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.
