Orderbook

An extensible limit order book model written in Crystal.

Designed to be used in live trading and backtesting market making strategies.

It uses the Dense Tick Format for all ticks and orders in an effort to keep the API somewhat uniform.

Installation

  1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

    dependencies:
  orderbook:
    github: nolantait/orderbook.cr

  2. Run shards install

Usage

require "orderbook"
require "big"

Orderbook.run do |book|
  book.on Orderbook::LimitOrderFilled do |order|
    puts "ORDER FILLED"
  end

  sell_order = Orderbook::LimitOrder.new(
    id: "1",
    is_bid: false,
    quantity: BigDecimal.new(0.5),
    price: BigDecimal.new(0.1)
  )

  tick = Tick.new(
    timestamp: 123456,
    is_trade: true,
    is_bid: true,
    price: BigDecimal.new(0.1),
    quantity: BigDecimal.new(1)
  )

  book.add_order sell_order
  book.emit tick
end

OR you could initialize the book yourself without a block:

book = Orderbook.build
# Do stuff from above here

Running either would print "ORDER FILLED"

Development

shards install and then crystal specs
