disorderBook Prime

An implementation of a Stockfighter server in C and Go
Written by Stockfighter user Amtiskaw (a.k.a. Fohristiwhirl on GitHub)

Usage

• Compile disorderBook.c and name the executable disorderBook.exe
• Compile disorderBook_front.go and run it
• Connect your trading bots to   http://127.0.0.1:8000/ob/api/   instead of the normal URL
• WebSockets are at   ws://127.0.0.1:8000/ob/api/ws/
• Don't use https or wss

Authentication

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 use the command line option -accounts accounts.json (then authentication will work in the same way as on the official servers, via "X-Starfighter-Authorization" headers).

Other features

• 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
• Some stupid bots are available to trade against - 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)

Issues

• Everything persists forever; we will eventually run out of RAM
• The timestamps are only accurate to the nearest second
• By default, only accepts connections from localhost

Python version

This is a remake of my earlier server made with Python, which is slower.
