Tempest

Inspiration

A long time ago I made a project called "tempestad". It was just a crypto trading bot. Managing multiple versions of my bot was hard.

My idea for this hackathon was to build a service to run raw trading algorithms without worrying about connecting to the exchange (stocks or crypto). With tempest you can just upload the math & not worry about the exchange.

this project does not use any code from tempestad

What it does

Manages trading algorithms. It currently can only manage 1 algorithm, but that algorithm can be built with any language.

How we built it

I built it using golang & gRPC.

Challenges we ran into

Figuring out the interface took a long time & implementing gRPC took forever.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I went into this hackathon with one goal: DO NOT USE SWIFT & NO iOS PROGRAMMING. This is because I spend way too much time programming mobile apps. I'm happy to report that I succeeded. Also, I learned gRPC (to some degree)!

What we learned

gRPC

What's next for Tempest

Finishing up the multiple-bots aspect. Also adding analytics features & scripts for automatic cloud deployment.
