Shell
Shell is a ready-made graphical framework of a trading terminal with fully open C# source code. It is built on Avalonia and runs on Windows, Linux and macOS.
You do not need to spend time creating a GUI (Graphical User Interface): connecting to data sources, tables of portfolios, instruments, orders and trades, charts, backtesting, parameter optimization and the work log are already included. All that is left is to write the strategy itself.
Main features
- Full source code, suitable for custom trading robots and custom solutions.
- Support for more than 70 connections to exchanges and brokers through Connectors.
- Four workspaces switched by the side panel: Common, Real-time, Emulation and Logs.
- A flexible interface: all panels inside a workspace can be dragged, split, undocked into a separate window and docked back. The layout is saved between launches.
- Backtesting of strategies with statistics, a trades chart and an equity curve.
- Optimization - iterating over the strategy parameters on the same history.
- Saving and restoring strategy settings, including risk rules.
- Parallel launch of several strategies: each one lives its own life and has its own orders, trades and statistics.
- Launching strategies built in Designer without writing code.
- Remote control - starting and stopping strategies from the website or from the Telegram bot.
Bundled strategies
Shell comes with four strategies that can be launched right after the start:
