Being unemployed and wanting to make something, I started studying quantitative trading concepts and got into algorithmic trading.
I decided to build out an algorithmic trading platform using the tools I developed for myself.
It's written entirely in Rust but user algorithms are written in TypeScript. It uses a Cloudflare-workers inspired approach to run the user functions.
The server uses under a megabyte of ram to run and user functions also use a negligible amount of memory per invocation.
It's also super fast, with round trip latency of 3ms - well, at least it does when I use the proper server. I'm running it on my low cost server right now so latency is around 50ms.
I know no one will use it, but it's been very fun to make
actually quite cool.
