Learn NautilusTrader

Overview

A structured learning pathway from beginner to NT developer. Walks through installation, examples, concepts, and progressively deeper implementation — from Python strategies to Rust internals to full Rust trading systems.

Workflow

1. Ask: "What's your current level with NautilusTrader?"
   • Brand new → Start at Stage 01
   • Can run examples → Start at Stage 03
   • Can write strategies → Start at Stage 05
   • Want to learn Rust internals → Start at Stage 08
   • Want to write full Rust trading systems → Start at Stage 09
   • Want to build/extend NT → Start at Stage 10
2. Work through stages sequentially from entry point
3. Each stage has concepts, exercises, and a checkpoint
4. Ask user for local NT path at first source exploration
