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.

Play with some UIs

Check out some charts
*********************
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
