NautilusTrader sandbox execution adapter for paper trading.

The nautilus-sandbox crate provides a simulated execution client that uses the OrderMatchingEngine to simulate order execution against live market data. This enables paper trading and strategy testing in real-time without actual order execution on exchanges.

Features

  • Paper trading against live market data from any data source.
  • Full order matching simulation using the production-grade OrderMatchingEngine.
  • Support for all order types (market, limit, stop, etc.).
  • Configurable fill models and fee models.
  • Account balance and position tracking.
  • Support for both cash and margin account types.

Platform

NautilusTrader 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.

Feature flags

This crate provides feature flags to control source code inclusion during compilation:

  • python: Enables Python bindings from PyO3.
  • extension-module: Builds as a Python extension module.

High-precision mode (128-bit value types) is enabled by default.
