My trading infrastructure:

Python, ZMQ pub/sub sockets, C++ ZMQ brokers, InfluxDB, and Discord for alerting. Started as a threaded monolith and re-wrote it as small single-threaded/tasked services.
Network latency dominates language speed, so Python is fine. ZMQ brokers are in C++ for speed.
Discord is convenient and reliable.
Not attached to any tech (opposite of attached to Python).

How to find edge(s) in markets, a thread.

It's tempting to use common models using price and volume (including technical analysis) on highly analyzed and very liquid markets, like the S&P. But, why would you expect to consistently make money with MA crossovers on E-Minis?

👇 You need something more than a simple system, given that these assets are highly watched and very accessible.

You can invest in more data and complicated models, but now you have to deal with: overfitting, competition with smarter more resourceful people, wasted time and money.
