Activity of foolcage/fooltrader repository

The fooltrader repository is an open-source project on GitHub maintained by 'foolcage'. This repository is focused on building a system for backtesting and live trading quantitative strategies for stocks. This can be very useful for individuals who are interested in quantitative finance or financial engineering.

The system is built using Python and provides various features such as:

• Financial data crawling: It collects various financial data necessary for backtesting including stock data, future data, index data, financial reports, etc.
• Data Storage: It stores the fetched financial data on the local file system in csv or json format. Users can use elasticsearch for big data storage and quick indexing.
• Backtesting: It allows users to backtest their quantitative strategies with real-world data.
• Trading: The system can also be used for real-time trading with certain Chinese markets currently supported.
• Visualization: Users can visualize their backtesting results, draw charts and do deep analysis.

However, note that the repository does not seem to be maintained actively since the last commit was on August 24, 2020.
