piker
------
Anti-fragile trading gear for hackers, scientists, 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 very alpha components are being used atm pertaining to
async ports of libraries for use with ``trio``.
Before installing make sure you have ``pip`` and ``virtualenv``.
Then for a development install::
git clone git@github.com:pikers/piker.git
cd piker
virtualenv env
source ./env/bin/activate
pip install cython
pip install -e ./ -r requirements.txt
To start the real-time watchlist::
piker watch cannabis
If you insist on trying to install it (which should work) please do it
from this GitHub repository::
pip install git+git://github.com/pikers/piker.git
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``.
