LumiBot
Python trading framework to backtest, paper trade and run strategies (rule-based or AI-driven) on stocks, options, futures, forex and crypto through several brokers.
A practical bridge from backtest to broker for Python users; ignore the AI hype and judge it as a framework.
Who it is for
Python developers who want the same strategy code to run in backtests, paper trading and live accounts.
Strengths
- 'lumibot demo' runs a backtest on free daily data without an API key or broker account.
- Same Strategy class for backtesting and live; broker configuration kept separate.
- Twelve broker integrations according to the project.
Good to know
- The AI template needs an OpenAI API key and billed model calls.
- Heavy marketing of 'AI agents that place the trade': an LLM decision is still an untested strategy until you backtest it properly.
- GPL-3.0 license: check the obligations if you redistribute modified code.
