<p>Catalyst is an algorithmic trading library for crypto-assets written in Python.
It allows trading strategies to be easily expressed and backtested against
historical data (with daily and minute resolution), providing analytics and
insights regarding a particular strategys performance. Catalyst also supports
live-trading of crypto-assets starting with three exchanges (Bitfinex, Bittrex,
and Poloniex) with more being added over time. Catalyst empowers users to share
and curate data and build profitable, data-driven investment strategies. Please
visit <a class="reference external" href="https://www.enigma.co">enigma.co</a> to learn more about Catalyst.</p>
<p>Catalyst builds on top of the well-established
<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/quantopian/zipline">Zipline</a> project. We did our best to
minimize structural changes to the general API to maximize compatibility with
existing trading algorithms, developer knowledge, and tutorials. Join us on the
<a class="reference external" href="https://catalyst.enigma.co/">Catalyst Forum</a> for questions around Catalyst,
algorithmic trading and technical support. We also have a
<a class="reference external" href="https://discord.gg/SJK32GY">Discord</a> group with the <em>#catalyst_dev</em> and
<em>#catalyst_setup</em> dedicated channels.</p>
