Shark - An Algorithmic Trading Platform
Shark is an open source algorithmic trading platform under active development.
It enables the use of programmable algorithms to identify and execute upon trading opportunities, perform back/foward testing, comes with a multitude of plugins, and can operate against REST and streaming APIs.
The example configuration demostrates a simple moving average crossover against the TOP 20 Crypto, and though the demo focuses on cryptocurrencies, it could easily be adjusted to suit any financial market.
See the plugins for a list of capabilities, and broker configurations can be found here.
