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.

Features

Rust-native engine optimized for minimal memory allocations and fast performance
Extensible, thread-safe architecture with multithreaded execution using Tokio
Modular crates covering data ingestion, execution, instruments, and integrations
Plug-and-play Strategy and RiskManager interfaces for custom algorithms
Backtesting utilities alongside live and dry-trading pipelines
Rich analytics including performance metrics (PnL, Sharpe, Sortino, drawdown, etc.)
