README.rst

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

Install

piker is currently under heavy 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

To start the real-time index ETF watchlist 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.
