IntroductionΒΆ
- QuantWorks is an event driven algorithmic trading Python library with support for:
- Backtesting with historical data from CSV files.
- Paper trading using Bitstamp live feeds.
- Real trading on Bitstamp.
It should also make it easy to optimize a strategy using multiple computers.
- QuantWorks is developed and tested using Python 2.7/3.7 and depends on:
- NumPy and SciPy (http://numpy.scipy.org/).
- pytz (http://pytz.sourceforge.net/).
- matplotlib (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/) for plotting support.
- ws4py (https://github.com/Lawouach/WebSocket-for-Python) for Bitstamp support.
- tornado (http://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable/) for Bitstamp support.
- tweepy (https://github.com/tweepy/tweepy) for Twitter support.
so you need to have those installed in order to use this library.
You can install QuantWorks using pip like this:
pip install quantworks
