NautilusTrader sandbox execution adapter for paper trading.
The nautilus-sandbox crate provides a simulated execution client that uses the
OrderMatchingEngine to simulate order execution against live market data. This enables
paper trading and strategy testing in real-time without actual order execution on exchanges.
OrderMatchingEngine.NautilusTrader is an open-source, production-grade, Rust-native engine for multi-asset, multi-venue trading systems.
The system spans research, deterministic simulation, and live execution within a single event-driven architecture, providing research-to-live semantic parity.
This crate provides feature flags to control source code inclusion during compilation:
python: Enables Python bindings from PyO3.extension-module: Builds as a Python extension module.High-precision mode (128-bit value types) is enabled by default.
See the docs for more detailed usage.
