What is ProfitPy? ProfitPy is a set of libraries and tools for the development, testing, and execution of automated stock trading systems Specifically, ProfitPy is a collection of Python packages, modules, and scripts that work together to help you implement an automated stock trading program (or programs). The package features:

A library with classes for accounts, orders, tickers, and more A GUI program for executing and plotting trades in real-time A GUI tool to collect ticker data for off-line use A CLI tool to back-test trading strategies Dozens of technical indicators and plotting widgets to display them An X11 keystroke tool for automating the TWS application No, really, what is it? ProfitPy is my trading toolkit. I use its collector tool to gather data from IB TWS. Using this data, I run the coverage tool to test my trading strategies. Once I'm happy with a strategy, it gets executed with the main GUI program.

I don't include any trading strategies that work -- those are for you to write.

This toolkit only works with one broker, Interactive Brokers. Their TWS application and its API, along with crazy-low commissions and fees, make for many, many trading opportunities.
