Rust binding for CTP and it's variations

🦀 rtp: Safe Rust Bindings for CTP Trading System(and it's variations)

rtp provides safe and ergonomic Rust bindings for the CTP (Comprehensive Transaction Platform) trading system, widely used in Chinese financial markets. This project aims to bring Rust's safety and performance guarantees to the CTP ecosystem while maintaining compatibility with various CTP-compatible implementations.

CTP versions

🌟 Features

• Safe Abstractions: Zero-cost abstractions over CTP's C++ interfaces with Rust's safety guarantees
• Multiple CTP Variants: Support for different CTP implementations across brokers and markets
• Error Handling: Rust-native error handling replacing C++ exceptions
• Async Support: Modern async/await API for event handling
• Cross-Platform: Windows and Linux support
• Zero Overhead: Direct FFI bindings with no runtime cost
• Type Safety: Strong typing for market data and trading interfaces

🚀 Quick Start

use rust_ctp::prelude::*;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create a new CTP client
    let mut client = CtpTradingClient::new()
        .front_addr("tcp://180.168.146.187:10130")
        .broker_id("9999")
        .build()?;

    // Connect and login
    client.connect().await?;
    client.login("YOUR_USERNAME", "YOUR_PASSWORD").await?;

    // Subscribe to market data
    client.subscribe(&["rb2410"]).await?;

    // Handle market data
    while let Some(data) = client.next_tick().await {
        println!("Received tick: {:?}", data);
    }

    Ok(())
}
