About the project

Kestrel is the trading desk I wanted for myself: a pure, deterministic engine (indicators, rules, risk, backtesting with BigInt money so no decimal drift), a strategy builder on top of it, and a live runner that can tick a strategy against paper, testnet or a real account.

Two years of real 15-minute to daily candles for BTC and SOL are cached locally for backtests. Going live is gated behind a typed confirmation, a kill switch and risk guards, and sessions deliberately never auto-resume after a restart.

What it does

Deterministic backtest engine with exact-decimal money
Visual strategy builder on EMA, RSI and MACD rules
Paper, testnet and live sessions behind an arming gate
Risk guards, kill switch and a full session ledger
