piker

trading gear for hackers.

gh_actions

piker is a broker agnostic, next-gen FOSS toolset for real-time computational trading targeted at hardcore Linux users .

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

focus and features:

  • 100% federated: your code, your hardware, your data feeds, your broker fills.
  • zero web: low latency, native software that doesn't try to re-invent the OS
  • maximal privacy: prevent brokers and mms from knowing your planz; smack their spreads with dark volume.
  • zero clutter: modal, context oriented UIs that echew minimalism, reduce thought noise and encourage un-emotion.
  • first class parallelism: built from the ground up on next-gen structured concurrency primitives.
  • traders first: broker/exchange/asset-class agnostic
  • systems grounded: real-time financial signal processing that will make any queuing or DSP eng juice their shorts.
  • non-tina UX: sleek, powerful keyboard driven interaction with expected use in tiling wms
  • data collaboration: every process and protocol is multi-host scalable.
  • fight club ready: zero interest in adoption by suits; no corporate friendly license, ever.

fitting with these tenets, we're always open to new framework suggestions and ideas.

building the best looking, most reliable, keyboard friendly trading platform is the dream; join the cause.

install

piker is currently under heavy pre-alpha development and as such should be cloned from this repo and hacked on directly.

for a development install:

git clone git@github.com:pikers/piker.git
cd piker
virtualenv env
source ./env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt -e .

broker Support

for live data feeds the in-progress set of supported brokers is:

  • IB via ib_insync
  • questrade which comes with effectively free L1
  • kraken for crypto over their public websocket API

coming soon...

if you want your broker supported and they have an API let us know.

check out our charts

bet you weren't expecting this from the foss bby:

piker -b kraken chart XBTUSD

run in distributed mode

start the service daemon:

pikerd -l info

connect yourt chart:

piker -b kraken chart XMRXBT

enjoy persistent real-time data feeds tied to daemon lifetime.

if anyone asks you what this project is about

you don't talk about it.

how do i get involved?

enter the matrix.

how come there ain't that many docs

suck it up, learn the code; no one is trying to sell you on anything.
