Catalyst is a Python algorithmic trading library for crypto-assets, built as an extension of Quantopian's Zipline. It supports backtesting strategies against historical daily and minute data and live trading on exchanges like Binance, Bitfinex, Bittrex, and Poloniex.
Use cases
- backtest crypto trading strategies in python
- algorithmic trading library for cryptocurrencies
- live trade bitcoin on binance from python
- analyze performance of a crypto trading strategy
- zipline-like framework for crypto-assets
- test trading algorithms against historical crypto price data
When to choose
- you want a Zipline-compatible API adapted for crypto-assets
- you need both backtesting and live trading with a seamless transition
- you want pandas-based performance analytics for trading strategies
When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained project - it has been unmaintained since end of 2018
- you need exchanges beyond Binance, Bitfinex, Bittrex, or Poloniex
- you prefer a modern framework with current Python version support
