The fastest way from backtest to live trading

Backtest to live in seconds. StrateQueue lets you deploy any Python trading strategy (backtrader, zipline, vectorbt, backtrader, etc.) to any broker with one command: stratequeue deploy --strategy ./your_script.py. No code changes.

🎯 The Magic: From Backtest to Live in One Command

class SMAStrategy(Strategy): def init(self): self.sma_short = self.I(ta.SMA, self.data.Close, 10) self.sma_long = self.I(ta.SMA, self.data.Close, 20) def next(self): if crossover(self.sma_short, self.sma_long): self.buy() elif crossover(self.sma_long, self.sma_short): self.sell()

pip install stratequeue stratequeue deploy \ --strategy examples/strategies/backtestingpy/sma.py \ --symbol AAPL \ --timeframe 1m

Python 3.10 or newer (tested up to 3.11)
pip and a virtual environment (recommended)
(Optional) Broker API credentials if you plan to trade live (e.g. Alpaca, Interactive Brokers)
(Optional) A C compiler for building certain dependencies (TA-Lib, IB-API) on Linux/macOS

Install the core package:

If you need support for a specific engine or want everything in one go:

# Zipline support pip install "stratequeue[zipline]" # Backtrader support pip install "stratequeue[backtrader]" # Backtesting.py support pip install "stratequeue[backtesting]" # VectorBT support pip install "stratequeue[vectorbt]" # Everything pip install "stratequeue[all]"
