Post by ingyukoh » Tue Nov 26, 2019 7:08 am

My java is not proficient.  Do bookmap has python wrapper around java for python programmer?
Best regards,
Ingyu

Hi Ingyu,
There's no python-specific wrapper. If you need to write a connectivity module you can interface Bookmap with an external executable (take a look here).
For writing strategies/indicators Java is the only way.

What a shame. Python is THE language to use for data retrieval, manipulation and analysis. Very few quants, pro-/algo- traders are using anything else, these days, as most consider Java to be a clunky relic from the last century, at least when it comes to data analysis.

Perhaps someone else has written some wrappers we can use?

Hi,
Please create a feature request for Python API here. Encourage pro-/algo- traders who need Python to join the request - it will increase the feature request priority.
