PyAlgoTrade is an event driven algorithmic trading Python library that I started with one goal in mind: To make it easy to backtest stock trading strategies. This is, given a certain amount of historical data for one stock, I want to check how a certain stock trading strategy behaves.
Although initially designed for backtesting purposes, the design should adapt real trading scenarios and future releases will gradually support this.
It should also make it easy to optimize a strategy using multiple computers.
so you need to have those installed in order to use this library.
You can install PyAlgoTrade using pip like this:
pip install pyalgotrade
