This example shows how to set up a crypto strategy backtest using Binance ETHUSDT trade ticks. It loads trade data from a CSV, registers the instrument and a cash account, and configures a maker taker fee model with equal stated rates. The example strategy…

This tutorial describes a short-term order book imbalance strategy for a gold perpetual contract. It uses CME gold futures best bid and ask quotes as a proxy for the exchange contract, then triggers fill-or-kill orders toward the thinner side when the bid…

The document explains how a currency pair represents a spot or cash instrument quoted as base currency against quote currency. It distinguishes the asset being traded from the currency used to price it, and describes how the instrument type can represent…

This guide explains how a live trading system rebuilds and checks its internal order and position state against venue reports. At startup, it uses cached state when available, or creates state from venue orders and positions. During runtime, recurring checks…

The document presents two example automated strategies. The first combines Bollinger Bands with RSI: it enters long when price closes at or below the lower band and RSI is below a configurable threshold, and enters short when price reaches the upper band…

A limit order rests in the order book at a chosen price and can execute only at that price or a more favorable one. Traders can use it to control execution price, provide liquidity, make markets, scale into or out of positions, or seek maker fees when…

This document sets out how contributors should measure and report performance in trading software. It distinguishes small hot-path microbenchmarks from scenario benchmarks that approximate larger user workflows, and argues that benchmarks should represent…

The document explains two ways to obtain option sensitivities in a trading system: consume venue-reported Greeks, or calculate Black-Scholes values from cached market data. Venue values can be subscribed to, stored, and replayed as market data. The local…

The overview describes a multi-asset trading platform that uses a Rust core for event-driven processing and Python for strategy control and system orchestration. Its central design idea is to use common strategy and execution components across research,…

This documentation explains how NautilusTrader routes order commands from strategies through emulators or execution algorithms, risk checks, the execution engine, and venue clients. It distinguishes command paths for submissions, modifications,…

This guide explains how to build a minimal trading strategy in Rust using NautilusTrader. A strategy stores a runtime core, configures its strategy identifier and order ID tag, and uses a macro to provide native runtime wiring. It also needs a Debug…

This plotting script creates four explanatory visuals for an ETH short-strangle options example. The panels show expiry profit and loss for a short put and call, how the combined option delta may change as spot moves, how a threshold-triggered hedge could…

This reference explains how an exchange-defined futures spread is represented as a single tradable instrument, including calendar and inter-commodity spreads. The venue supplies the strategy symbol, tick size, expiry, and other contract details. The…

This documentation explains a trading platform’s logging architecture and configuration for both backtests and live systems. Python and platform events pass through a logger into a multi-producer, single-consumer queue, then a dedicated thread writes them to…

This reference explains a mark price update as a data record for an instrument’s current mark price. The record includes an instrument identifier, price value, event timestamp, and initialization timestamp. It distinguishes mark prices from trade…

This overview explains NautilusTrader’s market data types, order book levels, event flags, instruments, and bar construction. It distinguishes order by order L3 books from aggregated L2 books and top of book L1 books. Delta flags mark snapshot content and…

This example demonstrates how to model a futures contract reaching expiry in a backtest. It loads instrument definitions and best bid and offer quote data for two consecutive E-mini S&P 500 contracts, then submits a market buy for one expiring-contract unit…
