For anyone curious how it works: you write strategies in Python, the engine underneath is Rust, and the whole thing is open source

@NautilusTrader The best part of NautilusTrader: my backtest code and my live trading code are the same code.
No rewrite between research and production. Rust core, Python on top, and it's open source.

nautechsystems/nautilus_trader: nautechsystems/nautilus_trader
benim en ilginç bulduklarımdan biri
Rust core + Python tarafı var ve event-driven çalışıyor
özellikle:
order book
tick data
multi venue
execution
latency
realistic simulation
tarafına indikçe klasik basit backtestlerden çok daha anlamlı hale geliyor
aynı strategy kodunu backtest ve live tarafta kullanmayı hedefliyor

10 Open-Source Repos That Turn AI Agents Into a Wall Street Trading Desk
Quant funds spend millions every year on proprietary terminals, research desks, and execution engines. These 10 open-source GitHub repositories—totaling over 329,000+ stars—replicate that entire institutional quantitative trading stack for $0.
From multi-agent investment committees to sub-millisecond Rust execution engines, here is how each repository fits into the modern algorithmic trading stack:
⏱️ CHAPTERS:
0:00 - The $10M Wall Street Software Secret
0:23 - Layer 1: Data Ingestion & Multi-Agent Research (OpenBB & TradingAgents)
0:52 - Layer 2: Automated Factor Research & Alpha Discovery (qlib & RD-Agent)
1:23 - Layer 3: Derivatives Math & Zero-Shot Forecasting (gs-quant & Chronos)
1:52 - Layer 4: Institutional Risk & Portfolio Optimization (QuantLib & skfolio)
2:18 - Layer 5: High-Speed Backtesting & Live Execution (vectorbt & NautilusTrader)
2:46 - The Complete Open-Source Hedge Fund Architecture
🔗 FEATURED GITHUB REPOSITORIES (329k+ Stars):
1. OpenBB (75k★) — Open data platform for analysts, quants, and AI agents: OpenBB-finance/OpenBB
2. TradingAgents (118k★) — Multi-agent trading firm with analyst debates & risk sign-off: TauricResearch/TradingAgents
3. qlib (50k★) — Microsoft AI-oriented quant investment platform: microsoft/qlib
4. RD-Agent (15k★) — Microsoft autonomous AI factor researcher & backtester: microsoft/RD-Agent
5. gs-quant (14k★) — Goldman Sachs institutional quant & derivatives toolkit: goldmansachs/gs-quant
6. Chronos (6k★) — Amazon Science pretrained zero-shot time-series forecasting: amazon-science/chronos-forecasting
7. QuantLib (8k★) — Quantitative finance library for modeling, trading, & risk: lballabio/QuantLib
8. skfolio (3k★) — Scikit-learn portfolio optimization & factor models: skfolio/skfolio
9. vectorbt (10k★) — Lightning-fast vectorized matrix backtesting engine: polakowo/vectorbt
10. NautilusTrader (31k★) — Production-grade Rust-native event-driven execution engine: nautechsystems/nautilus_trader

Stop Cloning Trading Repos. You Need 3.
There are 51 trading repositories on GitHub with more than 5,000 stars. Every video tells you to
try all of them. You need three — sorted by what they actually do, not by how many stars they
have.
THE THREE
· READ THE MARKET — TauricResearch/TradingAgents (112,063 ★) — a panel of language models that
argues about a ticker, then hands you a verdict. Pushed 3 days ago.
· CONNECT TO AN EXCHANGE — ccxt/ccxt (44,465 ★) — one interface, a hundred exchanges. Everything
else is built on top of it. Pushed today.
· EXECUTE AND HOLD — freqtrade/freqtrade (55,625 ★) — backtests before it trades, and keeps a log
of every fill. Pushed today.
If freqtrade is too slow for you: nautechsystems/nautilus_trader (30,340 ★, Rust core).
THE PART NOBODY SAYS
Backtrader: 23,520 stars, last push 791 days ago.
Zipline: 20,151 stars, last push 979 days ago.
Both still appear on every "top 10 trading repos" list — because lists sort by stars, and stars
are history, not maintenance.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
CHAPTERS
0:00 51 repos, 3 jobs
0:14 The pile, ranked by stars
0:34 #1 Read the market — TradingAgents
1:02 #2 Connect to an exchange — ccxt
1:28 #3 Execute and hold — freqtrade (+ Nautilus)
1:54 The two that are dead but still recommended
2:20 The whole stack
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
METHOD
· Source: GitHub REST API, snapshot 19 October 2026
· Filter: "trading", 5,000+ stars, not archived → 51 repositories
· "Days since push" = snapshot date − last push date
· Stars are cumulative and include forks-adjacent attention; they are not a quality score

Here you go @SaylessMoon 🤖 NautilusTrader (free): nautechsystems/nautilus_trader
Heads up: it can't connect to Tradovate, so it won't run on prop firms like Lucid or Apex. My prop firm setup: strategy in TradingView → alert → TradersPost → Tradovate → prop account.
Are you trading crypto or futures? 👀
做量化的人通常先在 Python 里跑研究,再用 C++ 或 Rust 把策略重写一遍才敢上实盘。这个项目把这两步并成一套,Rust 内核扛事件驱动运行时,Python 负责写策略和调度,同一份代码直接推实盘。
