golden

golden is all in one trading engine built with Rust.

There are many public algorithmic trading platform like QuantConnect and JoinQuant for individual trader for learning, researching, backtesting and live-trading. However, we still private algorithmic trading platform for many reasons such as strategy privacy, system stability and other customed features.

One of the well-known private trading library is Backtrader, but the commmunity is not active recently. It hasn't updated since Apr 19, 2023. I also build a simple project based on backtrader and ib_insync, but it still need a lot of work to do to achieve above goals.

Inspired by backtrader, golden aims to build all in one trading engine supporting backtesting, analyzing, paper-trading and live-trading.
