harvest
Harvest is a Python framework for algorithmic trading, that packs a lot of punch:
- Trade stocks, cryptos, even options! (if your brokerage supports them)
- Backtest on historical data
- Paper trading

For Developers
Interested in coding for Harvest? Awesome!  But before you begin, skim through the following sections:
Local Testing
While generic tests are built into the CI/CD workflow, ideally you should conduct testing on your local working environment before pushing. This is especially true if you are working on a new feature, debugging, or making large modifications.
Testing Harvest
Testing Harvest often requires you to provide login credentials to access the brokers, so it is recommended that you test the code in a different directory than your working directory.
For example, if you cloned this repo into C:\Alice\document\harvest, you can create a new directory C:\Alice\document\testing. All of your test codes and access credentials should then be stored in testing to ensure they don't accidentally get pushed to the public repo. You can run
pip install ../harvest
from testing to install the latest codebase from your local machine.
If you want to run the generic tests locally, run:
python -m unittest discover -s test
Testing Websites
The Harvest project has two websites: one for the Harvest homepage, and the other is the web interface to monitor Harvest.
The Harvest homepage is a pre-rendered NextJS/React website. Navigate to harvest/website, and run
npm run dev
to start a hot-reloading dev server. If you think the website looks good, run
npm run build && npm run export
to make sure the website can build without any problems.
Details of Harvest web interface coming soon
Documentation
Refer to the docs folder for full documentation of the codebase. The documentation provided on the website is for end users and intentionally leaves out some parts.
