Trading Bot Simulator

This was a little hobby project I had inspired by my time messing around with the ETC Challenge while at Jane Street FTTP. I couldn't find any other platforms where I could upload code to test out trades and see them interact with each other, so I decided to make this.

I'm curious how cloud hosting this efficiently would work, since on the backend I would have a Python queue processing trades 24/7 (supposedly, I couldn't have an external system for orderbook management because of fulfillment delays).

I'm currently focusing more on other projects at the moment, but feel free to try this out and contribute!

Initialization Instructions

git clone this repository, then:

yarn add
cd apps/backend/
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Then, for database/auth features, setup .env with

SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URL=sqlite:///./backend/sql_app.db (example)
JWT_SECRET=some-jwt-secret

You will also need to setup other environmental and an Upstash instance for Apache Kafka. Then, simply yarn dev in the project root directory to start.

TODO

• Brush up frontend
• Create more trading bot example scripts in frontend/public
• Create documentation (with Sphinx?) for backend/utils/code_tooling
• Keep track of fair value when tracking leaderboard with decaying average of recent trades + allow shorting (negative shares)

... and a lot of other random ideas too.
