Such that if/when the `push()` ticker callback (closure) errors internally, we actually eventually bubble the error out-and-up from the `asyncio.Task` and from there out the `.to_asyncio.open_channel_from()` to the parent `trio.Task`.. It ended up being much more subtle to solve then i would have liked thanks to, - whatever `Ticker.updateEvent.connect()` does behind the scenes in terms of (clearly) swallowing with only log reporting any exc raised in the registered callback (in our case `push()`), - `asyncio.Task.set_excepion()` never working and instead needing to resort to `Task.cancel()`, catching `CancelledError` and re-raising the stashed `maybe_exc` from `push()` when set.. Further this ports `.to_asyncio.open_channel_from()` usage to use the new `chan: tractor.to_asyncio.LinkedTaskChannel` fn-sig API, namely for `_setup_quote_stream()` task. Requires the latest `tractor` updates to the inter-eventloop-chan iface providing a `.set_nowait()` and `.get()` for the `asyncio`-side. Impl deats within `_setup_quote_stream()`, - implement `push()` error-bubbling by adding a `maybe_exc` which can be set by that callback itself or by its registering task; when set it is both, * reported on by the `teardown()` cb, * re-raised by the terminated (via `.cancel()`) `asyncio.Task` after woken from its sleep, aka "cancelled" (since that's apparently one of the only options.. see big rant further todo comments). - add explicit error-tolerance-tuning via a `handler_tries: int` counter and `tries_before_raise: int` limit such that we only bubble a `push()` raised exc once enough tries have consecutively failed. - as mentioned, use the new `chan` fn-sig support and thus the new method API for `asyncio` -> `trio` comms. - a big TODO XXX around the need to use a better sys for terminating `asyncio.Task`s whether it's by delegating to some `.to_asyncio` internals after a factor-out OR by potentially going full bore `anyio` throughout `.to_asyncio`'s impl in general.. - mk `teardown()` use appropriate `log.<level>()`s based on outcome. Surroundingly, - add a ton of doc-strings to mod fns previously missing them. - improved / added-new comments to `wait_on_data_reset()` internals and anything changed per ^above. |

piker
trading gear for hackers
piker
is a broker agnostic, next-gen FOSS toolset and runtime for real-time computational trading targeted at hardcore Linux users .
we use much bleeding edge tech including (but not limited to):
- latest python for glue
- uv for packaging and distribution
- trio & tractor for our distributed structured concurrency runtime
- Qt for pristine low latency UIs
- pyqtgraph (which we've extended) for real-time charting and graphics
polars
numpy
andnumba
for redic fast numerics- apache arrow and parquet for time-series storage
potential projects we might integrate with soon,
- (already prototyped in ) techtonicdb for L2 book storage
focus and feats:
fitting with these tenets, we're always open to new framework/lib/service interop suggestions and ideas!
- 100% federated: your code, your hardware, your data feeds, your broker fills.
- zero web: low latency as a prime objective, native UIs and modern IPC protocols without trying to re-invent the "OS-as-an-app"..
- maximal privacy: prevent brokers and mms from knowing your planz; smack their spreads with dark volume from a VPN tunnel.
- 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 a next-gen structured concurrency supervision sys.
- traders first: broker/exchange/venue/asset-class/money-sys agnostic
- systems grounded: real-time financial signal processing (fsp) 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 (or maybe even a DDE).
- data collab at scale: every actor-process and protocol is multi-host aware.
- fight club ready: zero interest in adoption by suits; no corporate friendly license, ever.
building the hottest looking, fastest, most reliable, keyboard friendly FOSS trading platform is the dream; join the cause.
a sane install with uv
bc why install with python when you can faster with rust :
uv sync
# ^ astral's docs,
# https://docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/projects/sync/
include all GUIs :
uv sync --extra uis
AND with all our hacking tools:
uv sync --dev --extra uis
Ensure you can run the root-daemon:
uv run pikerd [-l info --pdb]
hacky install on nixos
NixOS
is our core devs' distro of choice for which we offer a stringently defined development shell envoirment that can be loaded with:
nix-shell default.nix
start a chart
run a realtime OHLCV chart stand-alone:
[uv run] piker -l info chart btcusdt.spot.binance xmrusdt.spot.kraken
# ^^^ iff you haven't activated the py-env,
# - https://docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/projects/run/
#
# in order to create an explicit virt-env see,
# - https://docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/projects/layout/#the-project-environment
# - https://docs.astral.sh/uv/pip/environments/
#
# use $UV_PROJECT_ENVIRONMENT to select any non-`.venv/`
# as the venv sudir in the repo's root.
# - https://docs.astral.sh/uv/reference/environment/#uv_project_environment
this runs a chart UI (with 1m sampled OHLCV) and shows 2 spot markets from 2 diff cexes overlayed on the same graph. Use of piker without first starting a daemon (pikerd - see below) means there is an implicit spawning of the multi-actor-runtime (implemented as a tractor app).
For additional subsystem feats available through our chart UI see the various sub-readmes:
- order control using a mouse-n-keyboard UX B)
- cross venue market-pair (what most call "symbol") search, select, overlay Bo
- financial-signal-processing (piker.fsp) write-n-reload to sub-chart BO
- src-asset derivatives scan for anal, like the infamous "max pain" XO
spawn a daemon standalone
we call the root actor-process the pikerd
. it can be (and is recommended normally to be) started separately from the piker chart
program:
pikerd -l info --pdb
the daemon does nothing until a piker
-client (like piker chart
) connects and requests some particular sub-system. for a connecting chart pikerd
will spawn and manage at least,
- a data-feed daemon:
datad
which does all the work of comms with the backend provider (in this case thebinance
cex). - a paper-trading engine instance,
paperboi.binance
, (if no live account has been configured) which allows for auto/manual order control against the live quote stream.
using an actor-service (aka micro-daemon) manager which dynamically supervises various sub-subsystems-as-services throughout the piker
runtime-stack.
now you can (implicitly) connect your chart:
piker chart btcusdt.spot.binance
since pikerd
was started separately you can now enjoy a persistent real-time data stream tied to the daemon-tree's lifetime. i.e. the next time you spawn a chart it will obviously not only load much faster (since the underlying datad.binance
is left running with its in-memory IPC data structures) but also the data-feed and any order mgmt states should be persistent until you finally cancel pikerd
.
if anyone asks you what this project is about
you don't talk about it; just use it.
how do i get involved?
enter the matrix.
how come there ain't that many docs
i mean we want/need them but building the core right has been higher prio then marketting (and likely will stay that way Bp).
soo, suck it up bc,
- no one is trying to sell you on anything
- learning the code base is prolly way more valuable
- the UI/UXs are intended to be "intuitive" for any hacker..
we obviously need tonz help so if you want to start somewhere and can't necessarily write "advanced" concurrent python/rust code, this helping document literally anything might be the place for you!
