Welcome to Prophet
==================

Prophet is a Python microframework for financial markets. Prophet strives to let the programmer focus on modeling financial strategies, portfolio management, and analyzing backtests. It achieves this by having few functions to learn to hit the ground running, yet being flexible enough to accomodate sophistication.

Go to :ref:`quickstart` to get started or see the :ref:`tutorial` for a more thorough introduction.

Prophet's data generators, order generators, and analyzers are all executed sequentially which is conducive to allowing individuals to build off of others work. If you have a package you would like to share, please open an issue on the github repository to register it in the :ref:`registry`.
