Tyler Goodlet a8c4829cb6 Start using `tick_size` throughout charting 
The min tick size is the smallest step an instrument can move in value
(think the number of decimals places of precision the value can have).

We start leveraging this in a few places:
- make our internal "symbol" type expose it as part of it's api
  so that it can be passed around by UI components
- in y-axis view box scaling, use it to keep the bid/ask spread (L1 UI)
  always on screen even in the case where the spread has moved further
  out of view then the last clearing price
- allows the EMS to determine dark order live order submission offsets

piker

trading gear for hackers.

gh_actions

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

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

focus and features:

  • zero web, cloud or "backtesting frameworks" (aka yabf)
  • zero self promotion (aka pump); expected throughout the community
  • 100% federated: your code, your hardware, your data feeds, your broker fills
  • broker/exchange/asset-class agnostic
  • privacy
  • real-time financial signal processing from the ground up
  • high quality, attractive, native UX with expected use in tiling wms
  • sophisticated rt charting and data sharing facilities
  • geared for collaboration within trader communities
  • zero interest in adoption by suits; no corporate friendly license, ever.
  • not built for sale; built for people

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. 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 new components within trio.

for a development install:

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

if anyone asks you what this project is about

you don't talk about it.

how do i get involved?

enter the matrix.

learning the code is to your benefit and acts as a filter for desired users; many alpha nuggets within.
