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`_ 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::
|
||||
|
||||
pacman -S python-docutils gstreamer sdl2_ttf sdl2_mixer sdl2_image xclip
|
||||
|
||||
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'

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`.
|
||||
For live data feeds the set of supported brokers is:
|
||||
- Questrade_ which comes with effectively free L1
|
||||
- IB_ via ib_insync
|
||||
- Webull_ via the reverse engineered public API
|
||||
- Kraken_ for crypto over their public websocket API
|
||||
|
||||
If you want your broker supported and they have an API let us know.

|

Bet you weren't expecting this from the foss::
|
||||
|
||||
To start the real-time index monitor with the `questrade` backend::
|
||||
|
||||
piker -l info monitor indexes
|
||||
piker chart spy.arca
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to see super granular price changes, increase the
|
||||
broker quote query ``rate`` with ``-r``::
|
||||
It is also possible to run a specific broker's data feed as a top
|
||||
level micro-service daemon::
|
||||
|
||||
piker monitor indexes -r 10
|
||||
pikerd -l info -b ib
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
It is also possible to run the broker data feed micro service as a daemon::
|
||||
|
||||
pikerd -l info
|
||||
|
||||
Then start the client app as normal::
|
||||
|
||||
piker monitor indexes
|
||||
piker chart -b ib ES.GLOBEX
