Zipline is a Pythonic algorithmic trading library. It is an event-driven system that supports both backtesting and live-trading. Zipline is currently used in production as the backtesting and live-trading engine powering Quantopian -- a free, community-centered, hosted platform for building and executing trading strategies.Note: Installing Zipline via pip is slightly more involved than the average Python package. Simply running pip install zipline will likely fail if you've never installed any scientific Python packages before.

<ul>
<li>Ease of use: Zipline tries to get out of your way so that you can
focus on algorithm development. See below for a code example.</li>
<li>Zipline comes "batteries included" as many common statistics like
moving average and linear regression can be readily accessed from
within a user-written algorithm.</li>
<li>Input of historical data and output of performance statistics are
based on Pandas DataFrames to integrate nicely into the existing
PyData eco-system.</li>
<li>Statistic and machine learning libraries like matplotlib, scipy,
statsmodels, and sklearn support development, analysis, and
visualization of state-of-the-art trading systems.</li>
