Welcome to Open Trader

What is it all about ?

Open Trader is an Open Source professionnal grade trading suite, targeted at high-frequency algorithmic trading and statistical arbitrage.
The C# code base is currently made of around 45.000 uncommented code lines in about 400 files, here are the class diagrams.
Some screenshots are also available, as well as some slides

We use current technologies (.NET Framework 3.5 SP1, SQL Server, StyleCop, ...)

Who we are and what we do

We're a team of pluri-competent algorithmic IT/Quant/Traders with broad professionnal experiences of equity, IR and FX markets (up to 10 years in well known trading firms)
Our company www.systemathics.com sells integrated knowledge to high-end professional trading firms (track record proven algorithms and models with full source code. Consulting and support)
All our strategies and models run natively in Open Trader and we will continuously improve it in a pure Open Source way. It's not a source license trick but a full GPL code base within a public and visible portal

Current status of the project

Open Trader is still under development and should be considered beta
Some of our prime customers are running special Systemathics versions and we target production for Q4 2009
