abstract: >-
  Algorithmic and automated trading is out of the scope of
  retail investors, due to the technical complexity of it as
  well as the costs of development.

  Some brokers offer this service but at an upfront cost and
  a monthly fee. Users depend on the broker's platform and
  servers to execute the trades, giving the broker too much
  control over the user's data and trading activity.


  The solution implemented in this project is a customizable
  FOSS automated trading platform that can be used by retail
  investor communities to implement their trading strategies
  and by individual investors to automate their trading
  activity. 


  The platform is designed to be highly scalable and
  available, developed with a cloud-first approach, and
  using the latest technologies in the field of distributed
  systems, such as Kubernetes and public cloud providers'
  specific services.


  The specific implementation of the trading bot is out of
  the scope of this project. Nonetheless, the platform is
  designed to be easily extensible and customizable, through
  the use of docker containers.
