Further Development

Long term vision

• This project aims to provide a consistent broker api to simplify building a trading strategy. In order for a new broker to be added, a wrapper api must be developed to normalize the broker api with what is currently available
• Tensorflow will be added to support strategies that want to use Machine Learning.
• A repository of plugins will allow the community to share strategies.
