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.)

PRTG Catches Network Issues Before They Cause Downtime

Threshold-based alerts flag problems early, so your team can act before users notice, not after.

Reactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.
