Barter

Barter is an open-source Rust framework for building event-driven live-trading & backtesting systems. Algorithmic trade with the peace of mind that comes from knowing your strategies have been backtested with a near-identical trading Engine. It is:

  • Fast: Barter provides a multi-threaded trading Engine framework built in high-performance Rust (in-rust-we-trust).
  • Easy: Barter provides a modularised data architecture that focuses on simplicity.
  • Customisable: A set of traits define how every Barter component communicates, providing a highly extensible framework for trading.

Overview

Barter is an open-source Rust framework for building event-driven live-trading & backtesting systems. It provides a high-performance, easy to customise trading Engine that enables backtesting strategies on a near-identical system to live trading. The Engine can be controlled by issuing Commands over the Engine's command_tx. Similarly, the Engine's Events can be listened to using the event_rx (useful for event-sourcing). At a high level, it provides several de-coupled components that interact via a set of traits:

  • Data: MarketGenerator trait governs the generation of a MarketEvents that acts as the system heartbeat. For example, a live::MarketFeed implementation is provided that utilises Barter-Data WebSocket integrations to provide live exchange data (ie/ trades, candles, etc).
  • Strategy: The SignalGenerator trait governs potential generation of Signal after analysing incoming MarketEvents. Signals are advisory and sent to the Portfolio for analysis.
  • Portfolio: MarketUpdater, OrderGenerator, and FillUpdater govern global state Portfolio implementations. A Portfolio may generate OrderEvents after receiving advisory SignalEvents from a Strategy. The Portfolio's state updates after receiving MarketEvents and FillEvents.
  • Execution: The ExecutionClient trait governs the generation of FillEvents after receiving OrderEvents from the Portfolio. For example, a SimulatedExecution handler implementation is provided for simulating any exchange execution behaviour required in dry-trading or backtesting runs.
  • Statistic: Provides metrics such as Sharpe Ratio, Calmar Ratio, and Max Drawdown to analyse trading session performance. One-pass dispersion algorithms analyse each closed Position and efficiently calculates a trading summary.
  • Trader: Capable of trading a single market pair using a customisable selection of it's own Data, Strategy & Execution instances, as well as shared access to a global Portfolio.
  • Engine: Multi-threaded trading Engine capable of trading with an arbitrary number of Trader market pairs. Each contained Trader instance operates on its own thread.

Example

  • For brevity: Imports are not included - see /examples for everything you need!
  • For simplicity:
    • Engine and Trader(s) are configuration with hard-coded values rather than loaded in configuration values.
    • Engine only contains one Trader (usually you would have many Traders, one for each Market).
    • Remote Commands (eg/ Command::Terminate, Command::ExitPosition) are not sent to the Engine via it's command_tx, this control over the Engine can be added as per your taste (eg/ connected to an HTTP endpoint).
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Setup Logger & Load Config For Engine & Trader Instances Here

    // Create channel to distribute Commands to the Engine & it's Traders (eg/ Command::Terminate)
    let (command_tx, command_rx) = mpsc::channel(20);
    
    // Create Event channel to listen to all Engine Events in real-time
    let (event_tx, event_rx) = mpsc::unbounded_channel();
    let event_tx = EventTx::new(event_tx);
    
    // Generate unique identifier to associate an Engine's components

Related Projects

In addition to the Barter crate, the Barter project also maintains:

  • Barter-Integration: High-performance, low-level framework for composing flexible web integrations.
  • Barter-Data: High performance & normalised WebSocket integration for leading cryptocurrency exchanges - batteries included.
  • Barter-Execution: In development and soon to be integrated.

Roadmap

  • Integrate the new "Barter-Execution" library to provide additional out-of-the-box functionality for executing OrderEvents.
  • Build Strategy utilities for aggregating tick-by-tick Trades and/or Candles into multi-timeframe datastructures, as well as providing an example multi-timeframe Strategy using the utilities.
  • Flesh out the MetaPortfolio Allocator & Risk management systems.
  • And more!
