Welcome to the AST wiki!

The AST project aims at building a fundamental, flexible, configurable, cross-platformed, C++ based quantitative transaction system. The current plan emphasizes mainly on stock exchange.

The entire system architecture is designed and implemented as a multi-process application with ipc calls based on shared memory, which transmit data among these processes, that's why it's called IPCIF.

Like database systems, this transaction system is normally running totally on background, without any GUI window to be created, and is interacted with users using command line consoles, on Windows, it's cmd.exe or pwsh.exe, on Linux, it's bash. However, a log system is kept to output level-based information to trace the on-going activities being performed, such as program starting, ending, running status, data collection, data storage, data analysis, data modeling, prediction, transaction strategy and recording.
