# go-trader

A financial exchange written in Go including complete order book, fix protocol, and market data distribution.

Check out [cpp_orderbook](https://github.com/robaho/cpp_orderbook) for a basic C++ version.

Uses quickfixgo or gRPC for client/server communication.

Uses UDP multicast for market distribution.

It uses the high-performance fixed point library [fixed](https://github.com/robaho/fixed) which I also developed.

There is a sample client with a command line GUI, a sample "market maker", and a sample "playback".

The exchange itself has a bare bones web interface, that uses web sockets to provide real-time book updates.

The exchange is designed to allow for easy back-testing of trading strategies. It supports limit and market orders.

There is a very simple sample "algo". The program structure is applicable to many strategies that use an entry and exit price.
This can be run in conjunction with the 'marketmaker' sample to test the "algo". Hint: it has a 50/50 chance of being successful EXCEPT the
market maker bid/ask spread must be accounted for - which makes it far less than a 50/50 chance of being profitable...

There are two different web interfaces available:
- the default interface at / uses Go templates and server side rendering
- the alternative UI is written in Typescript using [Lit](https://lit.dev) and the Rest api, and is available at /lit

Use `npm run build` in the web_lit directory to build the Lit assets.

It was primarily developed to further my knowledge of Go and test its suitability for high-performance financial applications.

# performance

Configuration:

- client machine is a Mac Mini M1, running OSX Sonoma
- server machine is a 4.0 ghz i7 iMac (4 core, 8 thread), running OSX Monterey
- using 1 gbit ethernet connection
- a quote is a double-sided (bid & ask)
- timings are measured from the quote message generation on the client, to the reception of the multicast market data on the client
