Write strategies

A core functionality of Marketcetera is its strategy engine, which listens and responds to market events.

The engine is supported by a Strategy API to simplify processing these events. In this API, the most used modules are askEvent, bidEvent, TradeEvent, and MarketStatEvent.

Prerequisites​

To write a strategy, ensure you have the following:

  • The ability to write a script and compile it into a Java archive file.
  • DARE installed and running
  • Access to Marketdata

Example​

An example strategy with its Java and compiled JAR file, can be found in the strategies/strategy-sample directory of the open-source repository.

Next steps​

After you've written a strategy, you can Run it from Photon.
