An implementation of a Stockfighter server in Python 3
Written by Stockfighter user Amtiskaw (a.k.a. Fohristiwhirl on GitHub)

• Run python3 disorderBook_main.py   (also requires disorderBook_book.py to be present)
• Connect your trading bots to   http://127.0.0.1:8000/ob/api/   instead of the normal URL
• Don't use https

With the help of Medecau, we now use the Bottle library for request handling; a copy of the library is included in the repo (and will be used if needed), though you could also install it with pip install bottle.

You might want to set up a virtualenv to do your work in.

There is no authentication by default. If you want authentication, edit accounts.json to contain a list of valid users and their API keys and run python3 disorderBook_main.py -a accounts.json (then authentication will work in the same way as on the official servers, via "X-Starfighter-Authorization" headers).

• Your bots can use whatever accounts, venues, and symbols they like
• New exchanges/stocks are created as needed when someone tries to do something on them
• Two stupid bots are included - you must start them (or many copies) manually
• Scores can be accessed at   /ob/api/venues/<venue>/stocks/<symbol>/scores   (accessing this with your bots is cheating though)

• No websockets yet, or maybe ever
• Everything persists forever; we will eventually run out of RAM or the CPU will get bogged down

• disorderBook does not serve traffic directly, except to clients on the same host
• disorderBook does not speak TLS

If you want either of these features, put it behind a reverse proxy like NGINX.

An experimental version with the backend in C is being worked on. Sadly, this doesn't lead to the sort of speedups you might hope (the bottleneck seems to be the frontend).
