Trades by Cortex was an automated trading company I co-founded with Matt Corey, a financial analyst and a long time business partner. The goal of the company was to build a flexible, high-performance system for strategies that required large amounts of data.
I decided to build the system in Rust after trying a few other implementations, as it gave a stability and safety guarantee that let me focus on business logic and event-loop correctness, not worrying about pointers or uncaught errors.
