Your backtester needs a maintainer.
Your live strategy needs a host.
Original Zipline hasn't seen upstream maintenance since Quantopian died; zipline-reloaded keeps it importable at the cost of fiddly data-bundle setup — and live trading was never rebuilt. EventTrader is the live half: hosted strategies, real fills, no VPS.
Always-on strategy hosting
Cloned or configured bots run server-side around the clock — no VPS to rent, no notebook to babysit.
Free live deployment
Deploying a strategy against live markets costs nothing beyond the positions it takes. No per-node compute billing.
API, SDK, MCP
Documented REST API with generous authenticated rate limits, an SDK, and an MCP server for AI-driven workflows.
Why people look beyond Zipline
- Upstream unmaintained since 2020; survival depends on the community fork
- Data-bundle ingestion is manual and version-fragile (pandas breakage documented)
- No built-in live trading path
What you'd actually be trading here
EventTrader is a prediction exchange: perpetual prediction markets on crypto, stocks and macro moves with no expiry, live central-limit order books, event markets on real-world outcomes, and a marketplace of trading bots you can clone instead of coding. Position risk is capped at what you put in — no liquidation engine, no margin calls. Server-side alerts and free webhook auto-execution come with every account.
- Free means free. No card required. Nothing auto-converts into a paid plan.
- We are not a backtesting IDE. EventTrader is a prediction exchange where strategies run live — bring your research, deploy the result.
- No predictions sold. Markets are markets; we make no performance claims.
- Leave in one click. Withdraw on-chain any time, with a tx hash you can verify.
