Barter is an open-source Rust framework and ecosystem of crates for building high-performance, event-driven algorithmic trading systems supporting live-trading, paper-trading, and backtesting. It provides modular components for streaming market data, executing orders, and pluggable Strategy and RiskManager building blocks.
Use cases
- backtest trading strategies in rust
- build a live trading bot for crypto exchanges
- stream market data from financial venues
- run thousands of concurrent backtests
- implement market making or stat arb strategies
- paper trade before going live
- build a high-frequency trading system
When to choose
- you need a fast, native Rust trading engine with minimal allocations
- you want plug-and-play Strategy and RiskManager components
- you need both backtesting and live trading in one ecosystem
- you want to stream public and private exchange data via WebSocket/REST
When to avoid
- you need a turnkey trading platform with a GUI
- your stack is Python-based (e.g., backtrader, zipline)
- you only need simple charting or portfolio tracking
- you require exchange integrations not yet supported by Barter-Data/Execution
