Show HN: FLOX C++ trading systems framework with MCP

https://github.com/FLOX-Foundation/flox

FLOX is a C++23 trading framework for building trading systems with polyglot bindings. It provides blocks that may be used for setting up execution pipelines, market data gathering and backtesting. Key idea is to create a production grade framework with great ergonomic and AI-native DX. As a part of FLOX there is an MCP available to make it possible to use iterative loops over strategies...

100% agreed, stl containers should be replaced. The problem here is that I'd like to keep the core dependency-free... However, functionality first, squeeze maximum later.

Thank you for your ideas and advice! Great and valuable feedback

Appreciate your interest.

Yea, there is lot to be added, that's by design. I'm not aiming for one-pass toy, this is foundational infra, not a weekend simulator.

FP numbers wrapper are planned. Sharing strategies is not a priority, maybe I will add some just for demo. And for sure I'm not sharing backtesting engine.

Goal to build infra - not give away alpha.

Show HN: FLOX – C++ framework for building trading systems

https://github.com/eeiaao/flox

Finished my trading infrastructure project over the weekend - it’s called FLOX. Built in pure C++ (uses C++20 features), it’s a modular framework for building HFT systems, trading infra, market data feeds, or even something like a TradingView clone.Everything is open source: https://github.com/eeiaao/flox Docs: https://eeiaao.github.io/flox/There are tests and benchmarks to keep it...
