Barter

Barter is an open-source, Rust-based ecosystem of libraries for building high-performance, event-driven algorithmic trading systems—covering live trading, paper trading, and backtesting. It is designed for safety, speed, and flexibility in quantitative finance workflows. Use mock MarketStream or Execution components to enable back-testing on a near-identical trading system as live-trading. Centralised cache-friendly state management system with O(1) constant lookups using indexed data structures. Robust Order management system - use stand-alone or with Barter. Turn on/off algorithmic trading from an external process (eg/ UI, Telegram, etc.) whilst still processing market/account data.
