StockPros

StockPros is an interface for implementing custom trading strategies. Users can backtest their strategies, paper trade, and live trade. It runs in Node.js and uses a few external services.

Services

• PostgreSQL - SQL database.
• Redis - in-memory data store.
• Alpaca - live/paper trading.
• Polygon - market data.
  • Polygon data is free with a live Alpaca trading account. If you set a Polygon API key in the environment variables (see below), it be used, otherwise the live Alpaca API key will be used.

Installation

Use the .env.example file to configure the environment variables for a given environment e.g. .env.local, .env.development, .env.staging, or .env.production.
