<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 strategy&#8217;s 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
<a class="reference external" href="https://discord.gg/SJK32GY">Discord</a> where we have a <em>#catalyst_dev</em> channel
for questions around Catalyst, algorithmic trading and technical support.</p>

<li>Backtesting and live-trading functionality, with a seamless transition
between the two modes.</li>
<li>Output of performance statistics are based on Pandas DataFrames to
integrate nicely into the existing PyData eco-system.</li>
<li>Statistic and machine learning libraries like matplotlib, scipy,
statsmodels, and sklearn support development, analysis, and
visualization of state-of-the-art trading systems.</li>
<li>Addition of Bitcoin price (btc_usdt) as a benchmark for comparing
performance across trading algorithms.</li>
