Anti-fragile trading gear for hackers, scientists, stay-at-home quants and underpants warriors.

Install
|
|
*******
|
|
``piker`` is currently under heavy alpha development and as such should
|
|
be cloned from this repo and hacked on directly.
|
|
|
|
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`_.
|
|
For a development install::
|
|
|
|
git clone git@github.com:pikers/piker.git
|
|
cd piker
|
|
pipenv install --dev -e .
|
|
pipenv shell
|
|
|
|
To start the real-time index ETF watchlist::
|
|
|
|
piker watch indexes -l info
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to see super granular price changes, increase the
|
|
broker quote query ``rate`` with ``-r``::
|
|
|
|
piker watch indexes -l info -r 10

Laggy distros
|
|
=============
|
|
For those running pop-culture distros that don't yet ship ``python3.6``
|
|
you'll need to install it as well as `kivy source build`_ dependencies
|
|
since currently there's reliance on an async development branch.
|
|
|
|
For `ubuntu` this looks like::
|
|
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/python-3.6
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
sudo apt-get install -y \
|
|
build-essential \
|
|
python3.6 \
|
|
python3.6-dev \
|
|
ffmpeg \
|
|
libsdl2-dev \
|
|
libsdl2-image-dev \
|
|
libsdl2-mixer-dev \
|
|
libsdl2-ttf-dev \
|
|
libportmidi-dev \
|
|
libswscale-dev \
|
|
libavformat-dev \
|
|
libavcodec-dev \
|
|
zlib1g-dev
|
|
|
|
# then to create your virtualenv with py3.6
|
|
virtualenv -p $(which python3.6) env
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _kivy source build:

Tech
|
|
****
|
|
``piker`` is an attempt at a pro-grade, next-gen open source toolset
|
|
for trading and financial analysis. As such, it tries to use as much
|
|
cutting edge tech as possible including Python 3.6+ and ``trio``.
