The system spans research, deterministic simulation, and live execution within a single event-driven architecture, with Python serving as the control plane for strategy logic, configuration, and orchestration. This separation provides the performance and safety of a compiled trading engine with the flexibility of Python for system composition and strategy development. Trading systems can also be written entirely in Rust for mission-critical workloads. The same strategy and execution-algorithm code can run across backtest and live systems, reducing deployment divergence. Live execution still introduces venue, transport, timing, persistence, external-activity, and reconciliation behavior that a simulation may not reproduce. See Backtest and live differences. NautilusTrader is asset-class-agnostic. Any venue with a REST API or WebSocket feed can be integrated through modular adapters. Current integrations span crypto exchanges (CEX and DEX), traditional markets (FX, equities, futures,…
