## What it is
CppTrader is a C++ library of high-performance components for building trading platforms, including an ultra-fast matching engine, order book processor, and NASDAQ ITCH feed handler. It is cross-platform, MIT-licensed, and ships with benchmarks, examples, and tests.

## Use cases
- build a low-latency order matching engine
- process NASDAQ ITCH market data feeds
- maintain and update order books in C++
- benchmark market data handler performance
- prototype a high-frequency trading platform

## When to choose
- you need ultra-low-latency matching or order book processing in C++
- you must parse NASDAQ ITCH feeds efficiently
- you want a lightweight, MIT-licensed trading core with benchmarks and tests

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured retail trading platform with UI and broker connectivity
- you prefer a managed or higher-level language solution
- you need support for exchanges other than NASDAQ ITCH out of the box

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: trading, parser, benchmarking, developer-tools
- domain: fintech, performance
- platform: windows, cpp, cross-platform
- tags: matching-engine, order-book, nasdaq-itch, low-latency, market-data, hft, trading, algorithms, linux, macos
