
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
On Archlinux you need the following dependencies::
|
|
|
|
|
2019-05-01 23:34:01 +00:00
|
|
|
pacman -S python-docutils gstreamer sdl2_ttf sdl2_mixer sdl2_image xclip
|
2019-04-30 17:19:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To manually install the async branch of ``kivy`` from github do (though
|
|
|
|
this should be done as part of the ``pipenv install`` below)::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pipenv install -e 'git+git://github.com/matham/kivy.git@async-loop#egg=kivy'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _kivy source build:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
2019-04-30 17:19:04 +00:00
|
|
|
pipenv install --pre -e .
|
2018-03-28 19:22:39 +00:00
|
|
|
pipenv shell
|
2018-02-12 15:55:04 +00:00

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
|
|
|
piker monitor indexes
|
2018-04-18 18:03:59 +00:00
|
