An implementation of a Stockfighter server in Python 3
Written by Stockfighter user Amtiskaw (a.k.a. Fohristiwhirl on GitHub)
- Run
python3 disorderBook_main.py - Connect your trading bots to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ob/api/ instead of the normal URL
- Don't use https
Thanks to the SimpleWebSocketServer library (included in the repo), we now have WebSockets. They cause a bit of a performance hit and are disabled by default; enable with the --websockets command line option. Connect in via ws://127.0.0.1:8001/ob/api/ws/ and note we use ws, not wss.
There is no authentication by default. If you want authentication, edit accounts.json to contain a list of valid users and their API keys and use the command line option -a accounts.json (then authentication will work in the same way as on the official servers, via "X-Starfighter-Authorization" headers).
- Your bots can use whatever accounts, venues, and symbols they like
- New exchanges/stocks are created as needed when someone tries to do something on them
- Two stupid bots are included - you must start them (or many copies) manually
- Scores can be accessed at /ob/api/venues/<venue>/stocks/<symbol>/scores (accessing this with your bots is cheating though)
- Everything persists forever; we will eventually run out of RAM
- disorderBook does not serve traffic directly, except to clients on the same host
- disorderBook does not speak TLS
If you want either of these features, put it behind a reverse proxy like NGINX.

A version made with C and Go now exists, it's faster.
