Zipline Trader - Documentation under construction

Welcome to zipline-trader, the on-premise trading platform built on top of Quantopian’s zipline.

Quantopian closed their services, so this project tries to be a suitable replacement.

zipline-trader is based on previous projects and work:

• zipline project.

• zipline-live project.

• zipline-live2 project.

zipline-live and zipline-live2 are past iterations of this project and this is the up to date project.

After Quantopian closed their services, this project was updated to supply a suitable and sustainable replacement for users that want to run their algorithmic trading on their own without relying on online services that may disappear one day. It is designed to be an extensible, drop-in replacement for zipline with multiple brokerage support to enable on premise trading of zipline algorithms.

I recommend using python 3.6
