How It's Made! // Building A Crypto Trading Bot Network - A Tutorial (Part 1) // Whew, this was a tough one guys. It took 10x longer to put this together than I imagined. This is an in-depth review of my Bots and their parent system. Please let me know what you think and if I should continue.
Have you thought about using the FinTA package for trading signals and also ratelimit to help with some of those weird things that can pop up with dealing with external APIs
- Yesterday I came across Awesome-Quant repository and it was great. I went ahead and dig through all the backtesting & AI repos from Python and created a list of repo which are most updated & maintained. Let me know if I missed your favorite.

Important python libraries?
I'm also going to shamelessly plug fast-trade, which is a backtesting library where you write strategies as objects instead of actual code. It's also built on a couple of pretty wonderful libraries including pandas and FinTa, which has a lot of indicators and it's really simple to use.
- Why use ta_lib when you can use FinTA?

brute force matrix optimization for a snapshot of stock data.
Hey OP, I do something similar for a project I'm working on here: https://github.com/jrmeier/fast-trade/blob/b09500c8454ea748b3f0d7ff960eb2bea79ad7a8/fast_trade/run_backtest.py#L103 and https://github.com/jrmeier/fast-trade/blob/b09500c8454ea748b3f0d7ff960eb2bea79ad7a8/fast_trade/run_backtest.py#L126

What do they use to manage the tick data?
For ohlcv data,I wrote fast-trade with a data downloader. Basically it pulls 1 minute Kline data from Binance. It’s pretty easy to keep up to date. It works well for managing a local cache for backtesting.

Why aren’t there any mainstream algo trading platforms?
I’m working on something that attempts to do what you describe make it easy to signup and implemented a pre-made algo. It’s based on the library I wrote fast-trade. I’m a few weeks away from opening up a beta, but feel free to DM me if you want to check it out.

How to start developing your own backtester
You can start with fast-trade if you’d like. It’s a pretty simple backtesting engine but you can modify it however you’d like. Full disclosure I made it but I was trying to figure out how to get started as well and this is what I ended up with. Good luck!
