pysystemtrade is a Python framework for systematic futures trading, implementing the systems from Rob Carver's book 'Systematic Trading'. It serves as both a backtesting environment and a fully automated production trading system connected to Interactive Brokers.
Use cases
- backtest systematic futures trading strategies in python
- run an automated futures trading system with interactive brokers
- implement trading strategies from Rob Carver's systematic trading book
- test portfolio optimisation and position sizing rules on historical futures data
- build a production algo-trading pipeline for futures markets
When to choose
- you want to replicate or extend Rob Carver's systematic trading framework
- you need both backtesting and live automated futures trading in one codebase
- you trade futures via Interactive Brokers and want open-source automation
- you're comfortable with Python and want a head start on your own trading system
When to avoid
- you need a polished product with professional support rather than a DIY framework
- you trade equities, crypto, or forex rather than futures
- you're not comfortable writing and debugging Python code yourself
- you want a package installable from PyPI
