nautilus-model

Trading domain model for NautilusTrader.

The model crate provides a type-safe domain model that forms the backbone of NautilusTrader and can serve as the foundation for other algorithmic trading systems.

Platform

NautilusTrader is an open-source, high-performance, production-grade algorithmic trading platform, providing quantitative traders with the ability to backtest portfolios of automated trading strategies on historical data with an event-driven engine, and also deploy those same strategies live, with no code changes.

NautilusTrader's design, architecture, and implementation philosophy prioritizes software correctness and safety at the highest level, with the aim of supporting mission-critical, trading system backtesting and live deployment workloads.

Feature flags
