The goal for LoopTrader is to provide a flexible engine for running one or more option trading strategies in real-time against provided broker API's. The Key Features include:

• Simple to setup and run multiple trading bots
• Extensibility for various brokers, trading strategies, and logging patterns
• Local storage for trades and orders (In Progress)
• Support for notifications and interactions through tools like Telegram

LoopTrader is very much a work in progress and is currently not feature complete. See the Issues for what remains open, or to make a suggestion.

Getting up and running with LoopTrader is just a few commands:

# Clone LoopTrader

Usage

Currently all configuration of LoopTrader is done in the code when creating the bot in main.py, the .env, and config.yaml file. A sample .env and .yaml file are provided, but should be renamed to ".env" and "config.yaml" respectively, with the configuration variables populated.
