Welcome to quanttrader, a pure python-based event-driven backtest and live trading package for quant traders.

The source code is completely open-sourced here on GitHub. The package is published here on pypi and is ready to be pip installed. The document is hosted here on readthedocs.

In most cases, a backtest strategy can be directly used for live trade by simply switching to live brokerage. A control window is provided to monitor live trading sessions for each strategy separately and the portfolio as a whole.
