Trading domain model for [NautilusTrader](http://nautilustrader.io).
The `nautilus-model` crate provides a type-safe domain model that forms the backbone of the framework
and can serve as the foundation for building algorithmic trading systems.
## Platform
[NautilusTrader](http://nautilustrader.io) is an open-source, high-performance, production-grade
algorithmic trading platform, providing quantitative traders with the ability to backtest
portfolios of automated trading strategies on historical data with an event-driven engine,
and also deploy those same strategies live, with no code changes.
NautilusTrader's design, architecture, and implementation philosophy prioritizes software correctness and safety at the
highest level, with the aim of supporting mission-critical, trading system backtesting and live deployment workloads.
