Catalyst vs. Cryptotrader vs. Gekko vs. test_coverage Comparison Chart

Catalyst is an algorithmic trading library for crypto-assets written in Python. It allows trading strategies to be easily expressed and backtested against historical data (with daily and minute resolution), providing analytics and insights regarding a particular strategy’s performance. Catalyst also supports live-trading of crypto-assets starting with four exchanges (Binance, Bitfinex, Bittrex, and Poloniex) with more being added over time. Catalyst empowers users to share and curate data and build profitable, data-driven investment strategies. Please visit catalystcrypto.io to learn more about Catalyst. Catalyst builds on top of the well-established Zipline project. We did our best to minimize structural changes to the general API to maximize compatibility with existing trading algorithms, developer knowledge, and tutorials.

Gekko is free and 100% open source, you download and run the software on your own machine. Gekko only talks to the exchanges (if you want it too). We don't know anyhing about your strategies, usage, portfolio size or anything else (unless you tell us). Gekko supports 16 different exchanges (including Bitfinex, Bitstamp and Poloniex). Just tell Gekko which exchange you want to interact with and Gekko talks directly to the exchange. Gekko makes it possible to create your own trading strategies using TA indicators. Once you created it you can use Gekko to backtest your strategy over historical market data or run against the live market (using either a paper trader or real trader - making it a trading bot). Gekko comes with a webinterface (written from scratch) that let's you monitor your local data, strategies and can run backtests and visualize the results.
