How do we pick the projects?

  • Fit in Systematic Trading / Quantitative Trading domain
  • Good coding style and software architecture
  • (Optional) Under active development
  • (Optional) Reasonable test coverage

Overall, I tend to pick decent or promising libraries that closely related to systematic trading instead of including as many libraries as possible.

Please raise a PR if you found some good fit projects for this repo or remove some outdated projects. Thanks!

Search page by languages you are interested in to find related libraries. For example: Ctrl+F, Rust

And I count crypto as whole new category: >> Click ME to Systematic Crypto.
