RIT-trading-python

Python trading module for the Rotman Interactive Trader trading
software. PyPI page.
Installation with pip: pip install ritpytrading
Full documentation available online.
A GitHub markdown flavor documentation can be found at documentation/README.md.



Prerequisites

Python 3.x
The Rotman Interactive Trading Client

The RIT Client only supports Windows OS. However, development of the PyPI ritpytrading package
can be in done in Linux/BSD environments as well.
The full documentation for the RIT Client REST API
can be found at
Swaggerhub. The
documentation is also present in a JSON format in the
swagger_client_generated folder.


Installing

RIT Client Software
The RIT Client for Windows can be downloaded at
http://rit.rotman.utoronto.ca/software.asp.
Instructions for setting up an RIT demonstration client account for the
Liability Trading 3 case file can be found at RIT’s website at
http://rit.rotman.utoronto.ca/demo.asp.
Virtual environment packages with virtualenv or anaconda should
be used for both Windows and Linux/BSD based systems.


Windows
Initialize the repository with git.
Detailed instructions to download git for windows can be found at atlassian. The repository can then be initialized with git using:
$ git clone https://github.com/SamSamhuns/RIT-trading-python
Two options are available after this:

Anaconda is recommended for Windows system. Set up up a virtual conda environment first.
Then open the anaconda prompt and use the command conda install --yes --file requirements.txt
to install all modules from requirements.txt.
Or Install python and add it to your PATH system variable.
Then install the pip package if not installed already also adding it to the PATH system variable.
Then run the following commands.

$ pip install virtualenv
$ virtualenv venv
$ .\venv\Scripts\activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Note: When using PowerShell in Windows, the virtual environment has to be activated with .\venv\Scripts\activate.ps1


Linux/BSD
After cloning the repository, install the required python packages using
pip.
$ git clone https://github.com/SamSamhuns/RIT-trading-python
$ pip install virtualenv
$ virtualenv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt



Building dists and running tests using makefile
For Windows, different options are available for using makefile. GnuWin’s make
provides a native port for Windows (without requiring a full runtime environment like Cygwin).
After installing GnuWin, add C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin
to your system PATH variable to run makefiles from any directory.

For Windows, run makefile commands with make -f Makefile.win <directive>. Example make -f Makefile.win help
For Linux/BSD, run makefile commands with make <directive>.

Run the following command to get a list of all Makefile command options.
$ make help
To run tests
$ make test
$ make test-all
To ensure the README.rst will be rendered in PyPI [might be outdated. Check twine check below]
$ python setup.py check --restructuredtext
To report any problems rendering your README. If your markup renders fine, the command will output Checking distribution FILENAME: Passed. To run the check on sdist and wheel.
$ twine check dist/*
To build the source and wheel package.
$ make dist


Running tests with the python unittest module
Once python has been added to the PATH system variable in Windows,
the code for running the scripts on Windows and Linux/BSD based systems
are the same.
From the main directory, run:
$ python -m unittest
If no tests are run from the command above, run the verbose mode.
Verbose mode
$ python -m unittest discover -v


Usage (Only on Windows)
IMPORTANT:

The RIT Trading client must also be running to make sure the REST RIT API Client requests can be made.
In each script your RIT Client API key must be entered and the requests module be imported to make API calls.
The API and API Orders mode must be enabled in the RIT Client for the python module to send order requests.

To test out the ritpytrading package, install using pip inside a virtual environment:
$ pip install ritpytrading
Examples scripts are present inside the examples folder. Documentation for usage available here.
