About Algolang

Algolang is a framework for the development, backtesting, and optimisation of algorithmic trading strategies. Written in Go, it compiles and executes trading strategies that are also written in Go, giving strategy developers access to a modern, high-performance programming language and its entire ecosystem of tools and libraries.

Algolang is designed for experienced algorithmic traders and developers who want to move beyond the limitations of legacy platforms like TradeStation. It provides a familiar trading model – strategies that execute bar-by-bar over OHLCV data, placing orders and managing positions – while leveraging the full power of a modern compiled language.
