Mock Market
===========
Description
-----------
A simple market sim. The main point is to build a playground for me to
experiment with and learn about various concepts and technologies (OTP,
high-traffic servers, monitoring, various protocols and eventually crawling,
web mining, AI, NLP and ML). For now, just playing with an infrastructure,
while all events are random, eventually "mock_market_exchange" will facilitate
trading competition between competing trading agents. Once protocol is
designed, any implementation should be able join the trading competition.
### Disclaimer ###
I don't actually know anything (nor much care) about the problem domain, it
just seems like a convenient, simple paradigm to employ and orchestrate a lot
of technology and concepts that I'm interested in :)
### Serialization format ###
MIX: Mock Information eXchange, a FIX-like message format.
```
"type=msg_type|key_1=value_1|...|key_n=value_n\n"
```
Road Map
--------
* More elaborate communication protocol
* Actual trading between agents with finite amounts of starting capital
* Mock Bank app to store and manipulate capital information
* More elaborate data logging
* Data visualisation
* Secure communication channel(s) (SSH, SSL)
* RESTful interface
* Agents choose between available com channels (TCP binary, SSH binary, HTTPS)
* Smarter trading choices
* Front-end web interfaces
Usage
-----
See `apps/*/src/*_config.hrl` for configurable values.
Compile:
```sh
make
```
Start Exchange:
```sh
$ ./bin/mock_exchange
```
Start Trader:
```sh
$ ./bin/mock_exchange
```
Watch trade log:
```sh
$ tail -f ./data/transactions.dat
```
