piker

Trading gear for hackers.

piker is an attempt at a pro-grade, broker agnostic, next-gen FOSS toolset for real-time trading and financial analysis.

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

Python 3.7+
trio
tractor
kivy

Also, we're always open to new framework suggestions and ideas!

Building the best looking, most reliable, keyboard friendly trading platform is the dream. Feel free to pipe in with your ideas and quiffs.

Install

piker is currently under heavy pre-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

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.

Play with some UIs

To start the real-time index monitor with the questrade backend:

piker -l info monitor indexes

If you want to see super granular price changes, increase the broker quote query rate with -r:

piker monitor indexes -r 10

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

Finicky dependencies

For those running pop-culture distros that don't yet ship python3.7 you'll need to install it as well as kivy source build dependencies since currently there's reliance on an async development branch.
